3、als used for various applications.1.2 This guide includes standardized North American andglobal test methods promulgated byASTM,CSA,NFPA,SAE,Underwriters Laboratories,North American GovernmentAgencies,IEC,and ISO.It does not include industrial tests,user specification tests,nor nonstandard test meth
4、ods.This listof tests is not exhaustive and the user must assume other testsmay exist for specific materials or applications.1.3 This guide is arranged according to products and sys-tems.1.4 The test methods described in this guide should be usedsolely to measure and describe the properties of mater
5、ials,products,or systems in response to heat and flame undercontrolled laboratory conditions and should not be consideredor used for the description,appraisal,or regulation of the firehazard of materials,products,or systems under actual fireconditions.1.5 This standard does not purport to address al
6、l of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.Specific precau-tionary statements are given in 3.2.NOTE1There is
