1、Designation:D289810Standard Practice forAccelerated Weathering of Fire-Retardant-Treated Wood forFire Testing1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D2898;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last
2、revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This practice addresses the durability of a fire-retardanttreatment of wood products by exposure to accelerated cyclesof wetting
3、,drying,or ultraviolet(UV)exposure,or combina-tion thereof,prior to evaluation by a fire response test.Fourconditioning methods are described.1.2 This practice is applicable to wood products that havebeen treated with fire-retardant chemicals by pressure impreg-nation.1.3 The test specimens are to b

9、efinitionsDefinition used in this practice are inaccordance with Terminologies D9 and E176,unless otherwiseindicated.4.Significance and Use4.1 This practice describes different methods of exposingfire-retardant-treated wood products or assemblies to con-trolled accelerated weathering or conditioning
10、.4.2 The conditioning simulates effects of leaching,drying,temperature,and,in two methods,UV light.4.3 Method A is the method normally specified for regula-tory purposes when testing fire-retardant-treated wood that isintended for exterior applications.5.Apparatus5.1 The test apparatus shall be capa
11、ble of subjecting thespecimen uniformly to the test conditions described in Section7.5.2 No special means of protecting the specimen back andedges are required,but water shall not impinge directly onthose surfaces which are not exposed either to the weather inthe assembled form,or to fire in the sub
12、sequent test.Waterspray nozzles shall be provided and arranged so as to distributewater evenly over the exposed specimen surface.1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D07 on Wood andare the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D07.07 on Fire Performance of Wood.Current edition
