Standard Practice for Ignition Sources

Importancia y uso:

5.1 A variety of standard test methods, specifications, and regulations have been issued by a number of different standards developing organizations and regulatory authorities that contain ignition sources used to assess fire-test-response characteristics associated with flaming and non-flaming ignition. This practice describes such ignition sources and provides information on the standard method in which they are described.

5.2 The ignition source to be chosen for any specific use needs to be relevant to the fire hazard associated with the intended application. Neither the scope of the standard containing the ignition source nor any other aspect of the standard has any bearing on the use of the ignition source for another application.

5.3 This practice is not expected to be a fully comprehensive list of ignition sources. If additional ignition sources are identified they can be added to the practice.

5.4 This practice does not describe test specimen preparation or detailed testing procedures for the materials or products.

5.5 This practice does not address limitations associated with the ignition sources described in this practice.

5.6 This practice does not necessarily address the latest edition of any standard referenced.
