Standard Test Method for Flammability of Electrical Insulating Materials Intended for Wires or Cables When Burning in Horizontal Configuration

Importancia y uso:

5.1 This horizontal flame test method measures the ability of the material to cease flaming when the source of ignition used is removed.

5.2 This test method also provides a measure of the capability of the material to spread flame by dripping of flaming particles.

5.3 This test method is used to assess the horizontal flame test performance of electrical insulation materials in Test Methods D470.

5.4 In this test method, the test specimens are subjected to one or more specific sets of laboratory test conditions. If different test conditions are substituted or the end-use conditions are changed, it is not always possible by or from this test to predict changes in the fire-test-response characteristics measured. The results are therefore valid only for the fire-test-exposure conditions described in this test method.
