Flame tester is a test equipment used to evaluate the combustion performance of materials. The following are common safety standards or regulations related to Flame testing:
1. UL94: UL 94 is a flammability test standard formulated by Underwriters Laboratories in the United States to evaluate the fire performance of plastic materials. It is divided into three grades of V-0, V-1, and V-2, and V-0 is the highest grade, that is, the material shall not exceed 10 seconds after burning and shall not drip the burning material.
2. IEC 60695: IEC 60695 is a series of standards developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (International Electrotechnical Commission) to evaluate the fire performance of materials under flame conditions. Among them, IEC 60695-11-5 and IEC 60695-2-11 are the two most commonly used standards, which are used to evaluate the fire performance of materials under vertical and horizontal flame conditions respectively.
3. GB/T 2408: GB/T 2408 is a flammability test standard formulated by the Standardization Administration of China to evaluate the fire performance of plastic materials. It is divided into four grades: HB, V-0, V-1, and V-2, similar to the UL94 standard.
4. ASTM E84: ASTM E84 is a flammability test standard developed by the American Society for Testing and Materials to evaluate the fire performance of building materials under flame conditions. The evaluation criteria are flame spread speed and smoke density.
5. NFPA 701: NFPA 701 is a flammability test standard developed by the National Fire Protection Association to evaluate the fire performance of textiles under flame conditions. It is divided into two grades: 701 and 701-1, of which 701-1 is the highest grade, requiring textiles not to burn or drip burning materials under flame conditions.
These standards or regulations usually specify the following aspects:
Test methods and procedures for Flame test.
Requirements, installation and maintenance of Flame test equipment.
Flame test safety requirements and precautions, such as fire prevention, explosion protection, and smoke prevention.
Flame test results judging criteria and classification levels.
Reporting and logging requirements for Flame tests.
By following these standards or regulations, you can ensure the safety and accuracy of Flame tests.
