Title
Standard Test Method for Determining the Ignitability of Non-Flame-Resistant Materials for Clothing by Electric Arc Exposure Method Using Mannequins
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Apr 10, 1999
Scope:
This test method is used to identify materials that are ignitable and
that can continue to burn
when exposed to an electric arc, and determines (a) the incident
exposure energy that causes
ignition, and (b) the probability of ignition.
The specimens tested in this test method are materials fabricated in
the form of shirts.
This test method shall be used to measure and describe the properties
of materials, products, or
assemblies in response to convective and radiant energy generated by
an electric arc under
controlled laboratory conditions.
The values stated in either SI units or in other units shall be
regarded separately as standard.
The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents,
therefore each system must be used
independently of the other, without combining values in any way.
This standard shall not be used to describe or appraise the fire
hazard or fire risk of materials,
products, or assemblies under actual fire conditions. However, results
of this test may be used as
elements of a fire assessment which takes into account all of the
factors which are pertinent to an
assessment of the fire hazard of a particular end use.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,
if any, associated with its
use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to
establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
For specific precautions, see Section 7.
