Title
Standard Test Method for Effects of Flame Impingement on Materials Used in Protective Clothing Not Designated Primarily for Flame Resistance
ASTM International
Publication Date:
May 1, 2008
Scope:
This test method establishes a small-scale laboratory screening
procedure for comparing the ignition resistance and burning
characteristics of materials used in protective clothing where
flame resistance is not the primary form of protection provided by
the clothing.
It is more appropriate to evaluate materials used in
applications where flame resistance is the primary form of
protection provided by the clothing by other flammability test
methods. This test method shall not be used to evaluate materials
where flame resistance is the primary form of protection offered by
the protective clothing.
This test method provides a means for comparing ease of ignition
and burning behavior of materials which include plastic or
elastomeric films, coated fabrics, flexible laminates,
multilayer-material systems, or other protective clothing materials
that are not designated for offering flame resistance as their
primary form of protection.
This test method measures and describes the response of
materials, products, or assemblies to heat and flame under
controlled conditions, but does not by itself incorporate all
factors required for fire hazard or fire risk assessment of the
materials, products, or assemblies under actual fire
conditions.
The values stated in SI units or other units shall be regarded
separately. The values stated in each system may not be exact
equivalents; therefore, each system must be used independently,
without combining values.
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.
