NF P 92-503 Fire test to Building materials - Standard Title:
> NF P92-503: Safety against fire: Building materials – Reaction to fire tests. Electrical burner test used for flexible materials
NF P 92-503 Fire test to Building materials - Scope:
This document aims to define a method for reaction to fire tests used for:
> flexible material
> tight fitting flexible wall and ceiling coatings of any thickness
> flexible filtering media of any thickness
NF P 92-503 Fire test to Building materials - Principle:
The test involves submitting, under defined conditions, the test pieces to the action of:
> heat radiation
> hot gases sweeping the surface of the test pieces
If require, a pilot flame is used to cause the inflammation of the pyrolysis gas.
The time to inflammation, the persistence of the flame, the nature and the effects of combustion are noted.
NF P 92-503 Fire test to Building materials - Test Method:
NF P 92-503 M rating test Classify the fire test to M1, M2, M3, M4,M0 is the highest class
Observe the following Result in the test and classify the rating
> Burning Time
> Burning Time
> Dropping
> Destroyed length
