Ignitability Test for Building Materials: Influence of Fuel Gases and The Design of the Burner's Flame Stabilizer on Test Results

摘要

In the harmonization of the European test codes in the context of preventive fire-protection techniques for buildings, the single flame source test is to be adopted as a European test method. This method is used to evaluate the fire behaviour of a building material subjected to an impingement by a small flame, e. g. the flame of a match. The technique is used to provide evidence in the determination whether a building material may be assigned the Euroclass E. Building materials that do not meet the requirements of this building material class are designated as Euroclass F.
