EN 60707 Flammability of solid non-metallic materials when exposed to flame sources – List of test methods

1.Scope

This International Standard lists test methods applicable to solid non-materials having an apparent density of not less than 250kg/m3, determined in accordance with ISO 845, and intended to serve as a preliminary indication of the behaviour of these materials when exposed to a flame ignition source. The results make it possible to check the constancy of the characteristics of a material and provide an indication of the progress in the development of materials and a relative comparison and classification of various materials.
