TEST METHOD FOR MEASURING THE COMPARATIVE BURNING CHARACTERISTICS OF SOLID PLASTICS IN A VERTICAL POSITION (FIRST REVISION)
This Malaysian Standard fire-test-response standard covers a small-scale laboratory procedure for determining comparative burning characteristics of solid-plastic material, using a 20-mm (50W) premixed flame applied to the base of specimens held in a vertical position. NOTE 1—This test method and the 20 mm (50W) Vertical Burning Test (V-0, V-1, or V-2) of ANSI/UL 94 are equivalent. NOTE 2—This test method and Test Method B of IEC 60695–11–10 are equivalent. IEC 60695–11–10 has replaced ISO 1210. NOTE 3—For additional information on materials that burn up to the holding clamp by this test method, see Test Method D 635. For test methods of flexible plastics in the form of thin sheets and film, see Test Method D 4804. For additional information on comparative burning characteristics and resistance to burn-through, see Test Method D 5048. This test method was developed for polymeric materials used for parts in devices and appliances. The results are intended to serve as a preliminary indic
