NATO REACTION-TO-FIRE TESTS FOR MATERIALS HEAT RELEASE RATE

active, Most Current
Organization: NATO
Publication Date: 1 July 2010
Status: active
Page Count: 29
scope:

This Allied Publication defines a method for measurement of heat release rate from a material, using a cone calorimeter. The procedure is an implementation of ISO 5660-1. This is supplemented to include detailed requirements for specimen preparation for particular types of material, additional details for test and calibration procedures to enhance repeatability/reproducibility and requirements for data presentation.
