scope:
This Part of ISO 9239 describes a test method for measuring the wind-opposed flame spread behaviour of horizontally mounted floor-covering systems exposed to a radiant heat gradient in a test chamber when ignited with a pilot flame. The imposed radiant flux simulates the thermal radiation levels likely to impinge on the floor of a corridor whose upper surfaces are heated by flames or hot gases or both, during the early stages of a developing fire in an adjacent room or compartment under wind-opposed flame spread conditions.
