scope:

This standard introduces safeguards to reduce the likelihood of room flash-over as a result of accidental ignition of exterior housings of products likely to be used in the home caused by a candle flame. This standard is in general a test method and does not intend to define requirements for certain products. Compliance with the content of this document is therefore only needed if there is a product standard specifically requiring its use.
