BS 476-7:1997 Classification of spread of flame

BS 476-7:1997 Classification of spread of flame

BS 476-7 Fire tests on building materials and structures-Part 7 method of test to determine the classification of the surface spread of flame of products.

 

The specimen is mounted in a water-cooled holder and is exposed to a radiant panel over a ten minute test duration. In addition, a pilot flame is applied to the bottom corner of the specimen during the first minute of test. The time required for the flame front to reach reference marks on the specimen is noted, together with the extent of flame spread at one minute thirty seconds test duration and at the end of the test. Observations are also made of the burning behaviour.

 

Materials are classified according to test performance as shown in the table below. Class 1 is the best classification that can be achieved during this test alone and Class 4 is the worst classification that can be achieved on this test. Class 4 materials are considered high risk.
