1、 Designation:E 8406An American National StandardStandard Test Method forSurface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials 1This standard is issued under the xeddesignation E 84; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of original adoption or, in the case of revision,

2、the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A superscript epsilon (e indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval. This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1This re-test-responsesta

3、ndard for the comparative surface burning behavior of building materials is applicable to exposed surfaces such as walls and ceilings. The test is conducted with the specimen in the ceiling position with the surface to be evaluated exposed face down to the ignition source. The material, product, or

4、assembly shall be capable of being mounted in the test position during the test. Thus, the specimen shall either be self-supporting by its own structural quality, held in place by added supports along the test surface, or secured from the back side.1.2The purpose of this test method is to determine

5、the relative burning behavior of the material by observing the amespread along the specimen. Flame spread and smoke developed index are reported. However, there is not necessarily a relationship between these two measurements.1.3The use of supporting materials on the underside of the test specimen h

6、as the ability to lower the amespread index from those which might be obtained if the specimen could be tested without such support. These test results do not neces-sarily relate to indices obtained by testing materials without such support.1.4Testing of materials that melt, drip, or delaminate to s

7、uch a degree that the continuity of the amefront is destroyed, results in low amespread indices that do not relate directly to indices obtained by testing materials that remain in place. 1.5The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard.1.6The text of this standard referenc

8、es notes and footnotes that provide explanatory information. These notes and foot-notes, excluding those in tables and gures,shall not be considered as requirements of the standard.1.7This standard is used to measure and describe the response of materials, products, or assemblies to heat and ameunde

9、r controlled conditions, but does not by itself incorporate all factors required for re-hazardor re-riskassessment of the materials, products, or assemblies under actual reconditions. .1.8This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the

10、 responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.
