ASTM E 162: surface flammability of materials using a radiant heat energy source

Standard name --ASTME162/ASTM E 162
ASTM E 162: Standard test method for surface flammability of materials using a radiant heat energy source.

Test Method --ASTME162/ASTM E 162
According to ASTM E 162 standard using a radiant heat source for surface flammability test, radiant heat panels is 12 * 18 feet, radiant heat source placed on the front panel samples, Samples close to the ignition source. Board index calculated radiation: Is, the sample flame spread factor Fs, the heat change factor Q, as follows
Is = Fs * Q

This test method is applied to NFPA130 fire performance testing part
Test data requirements: Is ≤ 25 or Is ≤ 35
