BS6853 Annex D.8.3 Smoke density testing using small scale test method

1. Standard- BS6853 Annex D 
BS6853 Annex D: Methods for measuring smoke density
BS6853:1999 Code of practice for fire precautions in the design and construction of passenger carrying trains.

BS 6853 Annex D.8.3 is utilized for Minor Use Materials (Tables 7 and 8 of BS 6853: 1999) and Textiles (Table 11 of BS 6853: 1999). 

2. Standard Brief-BS6853 Annex D
The smoke density measurement taken from a material under fire conditions gives an indication of the visibility through the smoke, this is important as reduced visibility in a real fire situation makes it more difficult to escape from a fire hence increasing the threat to human life from the toxic gases, flames and heat.
