You must have heard“ruthless”In this sentence, in life, we must do a good job of waterproofing and fireproofing to avoid harm. The flame retardant test is, to a certain extent, a fire test. Next, I will tell you what the flame retardancy test is all about. Introduction to flame retardancy test: The flame retardancy of a material refers to the ability of a material or product to burn with flames under specified test conditions. It includes some characteristics related to whether it is easy to ignite, and whether it can maintain the ability to burn. After years of development, flame retardant testing has formed a variety of standards and has become a very important testing item in the relevant industry. Purpose of the flame retardancy test: By carrying out the combustion test on the samples provided by the customer, and according to the combustion results, the corresponding grades are carried out to assist the customer in the quality control of the product. Flame retardant grade is one of the most important safety performances, and it is essential for many certifications, and it is also a mandatory inspection item required by many countries. Scope of application of flame retardant test: Mainly used in plastics, foamed plastics, films, textiles, coatings, rubber, automotive interior parts, electrical and electronic products, etc. Testing standards: 1. GB/T 2408-2008 Determination of the combustion performance of plastics by horizontal and vertical methods 2. GB/T 5169.16-2008 Fire hazard test for electrical and electronic products Part 16: Test flame 50W Horizontal and vertical flame test methods 3. GB 4943.1-2011 Information Technology Equipment Safety Part 1: General Requirements Flame Retardant Test Procedure: Sampling→preprocessing→Turn on and adjust the fixture height, flame height, gas flow, etc.→Test and record results→Grade according to the standard. Explanation of vertical combustion terms: Afterflame: After the ignition source is removed, the continuous flame of the material under specified conditions. Afterflame time afterflame time (t1 and t2): The duration of afterflame. Afterglow: After the flame is terminated, or when no flame is produced, after the ignition source is removed, under the specified test conditions, the continuous glow of the material. Afterglow time afterglow time (t3): The duration of afterglow.
