Test Details
Introduction Exova Warringtonfire
was commissioned to carry out an area based smoke
and toxicity test in accordance with the method recommended in BS EN 45545-
2:2013+A1:2015
. This standard recommends that the test is carried out using
the apparatus and procedures detailed in ISO 5659-2: 2012
. The standard
provides equations which should be calculated in relation to the smoke density.
The test was performed in accordance with the procedures specified in EN
45545 and EN ISO 5659-
2 and this report should be read in conjunction with
these and other related standards.
Test method The principle of the test method
referenced “T10.03” is to expose a material to
specified thermal conditions of pyrolysis and combustion in a continuous
procedure.
Specimens were tested in the flaming mode in a horizontal position by exposure
to the heating arrangement specified in ISO 5659-2. The heat flux was 25kW/m
2
.
The change in optical density of the smoke produced when dispersed within a
fixed volume of air is recorded throughout the period of test utilisi
ng the
Concept software
in order to determine information relating to the smoke
density.
The test method provides a means for the comparative assessment of
products, however, it does not model a real fire situation and the results cannot
therefore be used
to describe the fire hazard of materials under actual fire
conditions.
Fire test study
group/EGOLF
Certain aspects of some fire test specifications are open to different
interpretations. The Fire Test Study Group and EGOLF have identified a
number of
such areas and have agreed Resolutions which define common
agreement of interpretations between fire test laboratories which are members
of the Groups. Where such Resolutions are applicable to this test they have
been followed.
Instruction to test The test was conducted on the 26
th
& 27
th
May 2016 at the request of the
original sponsor of the test.
Provision of test
specimens
The specimens were supplied by the original sponsor of the test. Exova
Warringtonfire was not involved in any selection or sampling procedure.
Test face
One of two identical faces of the
specimen was exposed to the heating
conditions.
Conditioning of
specimens
The specimens were received on the 9
th
May 2016.
The specimens were conditione
d at temperatures of 23 ± 2°C and a relative
humidity of 50 ± 5% RH, for a minimum period of 24 hours prior to testing.
