This Standard sets out a test method for the assessment of building materials and components according toû(a) their tendencies to ignite; (b) their tendencies to propagate flame; (c) the heat they release once ignition has occurred; and (d) their tendencies to release smoke.NOTE: A guide to the interpretation of the results of this test, together with a full list of references, is given in Appendix A.
