- Abstract
- This new 2-volume set provides 246 ASTM standards, 7 California Technical Bulletins, 8 CFRs, and 8 FM Global Fire Test Methods, all of which play a vital role in many aspects of fire and fire-related properties. They include test methods, practices, specifications and guides that are used to analyze and assess fire performance of materials, products, and systems within their relevant environment. The fire test methods measure and describe the response of materials, products, and systems to sources of heat or flame under controlled conditions. These standards cover the fire properties (including ignition, burning rate, flame spread, heat and smoke release) of a wide range of materials, including construction materials, furniture, electrical and optical fiber cables, apparel and textiles, plastics petroleum products, paints, and much more!
