- Abstract
- Information provided in this addendum refers to the "Trade Names" and manufacturers or suppliers of materials whose flammability and smoke generating properties have been evaluated in accordance with (a) ASTM D-2863, "Standard Method of Test for Flammability of Plastics Using the Oxygen Index Method", using the General Electric Flammability Index Tester, and (b) ASTM D-2843, "Standard Method for Measuring the Density of Smoke from the Burning or Decomposition of Plastics", using the Rohm and Haas XP2 Smoke Density Chamber. The results of the above tests are described in DSL Reports 560 and 561. The information listed in this addendum is designated "Commercial-in-Cinfidence" and should be treated accordingly.
