Abstract
In order to develop practical test procedures to predict flame spread and ignition characteristics for various materials for the configuration of vertical wall fire, a series of experiments is currently being conducted. This report presents preliminary experimental results obtained for PMMA and particle board. Qualitative comparisons are made with experimental results from some previous investigations on burning vertical surfaces.
