IS 11239 : Part 8 : 2024 Rigid Cellular Thermal Insulation Materials - Methods of Test - Part 8 Flame Height, Time of Burning and Loss of Mass

ICS 27.220, 91.120.10

CHD 27

1 SCOPE

1.1 This standard prescribes a small-scale laboratory screening method for comparing relative extent and time of burning and loss of mass of rigid cellular thermal insulation materials. This test procedure should only be used to determine relative burning characteristics.

1.2 In the course of burning fumes, vapours, or both, are produced that could be dangerous to workers. The operator must be protected with appropriate measures.

1.3 This standard does not claim to resolve all of the safety issues, if any, connected to its use. The user of this standard is accountable for establishing suitable safety, health, and environmental practices and determining whether any regulatory restrictions apply prior to use.
