What is BS 476-12 - Ignitability of products by direct flame impingement about?
BS 476-12 is the 12th part of the multiple series that describes a method of test for the determination of the ignitability of materials, composites, and assemblies subjected to direct impingement of flames of different sizes and intensities but without impressing irradiance.
Note: The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.
Who is BS 476-12 - Ignitability of products by direct flame impingement for?
BS 476-12 on ignitability of products by direct flame impingement is useful for:
- Construction industries
- Civil engineers
- Contractors
- Builders
- Testing laboratories for flame impingement
Why should you use BS 476-12 - Ignitability of products by direct flame impingement?
Flaming debris is matter flowing or separating from the specimen during the test procedure and falling below the initial lower edge of the specimen and continuing to flame as it falls
BS 476-12 specifies flames of different sizes and intensities and their ignition behavior. The flame is applied to the surface and/or the bottom edge of different specimens.
Overall, BS 476-12 helps you to provide adequate protection to personnel against the risk of fire and inhalation of smoke and/or toxic products of combustion
