This standard BS EN ISO 10840:2026 - TC Tracked Changes. Plastics. Specifications and guidance for the use of standard fire tests is classified in these ICS categories:

• 13.220.40 Ignitability and burning behaviour of materials and products
• 83.080.01 Plastics in general

This document provides specifications and guidance for the use of standard fire testing for plastics and the products in the following aspects: selection of appropriate tests that reflect realistic end-use conditions; grouping of the reaction-to-fire characteristics that any given test or tests can measure; assessment of tests as to their relevance in areas such as material characterisation, quality control, pre-selection, end-product testing, environmental profiling and design for the environment (DfE); definition of potential problems that can arise when plastics are tested in standard fire tests. This document does not include specification for development or design of new fire-tests for plastics.
