BS EN ISO 13927:2023

This standard BS EN ISO 13927:2023 Plastics. Simple heat release test using a conical radiant heater and a thermopile detector is classified in these ICS categories:

• 83.080.01 Plastics in general

This document specifies a method suitable for the production control or product development purposes for assessing the heat release rate of essentially flat products exposed in the horizontal orientation to controlled levels of radiant heating with an external igniter. The heat release rate is determined by the use of a thermopile instead of the more accurate oxygen consumption techniques. The time to ignition and sustained flaming are also measured in this test. The mass loss of the test specimen can also be measured optionally.
