1.1 This standard specifies the test method for determining the flash ignition temperature and autoignition temperature of plastics using the hot air furnace method. It is one of the methods to evaluate the fire performance of plastics. 1.2 This standard does not directly measure the burning value or burning rate of materials, or give the upper limit temperature for safe use of plastics. It cannot be used to independently describe or evaluate the hazards and risks of materials, products or finished products in actual fires. However, test results can be used as one factor among all relevant factors in fire hazard and risk assessment. 1.3 The tests specified in this standard can be used to evaluate the relative fire performance of different materials. The values obtained under this test condition represent the lowest ambient temperature at which the material will catch fire. The results of this test can be used as the basis for classifying the fire sensitivity levels of materials.
