1 Objective

The requirement of the work was to assess the performance of the sample described in Section 2 of this
report when subjected to the tests specified in BS EN ISO 11925-2: 20021.

2 Sample

2.1 Traceability
The test sample was supplied by Dr Martyn Webb of BRE Ltd. The samples were prepared by the test
sponsor at BRE Ltd., Watford under the supervision of a representative of BRE Ltd. BRE Global was not
involved in the sampling process and therefore cannot comment upon the relationship between the
samples supplied for test and the product supplied to market.

4.2 Observations
None.

5 Conclusions

A surface exposure test was conducted on the blue face of the sample using a flame application time of 30
seconds:

− None of the specimens ignited.

− The flame tips did not reach 150 mm above the flame application point.

− There were no occurrences of ignition of the filter paper.

6 Validity

These test results relate to the behaviour of the sample in the form in which it was tested; the results do not
necessarily relate to products produced as a result of further processing or refinement of the sample under
test.

The test results relate to the behaviour of the test specimens of a product under the particular conditions of
the test; they are not intended to be the sole criterion for assessing the potential fire hazard of the product
in use.

The specification and interpretation of fire test methods are the subject of ongoing development and
refinement. Changes in associated legislation may also occur. For these reasons, it is recommended that
the relevance of test and classification reports over five years old should be considered by the user. The
laboratory that issued the report will be able to offer, on behalf of the legal owner, a review of the
procedures adopted for a particular test or classification to ensure that they are consistent with current
practices, and if required may endorse the report.
