Flooring Radiant Panel


EN ISO 9239: Reaction to fire tests for building products – Horizontal surface spread of flame for floor coverings


ASTM E 648: Standard test method for critical radiant flux of floor-covering systems using a radiant heat energy source


ASTM E 970: Standard test method for critical radiant flux of exposed attic floor insulation using a radiant heat energy source


NFPA 253: Standard method of test for critical radiant flux of floor covering systems using a radiant heat energy source


Reaction to fire test requirements for flooring products


The European Construction Products Directive requires that all European Member states use this test method as part of the requirements needed to evaluate reaction to fire performance for all flooring products.This test method will eventually take precedence over national regulatory methods to classify most flooring products and will be required by all suppliers of flooring materials into the EU and neighbouring states adopting these regulations.The instrument also fulfils the equivalent test requirements of ASTM E 648,ASTM E 970 and NFPA 253 standards in the USA.
