This document specifies the test method for the determination of the horizontal flame propagation of
non-metallic materials when subjected to a small flame in part or in whole.
This test method is also used for testing non-metallic materials which have to meet the test criteria for
the horizontal Bunsen burner test.
It is used for evaluation of non-metallic materials or constructions used in the interiors of aerospace
vehicles but also may be used in other applications as specified in applicable procurement and regulatory
documents.
This standard should be used to measure and describe the properties of non-metallic materials, products
or assemblies in response to heat and flame under controlled laboratory conditions and should not be
used to describe or appraise the fire hazard or fire risk of materials, products, or assemblies under actual
fire conditions. However results of this test may be used as elements of a fire risk assessment which takes
into account all of the factors which are pertinent to an assessment of the fire hazard of a particular end
use.Cross References:ASTM-D 5025All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
