Plastics - Simple heat release test using a conical radiant heater and a thermopile detector (ISO 13927:2015); German version EN ISO 13927:2015
Kunststoffe - Einfache Prüfung der Wärmefreisetzung unter Anwendung eines kegelförmigen Strahlungsheizkörpers und einer Thermosäule als Detektor (ISO 13927:2015); Deutsche Fassung EN ISO 13927:2015
Overview
This International Standard 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 (sustained flaming) is also measured in this test. Test specimen mass loss can also be measured optionally. The standard (EN ISO 13927:2015) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 249 "Plastics", the secretariat of which is held by NBN (Belgium). The responsible German body is Working Committee NA 054-01-05 AA "Brandverhalten" ("Burning behaviour") at DIN Standards Committee Plastics (FNK).
