Introduction
This fire test method has been developed to define reaction to fire performance of products. The method
specifies a test for determining the ignitability of products by direct small-flame impingement under zero
impressed irradiance using vertically oriented test specimens.
Although the method is designed to assess ignitability, this is addressed by measuring the spread of a small
flame up the vertical surface of a specimen following application of a small (match-sized) flame to either
the surface or edge of a specimen for either 15 s or 30 s. The determination of the production of flaming
droplets/particles depends on whether the filter paper placed beneath the specimen ignites.

4 Test apparatus
4.1 Test room, capable of providing an environment at (23 ± 5) °C and a relative humidity of (50 ± 20) %.
NOTE It has been found that a partially darkened room assists with the perception of small surface flames.
4.2 Combustion chamber, consisting of an enclosure constructed from stainless steel sheets with heat-
resistant, glazed doors provided for access and observation in at least the front and one lateral side (see
Figure 1). Ventilation of the enclosure shall be free through the square box section base in the bottom of the
chamber. This shall be made of stainless steel of 1,5 mm thickness, 50 mm in height, with the open square
area being 25 mm × 25 mm. To make free ventilation possible, the chamber shall stand on 40 mm high
supports which provide a gap on the lateral sides of the combustion chamber. The air velocity measured
on the central axis in the chimney of the combustion chamber shall be (0,7 ± 0,1) m/s, measured with the
burner only ignited and with the ventilation hood “on”. The combustion chamber shall be situated under a
suitably ventilated hood.
4.3 Ignition source, consisting of burner constructed as shown in Figure 2 and designed so that it can
be used vertically or be tilted at 45° with respect to the vertical axis. The burner shall be mounted onto a
horizontal plate so that it moves smoothly forwards and backwards in a horizontal plane along the centreline
of the combustion chamber.
The burner shall be fitted with a fine adjustment valve to ensure accurate control of the flame height.
4.4 Fuel, consisting of commercial propane of 95 % minimum purity. In order to obtain flame stability
with the burner tilted at 45°, the gas pressure shall be between 10 kPa and 50 kPa.
4.5 Specimen holder, consisting of two stainless steel U-shaped frames. The thickness of the frames shall
be (5 ± 1) mm. The dimensions of the frame shall be as shown in Figure 3. The frame shall hang vertically

oSIST prEN ISO 11925-2:2024
ISO/DIS 11925-2:2024(en)
from the support (see 4.6 and Figure 7) such that the underside of the specimen is exposed directly to the
flame along its centreline and edges (see Figure 8). The two halves of the specimen holder shall be held
together by screws or clamps to prevent the specimen warping.
It is important that the technique of clamping used is capable of restraining the specimen for the total
duration of the test.
NOTE Small pins of approximately 1 mm in length incorporated on the surface of the frame, to which the specimen
is attached, have been found suitable.
For multi-layered products, a typical test frame as shown in Figure 4 shall be used when carrying out the
prescribed additional set of tests on multi-layer test specimens of thickness greater than 10 mm according
to 7.3.3.2.3.
For the mounting and fixing of loose fill material, the following applies.
a) A specimen holder as shown in Figure 5 shall be used.
b) When making the specimens for testing, the surface of the loose fill material specimen shall be as even
as possible.
c) A wire lacing as shown in Figure 6 shall be used to retain the specimen if material falls from the
specimen holder. A wire of 0,2 mm diameter shall be used to form 11 rows vertically in front of the
opening to hold the loose fill material in place. The wire lacing will have the shape of a harp.
d) If the material is a mixture of various grain sizes, the release of smaller particles from the open central
surface does not justify the use of the harp.
e) It is deemed sufficient to carry out the tests with a surface flame attack. Edge flame attack tests are not
necessary.
4.6 Support, consisting of a vertical stand to which the specimen holder is attached such that it hangs
vertically and exposes its open edge containing the specimen to the burner flame (see Figure 7).
The distance between the underside of the specimen and the top of horizontal plate above the metal grid
shall be (125 ± 10) mm for edge flame impingement and (85 ± 10) mm for surface flame impingement.
4.7 Timing device, capable of recording elapsed time to the nearest second and which shall be accurate to
within 5 s in 1 h.
0 0
4.8 Template, consisting of one metal plate 250 mm long and 90 mm wide.

4.9 Flame checking devices
4.9.1 Flame-height measuring device, capable of indicating a flame height of 20 mm (see Figure 9) when
located against a fixed point of the burner. The tolerance on the flame-height measuring device shall be
±0,1 mm.
The flame height shall be measured from the upper edge of the burner to the yellow tip of the flame. The
outer blue halo of the flame may not be considered. This check shall be conducted before testing each
specimen.
4.9.2 Burner spacer for edge flame impingement, removable, 16 mm long, which can be mounted at the
burner orifice to check the distance from the pre-set flame contact point on the specimen (see Figure 10).
4.9.3 Burner spacer for surface flame impingement, removable, cone-shaped, which can be mounted at
the burner orifice to check the fixed distance of 5 mm between the burner edge and specimen surface (see
Figure 11).
oSIST prEN ISO 11925-2:2024
ISO/DIS 11925-2:2024(en)
4.10 Anemometer, thermal anemometer with an accuracy of ±0,1 m/s, for measuring the airflow velocity
in the upper outlet of the combustion chamber (see 4.2 and Figure 1).
4.11 Filter paper and tray. The paper shall be new, undyed filter paper with a mass/unit area of (75 ± 15)
g/m and an ash content of less than 0,1 %. The tray shall be 100 mm × 50 mm and 10 mm deep and made of
aluminium foil. The tray is placed beneath the specimen holder and is replaced between tests.
4.12 Apparatus to allow observation of the reverse face of the specimen. For some materials, it is
sometimes necessary to observe the flame on the reverse face of the specimen as well as the exposed face.
Provision shall therefore be made to enable the operator to view both sides of the specimen at the same
time. One method by which this may be achieved is to place a mirror such that the backside of the specimen
can be monitored. The mirror shall not be placed above the specimen, in order to avoid disturbance of the
airflow. The design and location of the mirror shall be appropriate for the construction of the equipment and
the available ambient lighting. The result observed on the reverse face shall be treated as if it occurred on
the front side.
5 Test specimen
5.1 Preparation
The test specimen shall be cut from a sample which is representative of the product to be tested using the
templates specified in 4.8.
5.2 Dimensions
+2 +2
The dimensions of the test specimens shall be 250 mm long by 90 mm wide.
() ()
−2 −2
Specimens normally having a thickness of 60 mm or less shall be tested using their full thickness. Specimens
normally having a thickness greater than 60 mm shall be reduced to a thickness of 60 mm by cutting away
the unexposed surface. If it is necessary to reduce the specimen size in this manner, the cut surface shall not
be exposed to the flame.
For products which are normally manufactured in sizes less than the test specimen, a test sample of
appropriate size shall be specifically produced for the test.
5.3 Products which are not essentially flat
When the product is not an essentially flat product, the specimens may be tested in the form of their end use
(e.g. pipe insulation). The product shall be supplied in its entirety or as specimens of lengths of 250 mm.
5.4 Number of specimens
5.4.1 For each exposure condition, a minimum of six representative specimens of the product shall be
tested. Three specimens shall be cut lengthwise and three crosswise.
5.4.2 If a product under test is asymmetric through its thickness and in practice either face may be
exposed to a source of ignition; test two specimens on each face to find the critical point of impingement. For
the critical impingement point, a full test series shall be conducted.
5.4.3 Where a product has areas of its surface which are distinctly different, but each of these separate
areas can satisfy the surface characteristics for essentially flat products,
