the latest by October 2011.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech
Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia,
Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain,

1 Scope
This European Standard defines a test method for determination of the smoke density due to pyrolitic
decomposition of solid materials and composite materials of up to 25 mm in thickness under the influence of
radiant heat only or with simultaneous flame application.
The test results enable a comparison of the smoke production of different materials or material configurations
under the conditions specified in this standard.
NOTE 1 The smoke gas density is determined according to the specific environmental and test conditions defined in EN
2824 and this standard. No studies have been made up to now to determine whether the results can be transferred to
differing conditions, particularly to actual fire conditions.
NOTE 2 The burning behaviour - and consequently the smoke density - of aerospace materials are not only influenced
by the type of material but also to a large extent by the configuration, the specific surface and mass, the combination with
other materials, the means of joining as well as the processing technique.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.

3 Short description of the test method
The specimens are vertically arranged in a closed test chamber according to EN 2824 and subjected to
decomposition by radiant heat only or with flame application. The smoke density is measured by means of the
reduction of light transmission as smoke accumulates and expressed in terms of specific optical density which
is derived from a geometric factor and the measured light obscuration.
4 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN ISO 13943 apply.

Number of this standard

Code letter of test method (see below)
A = indicates that the method is used to test a material in the Flaming mode only.
B = indicates that the method is used to test a material in both the Flaming mode
and the Norm-Flaming mode.
6 Test equipment
Testing shall be carried out in a test chamber according to EN 2824.
7 Specimens
7.1 Number of specimens
According to EN 2824.
7.2 Conditioning
According to EN 2824.
7.3 Dimensions and shape of specimens
According to EN 2824.
7.4 Specimen mounting
According to EN 2824.
8 Procedure
8.1 When performing the test, precautions shall be taken to remove potentially hazardous gases from the
area of operation.
8.2 During the warm-up period, all electric systems (furnace, light source, photometer-readout) shall be
switched on, the exhaust vent and chamber door shall be closed and the inlet vent be open. When the
temperature on the centre surface of the back wall has reached a steady-state value of (35 ± 2) °C, the
chamber is ready for calibrating or testing. To increase the chamber wall surface temperature to the stated
level, an auxiliary heater may be used, but shall be removed prior to performing tests. Conversely, to
decrease this temperature, the exhaust blower may be used to introduce cooler air. The furnace shall be
calibrated at periodic intervals.

8.3 A specimen holder with inserted calcium silicate sheet shall always be located directly in front of the
furnace, except when it is replaced by the specimen holder during a test or the radiometer during calibration. It
shall be returned immediately to this position when testing or calibration is completed to prevent excessive
heating of the opposite wall surface.
8.4 During the daily calibration, the radiometer shall be placed on the horizontal rods of the furnace support
framework and accurately positioned in front of the furnace opening by displacing the "blank" specimen holder
against the prepositioned stop. With the chamber door closed and the inlet vent opened, the compressed air
supply to the radiometer cooler shall be adjusted to maintain the radiometer body temperature at (93 ± 3) °C.
After the system has reached steady-state the furnace transformer shall be adjusted to obtain - as per
2
radiometer calibrating curve - an output signal corresponding to an irradiance of (25,0 ± 0,5) kW/m averaged
over the radiometer receiver area. After the prescribed irradiance level has reached steady-state, the
radiometer shall be removed from the chamber and replaced by the "blank" specimen holder. A suitable
voltmeter or recorder shall indicate the radiometer signal.
The calibration of the radiometer has to be checked regulary because the characteristics may change by use.
The whole system has to be verified finally by testing standardized samples or by co
