Reaction to fire tests - Ignitability of building products subjected to direct impingement of flame - Part 2: Single-flame source test (ISO 11925-2:2002)
This European Standard specifies a method of test for determining the ignitability of building products by direct small flame impingement under zero impressed irradiance using specimens tested in a vertical orientation.
The products that melt and shrink away from the flame without being ignited may be addressed by the additional procedure given in annex A.
Information on the precision of the test method is given in annex B.
Prüfungen zum Brandverhalten von Bauprodukten - Teil 2: Entzündbarkeit bei direkter Flammeneinwirkung (ISO 11925-2:2002)
Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Prüfverfahren fest, um die Entzündbarkeit von Bauprodukten, die in vertikaler Anordnung geprüft werden, mit Hilfe einer direkt einwirkenden kleinen Flamme ohne zusätzliche Wärmebestrahlung zu ermitteln.
Bauprodukte, die sich der Flamme durch Schmelzen und Schrumpfen entziehen, ohne dabei entzündet zu werden, dürfen dem Zusatzprüfverfahren nach Anhang A unterzogen werden.
Hinweise zur Genauigkeit des Prüfverfahrens sind Anhang B zu entnehmen.
Essais de réaction au feu - Allumabilité des produits de bâtiment soumis à l'incidence directe de la flamme - Partie 2: Essai à l'aide d'une source à flamme unique (ISO 11925-2:2002)
La présente Norme européenne spécifie une méthode d'essai permettant de déterminer l'allumabilité des produits de construction par incidence directe d'une petite flamme sous éclairement énergétique zéro, en utilisant des éprouvettes soumises à l'essai en position verticale.
La présente méthode permet d'évaluer tous les produits correspondants ; les produits qui fondent et se rétractent au contact de la flamme sans s'enflammer sont concernés par le mode opératoire supplémentaire décrit en annexe A.
L'annexe B fournit des informations sur la fidélité de la méthode d'essai.

Foreword
The text of EN ISO 11925-2:2002 has been prepared by CEN /TC 127 “Fire safety in buildings”, the
Secretariat of which is held by BSI, in collaboration with Technical Committee ISO/TC 92 “Fire safety”.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by August 2002, and conflicting national standards shall
be withdrawn at the latest by December 2003.
Annex A is normative. Annex B is informative.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, the Czech
Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta,
Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
Introduction
Safety warning
The attention of all persons concerned with managing and carrying out this test is drawn to the fact
that fire testing may be hazardous and that there is a possibility that toxic and/or harmful smoke and
gases may be evolved during the test. Operational hazards may also arise during the testing of
specimens and the disposal of test residues.
An assessment of all potential hazards and risks to health should be made and safety precautions
should be identified and provided. Written safety instructions should be issued. Appropriate training
should be given to relevant personnel. Laboratory personnel should ensure that they follow written
safety instructions at all times.
Adequate means of extinguishing the specimen should be provided, bearing in mind that some
specimens may produce severe flaming during the test. A hand water spray or compressed nitrogen
which can be directed to the burning area should be available with other means, such as fire
extinguishers etc.
In some cases, smouldering may be difficult to extinguish completely and immersion in water may be
necessary.
1 Scope
This European Standard specifies a method of test for determining the ignitability of building products
by direct small flame impingement under zero impressed irradiance using specimens tested in a
vertical orientation.
The products that melt and shrink away from the flame without being ignited may be addressed by the
additional procedure given in annex A.
Information on the precision of the test method is given in annex B.

publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the
publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any
of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or
revision. For undated references the latest edition of the publication referred to applies (including
amendments).

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this European Standard, the terms and definitions given in EN ISO 13943,
together with the following, apply:
3.1
product
material, element or component about which information is required
3.2
essentially flat product
a product having one of the following characteristics:
a) a planar exposed surface;
b) a planar exposed surface, with a surface irregularity that is evenly distributed over the exposed
surface provided that:
i) at least 50 % of the surface of a representative square area of 250 mm 250 mm lies
within a depth of 6 mm from a plane taken across the highest points on the exposed
surface; or
ii) for a surface containing cracks, fissures or holes which do not exceed 6,5 mm in width
nor 10 m in depth. The total area of such cracks, fissures or holes at the surface does
not exceed 30 % of a representative square area of 250 mm 250 mm of the exposed
surface.
3.3
flaming debris
material separating from the specimen during the fire test procedure and continuing to flame. For the
purposes of this standard, ignition of the filter paper beneath the specimen indicates flaming debris
3.4
sustained flaming
the persistence of flame for a period greater than 3 s
3.5
ignition
the presence of sustained flaming
4 Test apparatus
4.1 Test room
A 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
An enclosure (see Figure 1) constructed from stainless steel sheets, with heat resistant, glazed doors
provided for access and observation in at least the front and one lateral side. 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 (see Figure 1). 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 gap between
the supports at the front of the chamber shall be closed. The air velocity measured in the chimney of
the combustion chamber, as shown in Figure 1, shall be (0,7 ± 0,1) m/s, measured with the pilot
burner only ignited and with the ventilation hood ‘on’.
The combustion chamber shall be situated under a suitably ventilated hood.
4.3 Ignition source
A burner is 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
The fuel shall be commercial propane 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
The specimen holder consists of a do
