be withdrawn at the latest by December 2003.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

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.

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 double stainless steel U-shaped frame, 15 mm wide and
(5 ± 1) mm thick, with other dimensions as shown in Figure 3. The frame hangs vertically from the
support (see 4.6 and Figure 4) in such a way that the underside of the specimen is exposed directly to
the flame along its centre line and edges (see Figures 5 to 7).
6
---------------------- Page: 7 ----------------------
EN ISO 11925-2:2002 (E)
The two halves of the specimen holder are 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 may be incorporated on the surface of the frame to which
the specimen is attached.
4.6 Support
A vertical stand to which the specimen holder is attached in such a way that it hangs vertically and
exposes its open edge containing the specimen to the burner flame, see Figure 4.
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 respectively.
4.7 Timing device
The timing device shall be capable of recording elapsed time to the nearest second and shall be
accurate to within 1 s in 1 h.
4.8 Template
0 0 0
Two metal plates, one (250 ) mm long and (90 ) mm wide and the other (250 ) mm long and
1 1 1
0
(180 ) mm wide, the larger one being used if the procedure in annex A is followed.

4.9 Flame checking devices
4.9.1 Flame height measuring device
A suitable device that, when located against a fixed point of the burner, indicates a flame height of
20 mm (see Figure 8). The tolerance on the flame height-measuring device shall be ± 0,1 mm.
4.9.2 Burner spacer for edge flame impingement
A removable spacer 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 9).
4.9.3 Burner spacer for surface flame impingement
A removable cone shaped spacer which can be mounted at the burner orifice to check the fixed
distance of 5 mm between the burner edge and specimen's surface (see Figure 9).
4.10 Anemometer
A suitable anemometer with an accuracy of ± 0,1 m/s shall be provided for measuring the airflow
velocity in the upper outlet of the combustion chamber (see 4.2 and Figure 1).

EN ISO 11925-2:2002 (E)
4.11 Filter paper and tray
2
The paper shall be new undyed filter paper with a mass/unit area of 60 g/m with an ash content of
less than 0,1 %.
The tray, 100 mm 50 mm and 10 mm deep, shall be made of aluminium foil. The tray is placed
beneath the specimen holder and is replaced between tests.
5 Test specimen
5.1 Preparation
The test specimen is cut from a sample which is representative of the product to be tested using the
templates specified in 4.8.
5.2 Dimensions
0 0
The dimensions of the test specimens shall be (250 ) mm long by (90 ) mm wide.
1 1
Specimens of normal thickness 60 mm or less shall be tested using their full thickness. Specimens of
normal 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 essentially flat, the specimens may be tested in the form as in end use (e.g.
pipe insulation). The product shall be supplied in its entirety or as specimens of length of 250 mm.
5.4 Number
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 a separate series of specimens on each face.
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 described in 3.2, then more than one test set
shall be conducted to evaluate the product.
5.4.4 If a product is installed with covered edges, but can also be used with unprotected edges,
tests shall be performed on both covered and uncovered specimens.

Where, in end use conditions, products are fixed to substrates, then the test specimen shall represent
the end use conditions. Substrates shall be selected in accordance with EN 13238.
