This document specifies small-scale laboratory test procedures intended to compare the burning behaviour of different materials used in plastic and non-metallic materials when vertically or horizontally oriented test bar specimens are exposed to a small flame ignition source with a nominal thermal power of 50 W. These test methods determine either the linear burning rate or the self-extinguishing properties of materials.
