Essais Relatifs Aux Risques Du Feu Partie 7-50: Toxicité De L?Effluent Du Feu Estimation De La Puissance Toxique Appareillage Et Méthode D?Essai (Edition 1.0)
This technical specification describes a test method for the generation of fire effluent and the identification and measurement of its constituent combustion products. It uses a moving test specimen and a tube furnace at different temperatures and air flow rates as the fire model. This test method is designed to reproduce certain decomposition conditions in a range of fire types characterized in ISO/TR 9122-1. Stage 1b Non-flaming decomposition (oxidative) Stage 2 Developing fire (flaming) Stage 3a Fully developed fire (flaming)@ relatively low ventilation The method described in this technical specification is designed to model closely all three of these major fire stages@ and also has the potential to model others as necessary. In this test@ the measurement of fire effluent is made using material test specimens@ which may be taken from end-products@ or@ if the apparatus and method allow@ may be an end-product. Toxic potency values are only of use in toxic hazard estimations@ and must not be used in isolation. One of the responsibilities of a technical committee is@ wherever applicable@ to make use of basic safety publications in the preparation of its publications.
