Flammability Testing

Flammability Testing

Flammability is the ease with which a combustible substance can be ignited, causing fire or combustion or even an explosion.

The degree of difficulty required to cause the combustion of a substance is quantified through fire testing.

Internationally, a variety of test protocols exist to quantify flammability.

Flammability test methods include:

• Hot Wire
• Needle Flame
• Bunsen Burner
• Oven testing methods
