Foreword
This document was drafted in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2020,
Directives for standardization - Part 1.Rules for the structure and drafting of
standardizing documents.
This document replaces GB/T 2408-2008, Plastics - Determination of burning
characteristics - Horizontal and vertical test. Compared with GB/T 2408-2008, the
main technical changes, except editorial changes, are as follows.
a) Modify some contents of Terms and definitions (see Chapter 3; Chapter 3 of the
2008 edition);
b) Modify the arrangement of the chapters of “Test specimen”, “Method A” and
“Method B”, and add relevant information to test specimen dimensions (see
Chapter 7, Chapter 8 and Chapter 9; Chapter 7, Chapter 8 and Chapter 9 of the
2008 edition);
c) Modify the horizontal burning classification (see 8.4; 8.4 of the 2008 edition);
d) Add information on thickness to material classification [see 8.5m) and 9.5l)];
e) Add evaluation criteria for “burned to the holding clamp” (see 9.2.4);
f) Delete the figure of “Burner/operator/test specimen orientation” (Figure 6 of the
2008 edition);
g) Add the figures of “Clearance gauge”, “Flame application”, “Flame application
when there are molten drips”, “HB specimen gauge”, “V specimen gauge
(example)”, “Flame front position not classified as ‘burned to the holding clamp’”
and “Flame front position classified as ‘burned to the holding clamp’” (see Figure
6 ~ Figure 12).
This document uses the redrafting method to modify and adopt IEC 60695-11-10.2013
Fire hazard testing - Part 11-10.Test flames - 50 W horizontal and vertical flame test
methods.
The main technical differences, except editorial changes, between this document and
IEC 60695-11-10.2013, and their reasons are as follows.
a) With regard to the normative references, this document makes technical
adjustments to adapt to the technical conditions of China. The adjustments are
concentrated in Chapter 2 “Normative references”. The specific adjustments are
as follows.
● Use GB/T 5169.22-2015 which is equivalent to the international standard to
replace IEC 60695-11-4.2011 (see 6.2, 8.2.3, 9.2.2 and 9.2.3);
● Use GB/T 5471-2008 which is equivalent to the international standard to
replace ISO 295.2004 (see 7.1);
● Use GB/T 9352-2008 which is equivalent to the international standard to
replace ISO 293.2004 (see 7.1);
● Use GB/T 12006.1-2009 which is equivalent to the international standard to
replace ISO 307.2007 (see 9.4);
● Use GB/T 17037.1-2019 and GB/T 17037.5-2020 which modify and adopt
international standards to replace ISO 294 (all parts) (see 7.1);
● Use GB/T 2918-2018 to replace ISO 291.2008 (see the note of 6.7), and move
it to the references;
● Delete the ISO/IEC guideline 51 and the ISO/IEC guideline 104.
b) Delete the terms of “as received”, “combustion”, “enclosure”, “fire hazard
assessment”, “fire retardant”, “fire risk”, “flame” and “ignition”, because such
nouns are general terms and some of them are indicated with the forms like verb
or noun, which is inconsistent with the requirements for national standards.
c) Modify horizontal burning classification to “The materials shall be classified as
HB or HB below, as well as HB40 or HB75” instead of “The materials shall be
classified HB, HB40 or HB75”, because c in the requirements for HB
classification partly coincides with c in the requirements for HB40 and HB70,
while c in the requirements for HB40 is obviously differentiated from that for
HB70; so, this modification is made to better guide the criteria for classification
(see 8.4).
For convenience of use, this document also makes the following editorial changes.
a) Change the standard name from “Fire hazard testing - Part 11-10.Test flames - 50
W horizontal and vertical flame test methods” to “Plastics - Determination of
burning characteristics - Horizontal and vertical test”.
b) Change “electrotechnical products” in the Scope to “plastic and non-metallic
materials”.
This document was proposed by China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation.
This document shall be under the jurisdiction of National Technical Committee 15 on
Plastic of Standardization Administration of China (SAC/TC 15).

Plastics - Determination of burning characteristics -
Horizontal and vertical test
1 Scope
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.
This document is applicable to solid and cellular materials that have an apparent density
of more than 250 kg/m3, determined in accordance with GB/T 6343-2009.
Two test methods are described in this document. Method A is a horizontal burning test
and is intended to determine the linear burning rate of materials under specific test
conditions. Method B is a vertical burning test and is intended to determine whether
materials self-extinguish under specific test conditions.
Note 1.ISO 9772 describes a test method for the determination of the burning
characteristics to be used for materials with an apparent density of 250 kg/m3
or less.
ISO 9773 describes a test method for the determination of the burning
behaviour to be used for materials that due to their thinness, either distort or
are burned up to the holding clamp using Method B of this document.
Note 2.Guidance on pre-selection is given in IEC 60695-1-30.
