Sample Information: Sample Description: Polyester/Spandex Inherent Flame Retardant Knitted Fabric (Black) Test Standard: The test was conducted according to DIN 4102-1:1998 Fire Behavior of Building Materials and Elements, Part 1: Classification of Building Materials Requirements and Testing. Test Results: DIN 4102-1:1998 B1 Requirement: Test Method: The test was performed using the ‘Brandschacht’ apparatus specified in DIN 4102-16. Sample Size: 190mm x 1000mm Parameters: Parameter Test Result Requirement Minimum remaining length of burning 51 cm ≥ 0 cm Average remaining length of burning 56 cm ≥ 1 cm Maximum average flue gas temperature 133°C ≤ 200°C DIN 53438: Small Flame Ignition Test: Sample Details: Edge Ignition: 5 pieces, 90mm x 190mm Surface Ignition: 5 pieces, 90mm x 230mm Conditioning: Temperature: 23 ± 2°C Relative Humidity: 50 ± 5% Duration: 24 hours Test Results: Ignition Type Sample No. Flaming Reached Gauge Mark within 20 Seconds (Yes/No) Edge Ignition 1 No 2 No 3 No 4 No 5 No Surface Ignition 1 No 2 No 3 No 4 No 5 No Conclusion: The tested sample meets the DIN 4102-1 B1 requirement for fire behavior of building materials, which classifies it as flame retardant. The sample successfully passed both the DIN 4102-16 test using the ‘Brandschacht’ apparatus and the DIN 53438 small flame ignition test.
