ASTM E1621

ASTM E1621 is a standardized test method used to assess the surface burning characteristics of building products, such as panels or interior finishes, when exposed to heat and flames. It measures how easily a material ignites, how quickly flames spread across it, and the amount of smoke it produces. This helps determine the fire safety performance of materials, ensuring they meet safety codes and standards to protect occupants and property during a fire. The test provides valuable data for choosing safe building materials and improving fire-resistant designs.
