ASTM F1494 (Standard Guide for the Evaluation of Flammability)

ASTM F1494 is a standard guideline used to evaluate how easily a material or product can catch fire and how it behaves when exposed to flames or heat. It provides methods for testing and assessing flammability to ensure safety in various industries, such as textiles, plastics, and electronics. The guide helps manufacturers understand the fire risks of their materials and improve safety, preventing fires and protecting users. It does not specify strict fire safety limits but offers a consistent approach for measuring and comparing material flammability performance.
