Flammability Testing

Flammability testing assesses how a material reacts when exposed to fire or heat. It determines if a substance is easily ignited, how quickly it burns, and how it behaves during combustion. This process helps ensure products like textiles, plastics, and home furnishings meet safety standards by minimizing fire risks. Tests may include exposing samples to flame or heat and observing properties such as ignition time, flame spread, and melting or dripping behavior. The results guide manufacturers in improving safety and help regulators establish fire safety regulations for everyday products.
