What is flame retardant test methods

Application:
The horizontal and vertical needle flame tester UL94 is mainly used to determine the combustion performance of plastic, rubber or film under a specified fire source to determine its fire resistance level. It is not only suitable for the research, production and quality inspection departments of electrical and electronic plastic or rubber products and their components such as lighting equipment, low-voltage electrical appliances, household appliances, motors, tools, meters and other equipment, and electrical connectors, but also for insulation materials and engineering Plastics, fire-proof sealing materials type approval or other solid combustible materials industry.

Standard:
LISUN Needle Flame Tester according to UL94, ISO 1210, GB/T2408-2008/IEC60695-11-10:1999, GB/T 5169.16-2008/IEC 60695-11-10 :2003/ASTM D635 , GB/T 8332-2008/ISO 9772-2001/ASTM D4986, ASTM D4804 /ISO 9773,GB/T 5169.17-2008/IEC 60695-11-20 :2003/ASTM D 5048 IEC 60695-11-3 and IEC 60695-11-4.

UL94 flame retardant test methods
In the case of horizontal needle flame test HB classification, the sample size is required to be 125mm in length, 13mm in width, and no more than 13mm in thickness. The sample is placed horizontally, the sample clamp is clamped to one end of the sample, and the ignition device is at a 45 degree angle to keep the flame position unchanged. Apply 30±1S to the other end of the sample holder, and place a metal mesh and a freely movable fixed frame horizontally under the sample holder, so that when the sample burns, the free end and the metal mesh are kept 10mm. The test layout is shown in Figure 1.

In order to avoid fire, it is necessary to test and evaluate the products in many aspects, such as the LED spacing, the structure and materials of the diffuser, the type and installation position of the housing, and the working method, etc. Although we used Class2 power supplies to limit the energy of the product to avoid or reduce fires when designing the product, according to UL’s past experience, this type of product may still reach a high temperature above 90°C (US National Building Code). It is stipulated that the temperature of equipment installed on the surface of ordinary combustible materials shall not exceed 90℃). Therefore, when designing LED lighting products, this aspect should be considered, and temperature testing is required (the surface temperature of each component in the lighting should be within its own rated temperature range).
