Kahulugan at Layunin
This test method determines the relative flame retardant properties of the coating and the water leaching of the flame retardant material from the coating. Leaching simulates the effects of high humidity, weathering, and washing on the flame retardancy of coatings and is specified in various flame retardant coatings regulations and codes.

Saklaw ng
1.1 This test method quantitatively determines the flame retardant properties of wood surface coatings or coating systems and the leaching effect of water on the flame retardant properties of coatings or coating systems. Partikular na, the test method determines the weight loss and charring index of coated panels subject to flame and the effect of coating leaching on these parameters.
