NF F 16-101/NF X 10-702: Smoke density

NF F 16-101/NF X 10-702: Smoke density

1．Standard -- NF X 10-702

NF X 10-702: Fire test methods-Smoke emission-Test of measurement of specific optical density of smoke by the combustion or the pyrolysis of solid materials.

The smoke density measurement taken from a material under fire conditions gives an indication of the visibility through the smoke, this is important as reduced visibility makes it more difficult to escape from a fire hence increasing the threat to human life from the toxic gases, flames and heat.

one specimen is tested in the flaming mode (25kW/m2 radiant heat with a pilot flame) and one specimen is tested in the non-flaming mode (25kW/m2 radiant heat without a pilot flame).

Two values are determined from the test results:

       • ‘Ds max’ –Maximum smoke density measured during the test 

       • ‘VOS₄’ – A measure of the rate at which the smoke developed during the tested

2. NF X 10-702 for assessing F classification (smoke density and toxicity)

According to NF X 70-100 and NF X 10-702 results of two tests to assess the toxicity of F-class level of F0-F5 smoke six levels (F0, F1, F2, F3, F4, F5)

3．NF X 10-702 test methods

NF X 10-702: Fire test methods-Smoke emission-Test of measurement of specific optical density of smoke by the combustion or the pyrolysis of solid materials.

NF X 70-100: Fire behaviour tests –Analysis of pyrolysis and combustion gases-Pipe still method.
