Protective clothing — Protection against flame — Method of test for limited flame spread ISO 15025:2016

Publication date:   Nov 28, 2016

Scope

ISO 15025:2016 specifies two procedures (surface ignition and bottom-edge ignition) for determining flame spread properties of vertically oriented flexible materials in the form of single or multicomponent fabrics (coated, quilted, multilayered, sandwich constructions and similar combinations), when subjected to a small defined flame. This test standard does not apply to situations where there is restricted air supply or exposure to large sources of intense heat, for which other test methods are more appropriate.
This test method is not appropriate for materials that demonstrate extensive melting or shrinkage.
