ISO 9773 determining the flammability characteristics of non-rigid solid plastics

classification provided: VTM-0, VTM-1 or VTM-2.

ISO 9773 test method describes a small scale laboratory test for determining the comparative burning characteristics of solid plastic materials that due to specimen thickness and non-rigidity distort or shrink when tested under ASTM D 3801 or IEC 60695-11-10.

Specimen:Four sets of 5 specimens with nominal dimensions 200mm x 50mm and in minimum and maximum thickness.

Specimen conditioning:Two sets of 5 specimens per sample were conditioned as follows:

i. First set at 230C and relative humidity 50% for minimum of 48 hours.

ii. Second set in an air circulating oven for 168 hours at 700C and then cooled in a desiccator for minimum of 4 hours.

Gas flow:Set the methane gas flow to 105 ml/min. Adjust the flow and air intakes of the burner to get a clean blue flame 20mm high.

Flame application:20mm Bunsen burner flame.

Flame application time:2 x 3 seconds application. The second flame application time begins as soon as the ignited specimen is extinguished or immediately if the specimen does not ignite.

Measurements:

A –Duration of flaming after first flame application (seconds).

B –Duration of flaming after second flame application (seconds).

C –Duration of glowing after second flame application (seconds).

D –Whether or not specimens burn up to the 125mm mark.

E –Whether or not specimens drip flaming particles which ignite cotton swatch.

Based on the measured values use the following table to classify the material as VTM-0, VTM-1 or VTM-2.
