SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM D5485
1. Scope
1.1 This fire-test-response standard measures the corrosive effect by loss of metal from the combustion products of materials, components, or products.
1.2 This test method provides corrosion results of product and material specimens limited to a maximum size of 100 by 100 mm in area and 50 mm thick.
1.3 The results of this test method have not been investigated with respect to correlation to actual fires.
1.4 This standard measures and describes the response of materials, products, or assemblies to heat and flame under controlled conditions, but does not by itself incorporate all factors required for fire hazard or fire risk assessment of the materials, products, or assemblies under actual fire conditions.
1.4.1 Additional information regarding the targets, the test conditions, and test limitations are provided in the annex.
1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. For specific hazard statements, see Section 7.
1.6 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard. (See IEEE/ASTM SI-10 )
