Features: This book comprehensively introduces the main material flammability testing methods and standards issued and currently adopted by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the European Union (EU), the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), China, the United States, Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Russia, Japan, and Australia. It covers six major categories: ignitability and combustibility of materials, flame spread rate, heat release, smoke generation, thermal decomposition, and the corrosive and toxic effects of combustion gaseous products. Each method is described in detail, including its standard number, equipment, specimens, test procedures, evaluation criteria, and application scope. Additionally, the book provides a detailed review and analysis of the development, characteristics, and internationalization process of material flammability testing methods. At the end of each chapter and in the appendices at the end of the book, numerous experimental data on the flammability performance of polymer materials in the six aforementioned aspects are collected, making it highly valuable for reference. The book is rich in content and well-documented, making it a valuable resource for professionals engaged in material research, teaching, production, and application, particularly those involved in material flammability testing and the development of material flammability standards.
