NFPA-701-1 Curtain Flame Propagation Test Machine
product introduce
The NFPA 701-1 curtain flame propagation test machine evaluates the
fire resistance of textiles and films, such as curtains, drapes,
and tents. Compliant with NFPA 701, ISO 6940, and EN 1103
standards, it measures flame spread, afterflame time, and mass loss
to ensure safety in public spaces, theaters, and outdoor
structures. Essential for global fire safety certifications.
Standard
1. NFPA 701: Standard Methods of Fire Tests for Flame Propagation
of Textiles and Films
Method 1: Applicable to single-layer or tightly combined
multi-layer fabrics (such as curtains, draperies, tablecloths,
etc.), requiring a surface area density of ≤700g/m2, and testing
flame propagation and afterburning time.
Other related standards
1. ISO 6940:2004
International standard for evaluating the flammability of textiles
in the vertical direction, similar to the test principle of NFPA
701 Method 1 (vertical burning, afterburning time).
2. EN 1103:2005
European standard for the combustion performance test of clothing
fabrics, including vertical burning evaluation, suitable for
similar scenarios.
3. BS 5438:1989
British standard for testing the flame retardant properties of the
bottom and edges of textiles, compatible with the vertical burning
test.
4. ASTM D4151
American standard, involving flame retardant testing of carpet
fabrics, some methods can be used in conjunction with NFPA 701.
5. NFPA 255 & NFPA 265
NFPA 255: Test of surface burning characteristics of building
materials, used to evaluate the flame spread of wall decoration
materials.
NFPA 265: Evaluates the contribution of wall fabrics to fire
spread, complementary to NFPA 701.
