ISO 6940 Vertical multifunctional combustion instrument For fabric
Product Introduce
The ISO 6940 vertical flammability tester assesses textile fabrics'
flame resistance and spread under controlled conditions. Compliant
with ISO 6940, EN 1103, and ASTM D4151 standards, it ensures
reliable evaluation for apparel, home textiles, and industrial
materials. Essential for global safety certifications, this
equipment delivers precise data to meet fire regulations and
enhance product reliability.
Standard
1. International Standards
1. ISO 6940:2004
- Core standard for determining the flammability of vertical
textile fabric specimens and evaluating the burning behavior of
materials by simulating flame contact.
2. ISO 6941:2003
- Supplements ISO 6940 and specifically evaluates the flame spread
performance of vertical specimens.
3. ISO 10047:1993
- Used to determine the surface burning time of fabrics, often used
in combination with vertical burning tests.
2. European Standards
