However, since then there has been a very large increase in the use of products that are considered safe for construction of buildings required to be noncombustible but which are classified as combustible by these simple pass/fail tests. Therefore, Forintek Canada Corp. have developed an approach to define the combustibility of these new materials, based upon their release of heat when tested using the ASTM E1354 cone calorimeter.Read More
