This International Standard specifies conditions for a flame retardation test for conveyor belts, and the corresponding requirements.
NOTE- To increase safety, it is important for tests to take into ac- count, as far as possible, the circumstances which may create hazards. It is for this reason that, in this International Standard, provision is made for performing the test on test pieces without covers, as covers of belts may be ripped off accidentally in service.
In many countries, specifications of flame retardation of conveyor belts and the corresponding methods of test are the subject of legislation. However, it has been thought necessary to prepare an International Standard in order to give a reference if there is no particular legislation.
It is stressed that for small-scale laboratory tests of the type covered in this International Standard, the correlation of test results with the flammability under other conditions is not in any case implied. For this reason, the relevant conditions of belt use shall be taken into account in order not to obtain a false sense of security by uncritical application of this International Standard.
