Abstract :
Numerous entities are developing and implementing new testing requirements to measure the flame propagation characteristics of tray cables and the toxic gases generated during combustion of wire and cable. An overview is provided of the organizations developing the tests, the test protocols, their current status, and their potential impact on industrial facilities. The combustion toxicity test procedures are also valid for testing any building material or furnishing.<>
