ISO 1182  (ASTM E136 Method B) Non-Combustibility Testing

ISO 1182  (ASTM E136 Method B) Non-Combustibility Testing Method

Building materials for construction, engineering, and manufacturing applications must meet certain standards in order for businesses to stay in compliance with regulations. ISO 1182 (ASTM E136 Method B) is a dependable method of determining non-combustibility. 

The ISO 1182 (ASTM E136 Method B) test provides valuable information and insights into a product’s response to a high-temperature source. This is one of several fire safety inspections that we provide for high-demand industries, and our team has extensive experience working in laboratories to calculate non-combustibility and flame risk. We have been performing inspections for flammability, chemicals, weathering, and corrosion.

The ISO 1182 Non-Combustibility Test (ASTM E136 Method B) is intended to inspect a wide range of building products, including insulation, non-combustible materials, and other homogeneous components. While these products are frequently protected from the hazards of high-temperature combustion, the purpose of the ISO 1182 (ASTM E136 Method B) test is to determine the classification of these materials under European non-combustibility standards. The IMO also requires this test for commercial marine applications.

When a building material is exposed to 750^oC, an ISO 1182 (ASTM E136 Method B) testing expert can determine whether the product is classified as A1 or A2. A1 products are completely non-combustible, whereas A2 building products have a low combustibility.

To conduct the test, one of our professionals places the product test specimen in a 750°C furnace. The professional then determines the level of non-combustibility by measuring potential combustion and flame duration after exposure. The rise in temperature, duration of flames, and product loss all indicate that the material is non-combustible.

If you’re working with a combustible product, you must be able to classify it as such. It is critical to ensure workplace safety and keep building materials up to fire code standards. That is why Infinitalab collaborates with industry leaders to ensure that their materials are appropriate for their intended work environments.

We perform carefully conditioned inspections in our facility to test flammability and non-combustibility for high-demand products. Our services are applicable to a wide range of industries. We can provide the necessary experience and skill if you require assistance from professionals who understand the complexities of fire safety codes.
