This International Standard specifies conditions for a flame retardation test for conveyor belts, and the corresponding requirements.
NOTES
1 To increase safety, it is important for tests to take into account, 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.
2 It is stressed that for small scale laboratory tests of the type covered in this International Standard, the correlation of the test results with the flammability under other conditions is not in any case implied.
