<p>This Technical Report provides guidance on "ignitability" tests for building products. It describes the principles of ignitability and characterizes different ignition sources.</p>
<p>The results of small-scale ignitability tests may be used as a component of a total hazard analysis of a specified fire scenario. It is therefore important that the flame or radiative source chosen is fully characterized so that relevant conclusions may be made from the test results.</p>
<p>Guidance given in this Technical Report may also have relevance to other application areas (e.g. building contents, plastics, etc.)</p>
