This test method is intended for determination of the specific optical density of smoke generated by electrical wire/cable insulation materials due to pyrolitic decomposition under the influence of radiant heat only or with simultaneous flame application.
It is used for evaluation of insulation materials of electrical wire/cable used in the interiors of aerospace vehicles but may be utilized in other applications as specified in applicable procurement documents.
This standard should be used to measure and describe the properties of products in response to heat and flame under controlled laboratory conditions and should not be used to describe or appraise the fire hazard or fire risk of materials, products, or assemblies under actual fire conditions. However results of this test may be used as elements of a fire risk assessment which takes into account all of the factors which are pertinent to an assessment of the fire hazard of a particular end use.
