BS EN ISO 5659-2:2017 specifies a method of measuring smoke production from the exposed surface of
specimens of materials or composites. It is applicable to specimens that have an essentially flat surface
and do not exceed 25 mm in thickness when placed in a horizontal orientation and subjected to specified
levels of thermal irradiance in a closed cabinet with or without the application of a pilot flame. This
method of test is applicable to all plastics.
It is intended that the values of optical density determined by this test be taken as specific to the
specimen or assembly material in the form and thickness tested and are not to be considered inherent,
fundamental properties.
The test is intended primarily for use in research and development and fire safety engineering in
buildings, trains, ships, etc. and not as a basis for ratings for building codes or other purposes. No basis
is provided for predicting the density of smoke that can be generated by the materials upon exposure
to heat and flame under other (actual) exposure conditions. This test procedure excludes the effect of
irritants on the eye.
NOTE This test procedure addresses the loss of visibility due to smoke density, which generally is not related
to irritancy potency (see Annex E).
It is emphasized that smoke production from a material varies according to the irradiance level to
which the specimen is exposed. The results yielded from the method specified in this document are
based on exposure to the specific irradiance levels of 25 kW/m2 and 50 kW/m2.
