Fire test according to IMO 2010 FTP Code Part 2

IMO 2010 FTP Code Part 2- Smoke and toxicity test.

Purpose

The method is used to evaluate how much smoke is generated when a product is exposed to a particular radiation and flame.

The main area of application is to classify products for used on ships.

Products and materials for maritime use is fire tested according to the International Maritime Organization (IMO) code, IMO 2010 FTP Code. The results from fire testing according to the FTP-code can be used as a basis for type approval (also called the wheel mark).

Type approval is regulated in accordance with European Parliament Directive 2014/90/EU. RISE can perform the fire tests, issue the certificates and perform the production control required in order to gain the wheel mark.

Method

The test is conducted in a sealed chamber. The test sample is placed horizontally and subjected to thermal radiance. When the specimen is subjected to the irradiance it starts to emit smoke which is collected in the chamber. The smokes specific optical density (transparency) is measured with a light source and a photo cell. When doing the toxicity analysis, some of the produced smoke is taken out of the chamber for analysis. Analysis is performed for each of the three irradiance levels and amongst others the following substances can be detected through FTIR analysis: Carbon monoxide, Hydrochloric acid, Hydrogen bromide, Hydrogen fluoride, Hydrogen cyanide, Nitrous oxides and Sulphur dioxide.

Deliveries

After the report, in Swedish or English, is delivered with the test result after testing.

Order
