ISO 9239-1:2010
Scope
This part of ISO 9239 specifies a method for assessing the wind-opposed burning behaviour and spread of
flame of horizontally mounted floorings exposed to a heat flux radiant gradient in a test chamber, when ignited
with pilot flames. Annex A gives details of assessing the smoke development, when required.
This method is applicable to all types of flooring, e.g. textile carpet, cork, wood, rubber and plastics coverings
as well as coatings. Results obtained by this method reflect the performance of the flooring, including any
substrate if used. Modifications of the backing, bonding to a substrate, underlay or other changes of the
flooring may affect test results.
This part of ISO 9239 is applicable to the measurement and description of the properties of floorings in
response to heat and flame under controlled laboratory conditions. It should not be used alone to describe or
appraise the fire hazard or fire risk of floorings under actual fire conditions.
