2 Fire test procedure

 General

Ignitability for fire-retardant laminate systems for the construction of lifeboats should be determined by ISO 5660-1: "Fire tests - Reaction to fire - Part 1: Rate of heat release from building products (Cone calorimeter method)" , as described in paragraph 3. This test should be conducted for each resin used. In addition, a fire-retardant resin passing the test in paragraph 3 should undergo the test contained in paragraph 4.
