LAC 55:III.1126. Flammability Test―Plastics Only

A. Where plastic materials are used in an EPD, such materials shall be non-combustible or slow-burning. Such plastic items shall be exposed to a test to determine the flame-propagation rate. The specimen shall be ignited by holding one end of specimen horizontally at the top of a luminous 3/4" Bunsen burner flame in a draft-free room. The rate of propagation of burning, after removing the flame from the specimen, determined by a stop watch shall be 1" or less per 20 seconds. A faster rate of propagation shall be cause for rejection.
