Description / Abstract:
The purpose of this test method is to determine the ability of
pre-lit artificial seasonal use trees (such as Christmas Trees)
greater than 30 inches (762 mm) in height and less than 12 ft (3.7
m), pre-lit wreaths greater than 48 inches (122 mm) in height and
less than 12 ft (3.7 m), electrically operated or pre-lit statues,
and other seasonal decorative products to resist developing rapid
heat release when subjected to a flaming ignition source.
This test method provides information concerning the
contribution of seasonal decorative products to a developing fire
condition for a scenario representing a single item ignition.
Contributions from additional fuel packages are not developed.
Also, the density of smoke produced and the toxicity of the
products of combustion are not measured.
The test arrangement described may not be applicable to
artificial seasonal use trees or other items in all cases and
alternate set ups may be required depending upon the end use.
