ISO 12468-1:2003 PDF Download

ISO 12468-1:2003 provides a standardized test method for evaluating the performance of roofs with regards to external fire exposure. The aim of this standard is to assess the behavior of roofs when subjected to various fire conditions, including the presence of burning brands, wind, heat radiation, and potential fallouts. The testing focuses on a range of factors such as fire spread across the roof surface, fire spread within the roof, fire penetration, and the production of flaming droplets or debris. By conducting these tests, the standard ensures that roofs are able to withstand and minimize the risks associated with external fire exposure, hence enhancing the safety of buildings.
