            (a)         Flame spread time         When tested in accordance with ISO 6941 the flame spread time must be 12 s or greater in the lengthwise direction and the widthwise direction, and no one determination of the time to burn a test specimen must be less than 10 s in either the lengthwise direction or the widthwise direction. These requirements must be met before and after washing in accordance with Appendix D.

                Where there is insufficient length of sample to cut test specimens in one piece, not more than two pieces per specimen, cut in the same direction, may be butt jointed but not overlapped. The butt join must be secured with five light weight staples spaced evenly across the test specimen. The join must not be below the centre of the specimen when attached to the vertical test frame specified in ISO 6941.

                If, after a repeat test, as required by the relevant clause of ISO 6941, three or more specimens fail to burn to the third marker thread in the lengthwise direction, and three or more specimens fail to burn to the third marker thread in the widthwise direction, the material is deemed to have passed the flame spread time test.

                NOTE:         If in any one set of three specimens, one result exceeds the lowest result by 50% for no apparent reason, or, if one or two specimens fail to reach one of the marker threads, another specimen is required to be tested for that direction or face.
