Abstract
EU standardization bodies aim to establish a harmonized procedure for the Reaction-to-fire classification system of building materials, valid in all EU countries [1, 4, 5]. This classification is based on test procedures listed in Sects. 4.1 and 4.2. This procedure applies to two categories of products: construction products other than floor coverings (see Table 4.1); floor coverings (see Table 4.2) [10].
