Description

The results from ignition tests conducted using the Lateral Ignition and Flame spread Test (LIFT) apparatus, Reduced scale Ignition and Flame spread Test (RIFT) apparatus, and ISO 5657 ignitability apparatus from nine different types of New Zealand wood-based products are used to obtain the critical ignition heat flux and thermal inertia using the procedure specified in ASTM E 1321-97a.
