4.2 Observations No intumescence or deformation of any specimen occurred that affected the required gas input.

No melting or slumping occurred that prevented the material from being exposed to the heating conditions.

Air flow through the apparatus was not restricted by fallen material or by soot accumulation in the chimney.

5 Conclusions

A sample as described in this report, when tested in accordance with BS 476: Part 6: 1989 + A1: 2009, achieved: fire propagation index I = 4.2 sub-indices i1 = 2.6

i2 = 1.0

i3 = 0.6

BS 476: Part 6: 1989 + A1: 2009 does not contain acceptance criteria and therefore this test report does not indicate a pass or fail of the product.

6 Validity

The test results relate only to behaviour of the test specimens of the product under the particular conditions of test, they are not intended to be the sole criteria for assessing the potential fire hazard of the product in use.
