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 4 76: Part 6: 1989 + A 1: 2009, achieved:

BS 4 76: Part 6: 1989 + A 1: 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.

The specification and interpretation of fire test methods are the subject of ongoing development and refinement. Changes in associated legislation may also occur. For these reasons it is recommended that the relevance of test reports over 5 years old should be considered by the user. The laboratory that issued the report will be able to offer, on behalf of the legal owner, a review of the procedures adopted for a particular test to ensure that they are consistent with current practices, and if required may endorse the test report.
