Brand: BSR

BSR C154 is a standard test method developed by the Burning Behavior and Fire Safety (BSR) committee of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) in the United States. The standard is also known as Test Method for Flame Spread of Building Materials and Assemblies.The BSR C154 standard is designed to test the flammability and flammability resistance of building materials, specifically wall coverings, curtain fabrics, and upholstery fabrics. The tests are conducted to evaluate the materials' ability to spread fire and produce flames when exposed to ignition sources such as open flames or smoldering cigarettes.The BSR C154 standard includes several test procedures, including the Steiner Tunnel Test, which simulates real-life scenarios of building fires in a simplified, laboratory setting to assess materials' flame spread and smoke development performance. The test involves exposing the material to flames at one end of a tunnel, and the rate at which the fire spreads along the material is measured.BSR C154 is an essential standard when it comes to safety and fire retardancy. The test results obtained from these standards are used to ensure compliance with building codes requiring fire-resistant materials in new construction, renovations, and remodels to increase building safety and prevent the spread of fire.
