It is calculated for a test specimen as a function of the burning rate V and taking account of the material thickness.

Pre-treatment:
48 h / 23°C / 50% relative humidity

Stress table

Flame application 20 mm high Tirill burner flame
Flame application time 30 s
If the flame front reaches the first mark within 30 s, flame applicationis discontinued.
