Ignitability of Unprotected and Retardant Protected Samples of Spruce Wood

Abstract:

The paper deals with the protection of the wood and its evaluation in terms of fire. It aims in comparison of ignitability of the unprotected and retardant protected samples of spruce wood, using the testing method defined in the STN EN 11925-2: 2011 (test with single-flame source), where the main evaluation criterion is the ignition and flame spread over the surface of the test samples.
