Test methods and standards for flame retardancy
All flame retardancy testing methods are described in the relevant standards. Testers should select the appropriate regulatory standards for testing according to the type of test items and the requirements of the place of export. If both the purchaser and the local government have requirements, the test will be carried out according to high standards.
