5VA (Surface Burn): burning stops within 60 seconds on a vertical specimen; no drips allowed; plaque specimens may not have a burn-through (no hole). Tests are generally conducted on a 5 × in (127 × 12.7 mm) specimen of the minimum approved thickness.

UL 94 also describes a method in which the test flame is applied for up to five applications in testing for a 5VA or 5VB classification. These small-scale tests measure the propensity of a material to extinguish or spread flames once it becomes ignited.

For any material to achieve 5V classification, the test specimens must not burn with flaming and/or glowing combustion for more than 60 seconds after the fifth flame. Also, the test specimens must not drip.

3. 5V Ratings (5VA, 5VB) – The Highest Flame Resistance. The UL 94 5V classification is for materials subjected to a more intense flame exposure than standard vertical tests. These materials are often used in high-risk environments such as …

Jan 8, 2007 · flammability rating of UL94 V-0 and UL94-5V. All certification testing is performed by Underwriters Laboratory Inc. (UL) The Standard used is UL 94: Test for Flammability of Plastic Materials for Parts in Devices and Appliances. This is the most widely accepted flammability performance standard for plastic materials.

RTP Company offers support for UL94 5VA & 5VB Flammability Standard ratings, material selection, and plastic processing that can aid in certification from Underwriters Laboratories.

Materials classified into 5VA or 5VB are subjected to a repeat flame ignition source that is more severe than what is used in the HB, V-2, V-1, and V-0 tests. The 5VA and 5 VB specimens are not allowed to drip flaming particles during testing. 5VA is …

UL 94, the Standard for Safety of Flammability of Plastic Materials for Parts in Devices and Appliances testing, is a plastics flammability standard released by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) of the United States. The standard determines the material’s tendency to either extinguish or spread the flame once the specimen has been ignited.

Mar 1, 2019 · UL 94 is a plastics flammability standard released by the Underwriters Laboratories (USA). The standard classifies plastics according to how they burn in various orientations and part thicknesses from the lowest flame-retardant to most flame-retardant in six different classifications.
