Defines a framework guide for the development and use of intermediate-scale fire tests for products made of or containing plastics.

This part of ISO15791 provides a framework guide for the development and use of intermediate-scale fire tests for products made of or containing plastics.

The guidance identifies typical applications of plastics products and possible fire scenarios that can arise involving products in these applications. The development and use of intermediate-scale tests is described to ensure their relevance to the end use of the product.
