Since combustion is subject to many variables, tests for flame retardancy may not predict flame resistance under unusual conditions. Thus a disclaimer stating that flame-retardant tests do not predict performance in an actual fire must accompany all flame-retardant polymeric materials. Flame retardants, like many other organic compounds, may be toxic, or they may produce toxic gases when burned. Thus care must be exercised when using fabrics or other polymers treated with flame retardants.

Apart from some specific areas such as fuel tanks or intumescent coatings, the performance in a fire test simulating a fully developed fire is often not of real interest with respect to the development of fire-retarded polymers, since common flame-retarded polymeric materials are used in applications...
