BS 2782, Method 140E [49], In this test, the test piece of prescribed dimensions is supported on a simple brass and wire frame so that its major plane is at 45 to the horizontal. The flame from burning a specified amount of alcohol is allowed to impinge on the center of the sheet, and the result is expressed in terms of the amount of charring of the surface of the test piece and the duration of flaming or glowing see Fig. 12.
