Euroclass rating
Could you explain to me what a Euroclass rating is based on ‘reaction to fire’? Will this system/rating still apply in the UK after Brexit?
Expert Trade Answers
"The Euroclass system determines a product's fire performance by measuring a comprehensive set of characteristics, including ignitability, flame spread, heat release, smoke production and propensity for producing flaming droplets/particles."
