METHOD OF TEST (Cont’d)

1.2 Generation of Pyrolysis and Combustion Gases

Approximately 0.5 g of the sample was then used for the test in a stream of air at the air flow
rate of 120L/hr at 600oC for 20minutes in a tube furnace. A further 20minutes was used to
air-flush the apparatus once residue sample was removed from tube furnace.

Toxic fumes collected during the burning were analysed by the following methods:
a) Carbon Monoxide and Carbon Dioxide : Directly determined by Horiba Automotive Emission
Analyzer
b) Hydrogen Cyanide : By Pyridine – Pyrazalone Method
c) Others ions : By Ion Chromatography

RESULTS (Cont’d)

1. The above results from the analysis of the toxic fumes generated from the specimen were found to
be below the IDLH Value of listed gases.

2. The weighted summation index, R, is less than 0.3.

Remarks
The weighted summation index R for the sample tested was found to be within the requirement of 1.0
max when tested and assessed according to NF X 70-100 with R calculated in accordance with Annex
B of BS 6853:1999.
