EN ISO 1716:2018, Reaction to fire tests for products. Determination of the gross heat of combustion (Calorific value)

This method is used to determine the gross heat of combustion (QPCS) of solid products at constant volume in a bomb calorimeter in units J / kg. If the material is non-homogeneous, meaning that it consists of multiple materials, each material must be tested separately. The result from this test is used to classify construction products according to the fire classification standard EN 13501-1.
