Horizontal Flame Propagation UN/ECE Regulation No. 118 annex 6

The burning rate of horizontally mounted materials designed to be used in vehicles and buses must be tested with the UN/ECE R118 annex 6 test before they can be approved for use. Measurlabs offers this and the other tests as per R118 with accreditation.
