1 Scope
This standard specifies the class, test device and test methods of toxic assessment of fire effluents hazard for materials.
This standard is applicable to the toxic classification of generating stably smoke from a material, and is inapplicable to the toxic classification of generating unsteadily smoke from a material.

3 Terms and Definitions
The following terms and definitions are applicable to this standard.
3.1
Generating stably smoke from a material
It refers to the smoke generation process with stable mass number of smoke generation material for each moment and constant relative scale of smoke product.
3.2
Concentration of the specimen mass for smoke
It refers to a kind of parameter reflecting the relation of fire hazard scene fire effluent of material and material mass, namely the mass number of smoke generation material in unit space, mg/L.
3.3
Yield of smoke from material
It refers to the percentage of material mass entering into space during smoke generation process relative to total mass of material. It is a kind of parameter reflecting thermal decomposition or combustion degree of material.
3.4
Sufficient yield of smoke
It refers to the maximum or approximately maximum yield of smoke for material.
3.5
Flow of fire effluents
It is a kind of parameter describing the flowing property of fire effluent, namely flow volume of fire effluent in unit time, L/min.
3.6
Rate of generating smoke from a material
It refers to the mass number of material for thermal decomposition and combustion in unit time, mg/min.
3.7
Inhalation exposure
It refers to a kind of harm process mainly caused through respiration mode for human or animal in polluted ambience environment, also including partial sense toxicant contact.
3.8
Acute inhalation exposure
It refers to a kind of inhalation exposure with relatively short exposure time (generally within 30min).
3.9
End point
It refers that the laboratory animal appears such physiological reaction point as escape capability losing or death.
