Richard, I think that is one of the reason that the flame tests require aging
in ovens before UL et al burn them, but I don't know for certain.

Subject: Fire Retardants
If a plastic containing a fire retardant is subjected to high heat (for
example, due to a overheated component) for an extended period of time (many
hours or several days), is it possible that the fire retardant in the
plastic will outgas sufficiently to decrease the flame rating of the plastic
in the heated area?
