Hello Greg, The short answer is that these are totally different tests and no direct comparisons can be made.
Good day, Richard I. Pittenger Agency Approval Engineer Food Retail Systems Hobart Ph: 937-332-2621 Fax: 937-332-3204 e-mail: [email protected] From: Greg McClure [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, April 13, 2010 10:21 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [PSES] Vertical flame class vs Radiant Panel Ladies and Gentlemen, Is anyone aware of any work that would allow a comparison to be made between the flame ratings HB, V-2, V-1, V-0 and the Radiant Panel ratings RP50 and RP200. It appears that some HB rated materials are also rated RP 200 and some V-0 rated plastics also have an RP-50 rating. Is there any basis for a generalization or is the test criteria so different that the only real answer is, you have to test it. This is in reference to the North American deviation to IEC 60950-1 in Annex NAE of UL 60950-1, Clause 4.7.3.1, we need to provide guidance on some material choices and the selection of materials with Radiant Panel ratings in the UL IQ™ for Plastics Database is rather limited.
