Subject: [PSES] Flame retardancy GB/T 8624-2012

Greetings all,

I am attempting to determine equivalency of a flame retardancy rating of B3 in 
GB/T 8624-2012 to the Flame Spread Indices of ASTM E84.  In particular, I 
really don't know if "B3" is good bad or otherwise.  Interestingly, the old 
idea of flammable vs inflammable has come up and is used in contrast to the 
terms combustible vs incombustible. And now my head is beginning to ache.

I really don't have a desire to purchase a chinese standard and read it 
completely through just to answer this question. Does anyone know of a resource 
that can help me cross reference flammability classifications of these two 
standards?



Thanks, Doug
