The UL94 Standard

The UL94 standard is a classification standard for plastic materials based on their behavior against flame, established by Underwriters Laboratories (UL). It is commonly used to evaluate the flammability resistance of materials under specific conditions.

This standard is essential in sectors such as electronics, automotive, and industry, where fire safety is paramount.

Main Classifications

UL94 tests aim to evaluate the combustion speed, the material's ability to extinguish, and whether flaming droplets fall. Here are the most common classifications:

Vertical Test Ratings

V-0:

• The flame extinguishes in less than 10 seconds after the ignition source is removed.
• No flaming droplets.

V-1:

• The flame extinguishes in less than 30 seconds after the ignition source is removed.
• No flaming droplets.

V-2:

• The flame extinguishes in less than 30 seconds.
• Flaming droplets allowed.

Horizontal Test Ratings

HB (Horizontal Burning):

• The material burns slowly, but at a controlled rate. This is the minimum rating.

Other Classifications 5VA and 5VB:

These classifications are stricter than V-0.

5VA:

• No hole is formed in the sample after the test.

5VB:

• Holes may form, but the flame extinguishes quickly.
• HF-1, HF-2 (for foams):
• Evaluate flexible polymer foams.

Test Method

Material samples are exposed to a flame for a certain time, then observed for:

• The time required for extinction.
• The production of flaming droplets.
• The spread of the flame.

Importance The UL94 classification helps manufacturers choose materials suitable for fire safety requirements for specific applications. It is often used in conjunction with other standards, such as those from IEC or ISO, to ensure increased safety in final products.
