建筑材料的阻燃要求根據(jù)其在不同的使用場所有特定的規(guī)范，例如公共場所，高層建筑等場所相應的建材阻燃要求會較高。因此，對建材本身的阻燃性能進行了解和掌握是每個生產(chǎn)商/經(jīng)銷商/消費者都必須具備的技術信息，它能幫助我們在選購/使用建材時提供有效的指導意見。同時，各國/地區(qū)對于建筑的阻燃測試都配套有強制性的標準方法。
歐盟為了更加嚴格的規(guī)范建筑產(chǎn)品CE認證，自2013年7月1日起，歐盟頒布的建筑產(chǎn)品法規(guī)Construction Product Regulation No.305/2011/EU-CPR(簡稱CPR法規(guī))將全面取代原來的建筑產(chǎn)品CE認證指令(Construction product directive 89/106/EEC-CPD(簡稱CPD指令)，進入強制實施階段。其中防火性能是CE認證里面最關注的性能指標之一，對應的測試標準為EN 13501阻燃分級系列標準。
美國的NFPA 101生命安全規(guī)范，該規(guī)范旨在規(guī)定必要建造、保護和居住使用功能，以最大程度減小火災影響對生命造成的危險，包括火災中產(chǎn)生的煙，熱，有毒氣體。引用的測試方法包括ASTM E84，ASTM E 136，ASTM E 119等，對不同類型的建筑場所提出了相應的阻燃要求。
中國的建材使用主要遵照1984年頒布實施的“中華人民共和國消防條例”。在實際應用中，材料的性能要求及應用范圍還應依據(jù)具體的相關法律法規(guī)，如：建筑設計防火規(guī)范(GB 16-87)，高層民用建筑設計防火規(guī)范(GB 50045-95)，建筑內部裝修設計防火規(guī)范(GB 50222-95)等。為了評估建材的阻燃性能，中國國家質量技術監(jiān)督局制定了“建筑材料及制品燃燒性能分級”(GB8624-2006)和(GB8624-20012)標準。該標準對建材的阻燃性能作了明確分類，并詳細表述了建材相應的測試方法及技術參數(shù)是否達到相應的阻燃等級。
建材防火測試產(chǎn)品范圍：
地板，墻板，天花，保溫材料，石膏板，人造石，水泥纖維板，壁紙，木塑，硅酸鈣板，隔音材料，玻璃鋼，竹木制品，建筑涂料，門窗，鋁塑板，蜂窩板，建筑玻璃，裝飾織物，彩鋼板，建筑發(fā)泡材料，膠凝材料和膠粘劑等
防火測試項目：
防火評級，可燃性，難燃性，不燃性，燃燒釋放熱量，著火性，氧指數(shù)，毒性指數(shù)，產(chǎn)煙量，燃燒滴落物，煙密度等。
