Fire Specifications
The EN-standard is based on a test for the actual materials response to fire, smoke development and droplets while burning. EN‐classification Standards:

Fire behaviour | Class A1 | (highest level) |
Class A2 | (not burnable materials) | |
Class B | (inflammable materials) | |
Class C | (normal flammable materials) | |
Class D | (normal flammable materials) | |
Class E | (normal flammable materials) | |
Class F | (not classified materials) | |
Smoke development | Class S1 | (Very limited smoke development) |
Class S2 | (Limited smoke development) | |
Class S3 | (no demands on smoke development) | |
Burning droplets | Class d0 | (No burning droplets or particles) |
Class d1 | (limited burning droplets) | |
Class d2 | (no demands on burning droplets) |

B-s1, d0
Euro Air Textile Materials (HDC and DFC-line) are certified and approved.
