Methenamine pill test

This test method provides a procedure for identification of those finished textile floor covering materials that can be rated as flame-resistant under specific controlled laboratory conditions.

This test method does not specify the use of an underlay material. If an underlay material is used to assess the effect of a specific underlay in combination with a specific floor covering, such a variation in procedure must be noted in the report.

In this test, results are observed with the specimens in a horizontal plane. Different results are possible if the same material is tested or used in any other plane. ^[1]
