Ignition Distance Testing (US)
Our ignition distance testing service evaluates the flammability behavior of consumer products in accordance with ASTM D3065 and 16 CFR 1500.45. This testing helps determine whether a product may ignite or propagate flame when exposed to an ignition source under controlled conditions.
Because flammability presents a direct safety risk, U.S. regulations require specific testing for certain chemical products and consumer goods. Therefore, ignition distance testing supports product safety evaluations, compliance decisions, and risk assessments prior to market release.
What Is Ignition Distance and Flame Extension Testing?
ASTM D3065 defines laboratory procedures used to measure flame extension and the distance at which ignition occurs. During testing, a controlled flame source is applied to a sample to observe flame spread and ignition behavior. As a result, manufacturers gain objective data on how a product reacts to open flame exposure.
These requirements align with 16 CFR 1500.45, which governs flammability testing for hazardous substances sold in the United States. Oversight and enforcement are provided by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, which establishes safety expectations for consumer products.
What the Testing Includes
This flammability evaluation includes:
-
Sample preparation and conditioning
-
Controlled flame exposure per ASTM D3065
-
Measurement of flame extension behavior
-
Determination of ignition distance
-
Documentation aligned with 16 CFR 1500.45
-
Clear reporting of results and observations
In addition, results are reviewed for consistency and regulatory relevance before final reports are issued.
Products Commonly Evaluated
Ignition distance and flammability testing is commonly performed on:
-
Consumer products with potential fire risk
-
Chemical formulations and liquid products
-
Solvent-based or flammable materials
-
Products subject to U.S. consumer safety regulations
Because formulation and packaging can affect fire behavior, testing helps manufacturers make informed development and compliance decisions.
