Our DO-30 flame extension testing service evaluates how consumer chemical products behave when exposed to an open flame. This testing helps manufacturers understand flammability risk and support Canadian regulatory compliance before products enter the market.
Because flammability presents a direct safety concern, Canada requires specific testing for certain consumer chemical products. Therefore, DO-30 flame extension testing provides clear data to support product classification, labeling decisions, and market access.
DO-30 is a Canadian flammability test method used to measure flame extension and ignition behavior under controlled conditions. During testing, a technician applies a defined flame to a product sample and observes how the flame spreads. As a result, manufacturers receive objective information about product fire behavior.
This testing supports consumer chemical safety requirements administered by Health Canada under the Hazardous Products Act. Consequently, DO-30 testing often plays a key role in Canadian compliance reviews.
Our DO-30 testing process includes:
Sample preparation and conditioning
Controlled flame exposure using DO-30 procedures
Observation and measurement of flame extension
Documentation of ignition behavior
Clear reporting suitable for regulatory review
In addition, we review results for consistency and regulatory relevance before issuing final reports.
Manufacturers commonly request DO-30 flame extension testing for:
Consumer chemical products sold in Canada
Solvent-based or flammable liquid formulations
Aerosol and pressurized products
Products requiring Canadian flammability classification
Because Canadian requirements differ from U.S. standards, companies often request DO-30 testing alongside ASTM-based flammability evaluations.
Pentyl Labs delivers clear and practical flammability testing to support Canadian market access. Moreover, we help clients align DO-30 results with related U.S. testing when needed. As a result, our reports integrate smoothly into regulatory submissions and product safety documentation.
