ISO 5660-1:2015 is titled "Reaction to fire tests — Heat release, smoke production, and mass loss — Part 1: Heat release rate (cone calorimeter method)."

ISO 5660-1 specifies a method for measuring heat release rate (HRR), smoke production, and mass loss of materials when subjected to fire conditions, using a cone calorimeter. This test is crucial for evaluating the fire performance of materials, particularly in the context of fire safety engineering and building design. It helps determine how materials behave in fire, which is essential for understanding fire risks and ensuring safety in buildings, transportation, and other areas.
