Température de transition vitreuse (T g ) ; glass transition temperature
Temperature characteristic of the reversible transition from the glassy to the rubbery state. This phenomenon affects the material's mechanical properties, and is measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).
Cône calorimètre; cone calorimeter
Instrument used to study the fire behavior of small samples, with a surface area of 100 x 100 mm 2 . It provides information on the heat output of burning polymers as a function of time when subjected to radiative flux.

Standards and norms
The French decree of November 21, 2002 (as amended) on the reaction to fire of construction and fitting-out products, now introduces "euroclasses" of reaction to fire. Euroclasses, defined in European standard EN 13501-1, are a system of classification into five categories of requirement: A1, A2, B, C, D, E, F.
This site lists the most important standards for retardants, according to the materials...
