IMPORTANCE OF UL94 There are two major established norms in the E&E industry that relate to plastics flammability: the IEC 60695 standard and the UL94 standard. Each one specifies its own fire hazard tests and fail/pass criteria, which depend on the fire resistance required for the plastic part. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.
