Each one specifies its own fire hazard tests and fail/pass criteria, which depend on the fire
resistance required for the plastic part.
The fire hazard
tests specified in this standard are known as Glow-Wire (GW) tests.
The most common tests specified by UL 94 are the vertical burning (V-0; V-1; V-2) test and horizontal burning
(HB) test.
