Reaction to fire is important during the growing phase of a fire and concerns the properties of a material with regard to the influence on the origin and the development of the fire.
Relevant properties of the material are:
- ignitability/inflammability
- the amount of heat released during combustion
- the extent of propagation of flames over a surface
- the amount and the nature of the combustion gasses
