Reaction test to a thermal attack of a single burning item, on construction products other than floor coverings. The test is used to classify building materials according to DIN EN 13501-1 for the European classes A2, B, C and D. Two specimen wings are mounted vertically at a 90 ° angle to each other on the specimen trolley. In the lower corner formed by the specimen wings, a sand bed burner simulates a burning item, e.g. a burning waste container. A second identical burner, which is ignited shortly before the main burner, serves to determine the heat development and heat release of the burner on its own. In addition to the development of the fire, it is determined whether parts of the specimen drip off or fall off.
