Abstract

This project aimed to investigate the relationship between large and small-scale testing for the combustion toxicity of cables. This was done to see if it was viable for small-scale testing to replace or act as a screening method for the large-scale test to try and reduce monetary, time and manpower costs. Also investigated was the comparison of combustion toxicity between Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) and a selection of Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSOH) cable materials.
