Consult the 2023 edition of NFPA 705 to promote maximum fire resistance of textile and films.

NFPA 705: Recommended Practice for a Field Flame Test for Textiles and Films provides a field means of determining the tendency of textiles and films to sustain burning subsequent to the application of a relatively small open flame.

Along with current definitions and updated referenced publications, the 2023 edition provides guidance for the complete test procedure and summary, including:

• Materials
• Open flame
• Method
• Requirements
• Limitations
• Precautions

Ensure testing laboratories, manufacturers, and AHJs have the up-to-date information they need to adequately assess the flammability of textiles and films
