WK7751 Revision of D2843-99(2004)e1 Standard Test Method for Density of Smoke from the Burning or Decomposition of Plastics

1. Rationale

The rational for this revision is to modify the fire caveat and include the new additional fire caveat. Additional non-standard language was removed. A change was made in note 6 to indicate all products of combustion are toxic. A typo was corrected in a diagram legend and the general term fire resistant square was replaced with calcium silicate.
