Tensile strength and elongation per ISO 527-3 and ASTM D638 — specimens are pulled to failure to measure the ultimate tensile strength and stretch, verifying the board withstands handling, cutting, and the mechanical stress of installation and service.
Impact resistance and drop weight testing per ASTM D5420 and ISO 6603-2 — the nano insulation board is subjected to controlled impacts to simulate accidental knocks, tool drops, and hail, with post-impact inspection for cracking, delamination, and loss of thermal performance.
Compression set and load relaxation under sustained load per ISO 815-1 and ASTM D395 — the board is compressed at elevated temperature and the permanent deformation and loss of clamping force are measured to predict long-term dimensional stability and sealing performance.

Fire Safety and Reaction-to-Fire Testing for Nanometer Heat Insulation Boards

Euroclass reaction-to-fire classification per EN 13501-1 — the nano insulation board is tested for ignitability, flame spread, and heat release using the single burning item test and the small flame test to generate the classification required for CE marking and compliance with European building regulations.
Non-combustibility and limited combustibility per ISO 1182 and EN ISO 1716 — the nano-porous insulation material is exposed to a furnace at 750 °C to verify it is non-combustible or limited combustible, supporting the highest fire safety classification for building and industrial applications.
Surface burning characteristics per ASTM E84 — the flame spread index and smoke developed index are determined for the nano heat insulation board, verifying Class A or Class B performance for North American building code compliance and insurance requirements.
Fire resistance integrity and insulation of the complete assembly per EN 1364-1 and ASTM E119 — a full-scale wall or ceiling specimen incorporating the nano insulation board is exposed to the standard fire curve to establish the fire resistance rating for compartmentation and structural protection.
