AbstractTests related to reaction to fire of materials are different from one country to another in the EC, as are test‐based classifications. There is no valid equivalence between the classifications of materials. We examine another approach, which is to propose acceptance of materials for a specific application on the basis of the results recorded in tests performed in another country through correlation between data recorded in tests. This new approach is applied here to four tests using radiant panels for floor covering classifications in Belgium, France. West Germany and Italy. This report is based on the results recorded on fifteen materials in the four tests. The conclusion is that the researched correlation is goo
