What test measures the contribution of interior textile wall coverings to room fire growth?

The Room Corner Test is designed to assess the potential for fire growth in a space that includes furniture, wall finishes, and other materials. This test measures how the contributions of interior textile wall coverings interact with other elements in a corner of a room, providing insight into how quickly a fire can spread in that environment. The focus on the corner setup helps simulate a more realistic scenario of how fire behaves in an actual room, taking into account the effects of material placement and proximity to other combustible items.

While other tests like the Corner Fire Test and Surface Burning Test measure aspects of flame spread and material ignitability, they do not specifically evaluate the comprehensive interactions within a defined corner space like the Room Corner Test does. The Flame Spread Test also looks at how quickly flames travel over the surface of materials but lacks the specific context of a room's corner situation, which is critical for understanding overall fire growth potential in a typical interior environment.
