Bruce, I'm not an expert, but it is a UL test that in general rates a
materials ability to extinguish itself after its ignited. You subject
materials to flame for two 10 second intervals.
To pass the test, the resin, in a vertical (V) position has to stop burning
after 10 seconds with no (i.e. 0 ) drips. A resin has to be rated at a
paticular wall thickness (ie, 94VO @ .125"), and color or additives can
affect the rating. Regards, Bob
