The combustion behaviour of polymeric materials either fire retarded or not, burning in the Glow Wire and UL 94 tests, was characterised by means of thermography. It is shown that the distribution of temperatures in the gas and condensed phase of the burning specimen thus recorded, supplies fundamental complementary information for the characterisation of the combustion process.
