Abstract

In this study, we would evaluate fire risk by domestic standard for artificial turf installed on field and roofs. Today domestic regulation for artificial turf only applies to outdoor uses and especially KS M 3888-1 has compulsion but limited to school athletic facilities. Indoor regulation complying with National Emergency Management Agency (No. 2012-35) was enacted as recommendations. Thus this study did combustion test of artificial turf installed on field. Analyzed result by 45 degree flammability test, standard was inadequate to judge the fire risk so we compared and analysed its characteristic through combustion test of flame retardant finishing carpet used as flooring. Test and assessment result of its ignitionability by 45 degree flammability test showed that carpet was satisfied with flame retardant finishing performance standard contrary to artificial turf. For this reason, by conducting cone calorimeter test, the combustion property after ignition would be analyzed and evaluated and then this study will suggest a countermeasure for strengthening standard.

본 연구에서는 운동장과 건물의 옥상 등 실외에 설치되고 있는 인조잔디에 대해 국내 기준에 의한 화재위험성을 평가하고자 한다. 현재 인조잔디에 대한 국내 기준은 실외에 한하고 있으며 특히 학교체육시설이라고 국한하여 KS M 3888-1에 강제하고 있고, 실내 기준은 소방방재청고시(2012-35호)에 권장사항으로 규정하고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 강제규정하고 있는 실외에 설치되는 인조잔디에 국한하여 연소시험을 진행하였다. $45^{\circ}$ 방염시험을 진행하여 분석한 결과, 현재 설정되어 있는 기준이 화재의 위험성을 판단하기에 매우 미흡함을 확인하였다. 이에 바닥재로 통용되고 있는 방염처리된 카페트의 연소시험을 통해 그 특징을 비교한 후 분석하였다. 45o 방염시험기를 이용하여 착화성을 시험한 후 평가한 결과, 해당기준에서 크게 벗어난 인조잔디와 달리 카페트는 방염성능기준을 만족하였다. 이에 추가로 인조잔디에 대해 콘칼로리미터시험을 진행하여 착화 이후의 연소특성을 분석 및 평가함으로써 실외 적용되는 인조잔디의 기준 강화를 위한 대책을 제안하였다.
