Designation:D8342/D8342M21Standard Test Method forMeasuring the Probability of a Full Length Burn on aCannabis/Hemp Pre-roll1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D8342/D8342M;the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This fire-test-response standard provides a standardmeasure of the probability of a cannabis/hemp pre-roll posi-tioned on a substrate to generate enough heat to continueburning and thus potentially cause ignition of bedding orupholstered furniture.1.2 This test method shall be applicable to pre-roll units thatare intended for personal inhalation by means of combustionand contain dried herbal material from any type of a cannabisplant,that is,cannabis/hemp.For the sake of brevity,the term“cannabis”shall be used henceforth to refer to any type ofcannabis plant(cannabis/hemp).1.3 This test method shall be applicable to pre-rolls thatburn along the length of a cannabis pre-roll column.1.4 This test method shall not be applicable to infusedpre-rolls,which are outside the scope of this standard.1.5 Pre-roll preparation and sampling shall be made usingPractice D8343/D8343M.1.6 UnitsThe values stated in either SI units or UnitedStates Customary units(USC units)are to be regarded sepa-rately as standard.The values stated in each system may not beexact equivalents;therefore,each system shall be used inde-pendently of the other.Combining values from the two systemsmay result in non-conformance with the standard.Metric unitswill be stated as standard and USC units will be shown inbrackets relative to the metric units.1.7 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety,health,and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.8 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D8245 Guide for Disposal of Resin-Containing CannabisRaw Materials and Downstream ProductsD8343/D8343M Practice for Measuring the Physical Prop-erties of Cannabis/Hemp Pre-rollsE177 Practice for Use of the Terms Precision and Bias inASTM Test MethodsE691 Practice for Conducting an Interlaboratory Study toDetermine the Precision of a Test MethodE1352 Test Method for Cigarette Ignition Resistance ofMock-Up Upholstered Furniture AssembliesE1353 Test Methods for Cigarette Ignition Resistance ofComponents of Upholstered Furniture2.2 NFPA Standards:3NFPA 260 Standard Methods of Tests and ClassificationSystems for Cigarette Ignition Resistance of Componentsof Upholstered Furniture(2019)NFPA 261 Standard Method of Test for Determining Resis-tance of Mock-up Upholstered Furniture Material Assem-blies to Ignition by Smoldering Cigarettes(2018)2.3 Other Standards:16 CFR 1632 Standard for the Flammability of Mattressesand Mattress Pads(FF 4-72,Amended)4NIST 851-2 Test Methods for Quantifying the Propensity ofCigarettes to Ignite Soft Furnishings,Volume 25NIST 1436 Relative Ignition of Propensity of Test MarketCigarettes51This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D37 onCannabis and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D37.04 on Processing andHandling.Current edition approved June 1,2021.Published September 2021.DOI:10.1520/D8342_D8342M-21.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3Available from National Fire Protection Association(NFPA),1 BatterymarchPark,Quincy,MA 02169-7471,http:/www.nfpa.org.4Available from U.S.Government Printing Office,Superintendent ofDocuments,732 N.Capitol St.,NW,Washington,DC 20401-0001,http:/www.access.gpo.gov.5Available from National Institute of Standards and Technology(NIST),100Bureau Dr.,Stop 1070,Gaithersburg,MD 20899-1070,http:/www.nist.gov.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.13.Terminology3.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.1.1 crutch filter,na f
