TEST 4
The Issue -
TABO - Mechanical Insertion Machine
The Test -
The coffin is tested by loading onto equipment to
simulate a TABO charger
The TABO charger only exists in a dozen or so crematoria, but none the less,
suppliers understand that once the coffin is sold, they don’t know where it is
going to ends up.
On equipment to replicate the TABO charger, check the coffins
performance. If it snags or sags on loading pins, it fails.
TEST 5
The Issue -
Ignition/radiant heat scenario
The Test -
A sample of the coffin
is tested by subjecting it to
a variation of temperatures to simulate the cremator when the
access doors to the chamber is opened.
When the Coffin is presented for cremation, the cremator door opens and
it’s exposed to very high temperatures. The Coffin cannot catch fire until it is
securely in the cremation chamber.
Test sample material. They expose the sample to the heat source for
a given length of time and temperature. If it catches fire, it fails
