The quality of resistance to ignition and combustion shall be the primary feature of the test standards, but such other factors as the effect of the chemicals on materials being treated and the probable life of the flame-retardant quality shall also be given due consideration. Test standards shall be those adopted and developed through research by the State Fire Marshal and shall include, but not by way of limitation, means for determining weight gain, effects of weathering, breaking strength, aging, flexibility, crocking, neutrality (pH), appearance, settling and any other test found necessary to insure requisite qualities.
