| Code | Label | Definition | Unit | Aggregation | Better |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
09.01 | Mechanical Strength | Tensile, compressive, or flexural strength of a material or product under specified test conditions, in megapascals. | MPa | Minimum | Higher |
09.02 | Impact Resistance | Energy absorbed by a material or product before fracture under impact loading, in joules. | J | Minimum | Higher |
09.03 | Thermal Performance | Thermal resistance (R-value) or thermal conductivity of a material or assembly, indicating its ability to insulate against heat transfer. | 1 | Weighted average | Higher |
09.04 | Fire Resistance Rating | Duration a material or assembly maintains structural integrity, insulation, and limits heat transfer under standard fire exposure conditions, in minutes. | min | Minimum | Higher |
09.05 | Electrical Safety Rating | Composite test result or classification for electrical insulation, shock protection, and fault tolerance under applicable safety standards. | 1 | Minimum | Higher |
09.06 | Flammability Rating | Classification of a material's reaction to fire, covering ignitability, flame spread, heat release, and smoke generation under standard test conditions. | 1 | Minimum | Higher |
09.07 | Chemical Substance Concentration | Concentration of a specified regulated or restricted substance present in a product, in milligrams per kilogram. | mg/kg | Maximum | Lower |
09.08 | Noise Emission Level | Sound power or sound pressure level emitted by a product during normal operation, in decibels. | 1 | Maximum | Lower |
