2. Commercial phosphorus flame retardants for polymeric materials
Ammonium polyphosphate for the treatment of cellulose materials (textiles, wood, etc.) has been around for almost three centuries. However, with the advent of synthetic polymers in the 20th century, organophosphorus compounds became an important class of flame retardants. Finally, in recent years, for health and environmental reasons, new regulations such as REACH
have restricted or banned the use of certain halogenated systems, thus increasing the interest in phosphorus flame retardants

Standards and norms
The French decree of November 21, 2002 (as amended) on the reaction to fire of construction and fitting-out products, now introduces "euroclasses" of reaction to fire. Euroclasses, defined in European standard EN 13501-1, are a system of classification into five categories of requirement: A1, A2, B, C, D, E, F.
