    Construction materials are constantly innovating, with an integration of plastics into the material. The SPC vinyl floor is having a trend, since it offers other characteristics compared to the normal floating floor, based on a new wave of new construction materials, the market has not analyzed the behavior against an ignition source. From this, the investigation of the reaction to fire of the construction material was carried out according to the NTE INEN-ISO 11925-2 standard, in 4 tests with application of a direct flame to the surface, at a time of 15 and 30 seconds, as well as with the application of a direct flame to the edge at a time of 15 and 30 seconds, with the direction of longitudinal and transverse specimens. For each test, 3 longitudinal specimens and 3 transverse specimens were extracted, which were conditioned as specified in the standard, at a temperature of approximately 23 degrees Celsius with an acceptable variation of plus or minus 2 degrees, and at a relative humidity of 50 percent with a variation acceptable of plus minus 5 percent, in the reaction to fire test chamber of construction materials the requirement was met when igniting the flame which has to meet a flame height of 20 millimeters, subsequently the tests were carried out, with their respective specifications. The results show that the previous material behaves differently based on time; However, its behavior concludes that it is considered self-extinguishing.
