Cecil -- Your inquiry is a bit broad, so it's hard to provide specific answers.
If the polycarbonate parts are part of electrical equipment, you should be able to find flammability requirements in the safety standards used for that equipment in the intended markets. If the polycarbonate is for use in buildings and is permanent (e.g., windows), I would expect that there might be some guidance in local building codes. If the polycarbonate is used in furnishings (e.g., cashier shields), I simply don't know. Some things (e.g., sleepware, furniture) are regulated for flammability, but I don't know if polycarbonate is. Lastly, in certain high risk areas (e.g., cleanrooms) insurance companies might have minimum flammability requirements for plastics. So "it depends" applies here! :-) I hope others on this forum can chip in.
