It would appear that the term is specified in DIN 4102-1 and DIN EN 13501-1. If you have access to the texts of either of these norms, you should find what you are looking for.

Standbaumaterialien müssen entsprechend DIN 4102-1 B1 oder DIN EN 13501-1 C s3,d0 schwer entflammbar und nicht brennend abtropfend sein.

The above document is "bilingual" DE-EN, but the EN is not entirely convincing! For what it's worth, this particular section is translated here as:

Stand construction materials must comply with DIN 4102-1 B1 or DIN EN 13501-1 C s3,d0, and be flame resistance, non burning and not melt at high temperatures.

Mit Vorsicht zu geniessen!

I settled on "non-burning chads breaking off". 'Drops' cannot really be aflame, would be more like 'sparks'. I think they mean small pieces.

For your info: Had a few drops of 'best bitter' since
