What data are you looking for?
If you are looking for data associated with ignition by thermal radiation, you will most likely not find data for a specific heater. You will have to make the measurements yourself with a calorimeter. You can then compare the data to ignition data for a specific item at the relevant distance and configuration. There is some published data on this, but again, you may have to conduct experiments to gather the required data.
