INTRODUCTION:
This report presents test results of Flame Spread and Smoke Devefaped Values per ASTM E84-
91a. The report aiso includes Materiai Identificatian, Method of Preparation, Mounting and
Canditioning of the specimens.
The tests were preformed in accordance with the specifications set forth in ASTM E84-91a,
"Standard Test Method for Surface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials", both as to
equipment and test procedure. 7he test procedure is similar to UL-723,ANSI No. 2.5, NFPA No.
255 and UBC 42-1.
The test results cover two parameters: Flame Spread and Smoke Developed Values during a 10
minute fire exposure. Inorganic cement board and red oak flooring are used as comparative
standards and their responses are assigned arbitrary values of 0 and 100, respectively.
PREPARATION AND CONDITIONS:
Shur-Stik!il Vinyl Wallcovering Adhesive was applied to three(3) 24"x 8'0"sections of I/C
board. The sample was placed over the adhesive and allowed to cure.
The panels were conditioned at 73°±5°Fahrenheit and 50±5%relative humidity.
T�ST PROCEDURE:
The tunnel was thoroughly pre-heated by burning natural gas. When the brick temperature,
sensed by a floor thermocouple, had reached the prescribed 105°Fahrenheit±5°Fahrenheit
level,the sample was inserted in the tunnel and test conducted in accordance with the
standard ASTM E84-91a procedures.
The operation of the tunnel was checked by performing a 1d minute test with inorganic board
on the day of the test.
TEST RESULTS:
The test results,calculated in accordance with ASTM E84-91a for Flame Spread and No/Smoke
Developed Values are as follows:
Test Specimen: � � SS#1 � ��,,
Ffame Spread Index: 0 zfi�
,�;€
Smoke Developed Value: 5 �;�.-�'�°
�
__, ,���. ��.r,� �_�r���-���'"
OBSERVATIONS:
Ignition was noted at 25 seconds along with charring, b{istering,flaking and flaking embers of
the specimen directly exposed to the flame. There was no flamefront advancement. Neither
afterflame nor afterglow were evident upon test completion.
RATING:
The Nationa) Fire Protection Association Life Safety Code 1Q1,Section 6-5.3, "Interior Wali and
, Ceiling Finish Cfassification" has a means of ciassifying materials with respect to Flame Spread
and Smoke Developed when tested in accordance with NFPA 255, "Method of Test of Surface
Burning Characteristics of Building Materials", (ASTM E84}.
The classic�cations are as follows:
Class A Interior Walf&Ceiling Finish: Flame Spread=0-25; .
Smoke Developed=0-450
Class B Interior Wall&Ceiling Finish: Flame Spread=25-75;
Smoke Developed=Q-450
Class C Interior Wall&Ceiling Finish: Flame Spread=76-200;
Smoke Developed=Q—450
Since the sample received a Flame Spread of 0 and a Smoke Developed Value of 5,it would
fall into the Class A Interior Wall&Ceiling Finish category. �
