NFPA 285: Standard Fire Test Method for Evaluation of Fire Propagation Characteristics of Exterior Non-Load-Bearing Wall Assemblies Containing Combustible Components
NFPA 285: 使用試驗(yàn)器械測定外部非承重墻組件包含可燃組件的可燃性評價試驗(yàn)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)方法
This test provides a method of determining the flammability characteristics of exterior, non-load-bearing wall assemblies/panels. The test method described is intended to evaluate the inclusion of combustible components within wall assembled/panels of buildings that are required to be of non-combustible construction. It is intended to simulate the tested wall assemblies' fire performance.
NFPA 285 provides a method of determining the flammability characteristics of exterior, nonload bearing wall assemblies and panels which are required to be of non-combustible construction but may contain combustible components.
The 2006 NFPA 285: Standard Fire Test Method for Evaluation of Fire Propagation Characteristics of Exterior Non-Load-Bearing Wall Assemblies Containing Combustible Components includes:
· Changes that improve the application of the test method
· Clarified scope and purpose
· Technical changes addressing details about the test specimen, documentation of the fire test, and testing instrumentation
· Complete editorial rewrite for compliance with NFPA®'s Manual of Style
A new Annex provides historical information describing the development. (Sotfbound, 20 pp., 2006)
