NFPA 285: Standard Fire Test Method for Evaluation of Fire Propagation Characteristics of Exterior Non-Load-Bearing Wall Assemblies Containing Combustible Components
NFPA 285: 使用试验器械测定外部非承重墙组件包含可燃组件的可燃性评价试验标准方法
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)
