24、 exposure. 1.2 This test method is intended for use in the evaluation of the ammability contribution of wall material assemblies, ceiling material assemblies, or both, exposed to early re growth under specied room re exposure conditions. The effectiveness of re barrier materials as protection for ot
25、her combustible materials or components within the assembly is of primary interest for this evaluation. 1.3 Data with respect to surface ammability characteristics of interior nish materials is provided by evaluations in accordance with the Standard for Test for Surface Burning Characteristics of Bu
26、ilding Materials, UL 723, as described in 1.5. 1.4 The results obtained by use of this test method are intended to be used as one element of the total body of data used in the processes of selecting and controlling materials for use in building construction. 1.5 Related classication information for
27、building materials and assemblies intended for specic end-uses is promulgated under categorical designations in accordance with specied testing procedures. These classication categories are as follows: a) Surface Burning Characteristics Classication Establishes the comparative burning characteristic
28、s of building materials and assemblies by measurement of ame spread over exposed surfaces and the density of the smoke developed during the re exposure period. This test method is described in the Standard for Test for Surface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials, UL 723. b) Fire Resistance
29、 Classication Establishes hourly re resistance ratings of building assemblies through large-scale re exposures under specic loading conditions. This test method is described in the Standard for Fire Tests of Building Construction and Materials, UL 263. c) Roof-Covering Materials Classication Establi
30、shes performance measurements for coverings relative to resistance to exterior re spread and penetration. This test method is described in the Standard for Test Methods for Fire Resistance of Roof-Covering Materials, UL 790. d) Roof-Deck Construction Materials Classication Establishes performance me
31、asurements for roong systems with respect to resistance to the spread-of-ame and damage from underdeck interior re exposure. Information pertaining to the test method used in this classication is published in the General Information section, under Guide TGKX, in Underwriters Laboratories Inc.s Annua

34、 PERFORMANCE 3 General 3.1 A nominal 30 pound (13.6 kg) wood crib is to be used to produce a uniform ame for direct impingement on the walls and ceiling in the corner of an 8 by 12 by 8 foot (2.44 by 3.66 by 2.44 m) high room. The contribution of the wall, ceiling, or both wall and ceiling materials
35、 or assemblies, to re growth is to be dened in terms of: a) The time history of temperature development within the room, b) The time from ignition to ameover, and c) The maximum observed ame progression. The test is to be conducted with natural ventilation to the room provided through a single doorw
36、ay 2-1/2 by 7 feet (0.76 by 2.13 m) in width and height, respectively. 3.2 During the test the observed surface burning shall not extend to the extremities of the test specimen nor shall ame project through the doorway opening at any time. 3.3 At the conclusion of the test, observations shall show t
37、hat the combustive damage, such as burning and charring, of the test materials within the assembly diminishes at increasing distance from the immediate re exposure area. 3.4 A report of the test results shall be prepared as specied in Report, Section 11.

38、 MATERIAL - UL 1715 6UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL 4 Ignition Source 4.1 The ignition source for the test is to be a wood crib weighing 30 pounds (13.6 kg), having dimensions of 15 by 15 by 15 inches (381 by 381 by 381 mm),
39、 and constructed of 10 tiers of spruce, pine, or r lumber strips. Each strip is to be 15 inches long, and is to have a cross section of trade size 2 by 2 inches nominal 1-1/2 by 1-1/2 inches (38 by 38 mm). Each tier is to consist of ve parallel strips arranged with equal spacing between strips so th
40、at the tier dimensions are 15 by 15 inches. Within the crib, the strips in each tier are to lie at right angles to the strips in the tier below. Adjacent tiers are to be fastened to each other by chisel-point staples or 8d nails at each point of contact between strips. Each staple is to have a at to
41、p, and the two pointed ends each are to be 1-1/4 inch (32 mm) long and on 1 inch (25 mm) centers. 4.2 The crib is to be placed into a curing cell, at a temperature of 120 10F (48.9 5.5C) and 20 5 percent relative humidity, until constant weight is achieved. 4.3 The wood crib is to be removed from th
42、e curing cell not more than 1 hour prior to the start of the test. 4.4 Immediately prior to test, the crib weight is to be adjusted to a nal weight of 30 1 pound (13.61 0.45 kg) by the addition of conditioned strips. 5 Fire Test Room Geometry and Construction 5.1 With the test specimens in place, th
43、e interior dimensions of the test room oor are to be 8 feet 1 inch by 12 feet 1 inch (2.4 m 25 mm by 3.66 m 25 mm). The nished ceiling is to be 8 feet 0.5 inch (2.44 m 13 mm) above the oor. There are to be four walls at right angles dening the room (see Figure 5.1). SEPTEMBER 9, 1997 FIRE TEST OF IN
