The technology to economically shock test the passi

These treatments add mass to the fire protection system

Lower levels of fireresistance will be allowed without additional shock testing.1.3 This test method is used to

Adequate safe-guards for personnel and property shall be employed inconducting these tests.1.5 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsyste

Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use.
