Title
Standard Test Methods for Fire Tests of Building Construction and Materials
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Apr 1, 2008
Scope:
The test methods described in this fire-test-response standard
are applicable to assemblies of masonry units and to composite
assemblies of structural materials for buildings, including bearing
and other walls and partitions, columns, girders, beams, slabs, and
composite slab and beam assemblies for floors and roofs. They are
also applicable to other assemblies and structural units that
constitute permanent integral parts of a finished building.
It is the intent that classifications shall register comparative
performance to specific fire-test conditions during the period of
exposure and shall not be construed as having determined
suitability for use under other conditions or after fire
exposure.
This standard is used to measure and describe the response
of materials, products, or assemblies to heat and flame under
controlled conditions, but does not by itself incorporate all
factors required for fire hazard or fire risk assessment of the
materials, products or assemblies under actual fire
conditions..
These test methods prescribe a standard fire exposure for
comparing the test results of building construction assemblies. The
results of these tests are one factor in assessing predicted fire
performance of building construction and assemblies. Application of
these test results to predict the performance of actual building
construction requires the evaluation of test conditions.
The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the
standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical
conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and
are not considered standard.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety
concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility
of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
The text of this standard references notes and footnotes which
provide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes (excluding
those in tables and figures) shall not be considered as
requirements of the standard.
