Title
Standard Test Methods for Fire Tests of Roof Coverings
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Feb 1, 2007
Scope:
This fire-test-response standard covers the measurement of the
relative fire characteristics of roof coverings under simulated
fire originating outside the building. It is applicable to roof
coverings intended for installation on either combustible or
noncombustible decks when applied as intended for use. The
following test methods are included:
Intermittent flame exposure test.
Spread of flame test.
Burning brand test.
Flying brand test.
Rain test.
Three classes of fire test exposure are described:
Class A Tests are applicable to roof coverings that are
effective against severe test exposure, afford a high degree of
fire protection to the roof deck, do not slip from position, and do
not present a flying brand hazard.
Class B Tests are applicable to roof coverings that are
effective against moderate test exposure, afford a moderate degree
of fire protection to the roof deck, do not slip from position, and
do not present a flying brand hazard.
Class C Tests are applicable to roof coverings that are
effective against light test exposure, afford a light degree of
fire protection to the roof deck, do not slip from position, and do
not present a flying brand hazard.
The values stated in inch-pound units shall be regarded as the
standard. Values given in brackets are for information only.
This standard is used to measure and describe the response
of materials, products, or assemblies to heat and flame under
controlled laboratory 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.
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 that
provide explanatory information. These notes and footnotes,
excluding those in tables and figures, shall not be considered as
requirements of this standard.
