1. Scope
This standard prescribes a method to assess the fire-test response characteristics of decks or other horizontal structures attached to or in close proximity to primary structures. The prescribed fire exposure is intended, under test conditions, to determine the heat release rate and the thermal decomposition modes of decking materials or other horizontal boards when exposed to a burner flame simulating combustibles burning beneath a deck.
Keywords
