Industry:Fire safety
A code or standard that prescribes fire safety for a generic use or application.
Industry:Fire safety
A coating that reduces the flame spread to greater than 25 but not more than 75, and that has a smoke developed rating not exceeding 200 where applied to the applicable substrate, building material, or species of wood when tested in accordance with NFPA 255, ASTM E 84, or UL 723.
Industry:Fire safety
A coating that reduces the flame spread to 25 or less, and that has a smoke developed rating not exceeding 200 where applied to the applicable substrate, building material, or species of wood when tested in accordance with NFPA 255, ASTM E 84, or UL 723.
Industry:Fire safety
A coating that reduces the flame spread of Douglas fir, and all other tested combustible surfaces to which it is applied, by at least 50 percent or to a flame spread classification value of 75 or less, whichever is the lesser value, and has a smoke developed rating not exceeding 200 when tested in accordance with NFPA 255, ASTM E 84, or UL 723.
Industry:Fire safety
A close-fitting damper to prevent flow and minimize leakage of air or flue gas into any system component.
Industry:Fire safety
