Describes the testing procedures and requirements applicable to the classification of interior finish material assemblies by use of the standardized room fire exposure.This test method is intended for use in the evaluation of the flammability contribution of wall material assemblies, ceiling material assemblies, or both, exposed to early fire growth under specified room fire exposure conditions. The effectiveness of fire barrier materials as protection for other combustible materials or components within the assembly is of primary interest for this evaluation.Data with respect to surface flammability characteristics of interior finish materials is provided by evaluations in accordance with the Standard for Test for Surface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials, UL 723.The results obtained by use of this test method are intended to be used as one element of the total body of data used in the processes of selecting and controlling materials for use in building construction.
