Fire Safety Compliance is Not a Choice
The main purpose of building codes are to protect the public health, safety and welfare as they relate to the construction and occupancy of buildings and structures. Building codes place limits on flammable materials used within a structure. Building and fire codes vary by locality, i.e. state, city, or municipalities, occupancy loads, type of construction, and specific use, all fall under the individual State’s Life Safety Code.
Fire Codes are directed at preventing fires and/or slowing the progression of fire allowing occupants time to escape. Fire codes compliment the building codes. Flame Safe products compliment both.
Building Code Requirement / Fire Code Requirement
The authority having jurisdiction is responsible for enforcing building and fire codes. In all jurisdictions, fire codes require independent laboratory tests for each combustible material and it’s specific use. For instance in regard to fire retardant wood the ASTM E84, ASTM E2768, UL 723 (Steiner Tunnel) test procedure conducted on 2" x 6“ southern yellow pine (SYP) lumber is specific to that species of lumber only. Fire codes require each species to be tested separately. Similarly, even if a test conducted on SYP lumber achieves a flame spread rating of less than 25, it does not mean it will achieve the same on different species or substrates such as plywood, a separate fire test is required. EXCEPTION tests conducted on Douglas fir lumber covers all species of lumber.
