12、tanceRated Assemblies 2017 Edition This edition of NFPA 288, Standard Methods of Fire Tests of Horizontal Fire Door Assemblies Installed in Horizontal Fire ResistanceRated Assemblies, was prepared by the Technical Committee on Fire Tests. It was issued by the Standards Council on August 7, 2016, wit
13、h an effective date of August 27, 2016, and supersedes all previous editions. This edition of NFPA 288 was approved as an American National Standard on August 27, 2016. Origin and Development of NFPA 288 This test procedure was developed in response to inquiries from outside sources to investigate a
14、nd establish a testing procedure for oor re doors. NFPA 80, Standard for Fire Doors and Other Opening Protectives, had a reference for horizontal access doors and required those assemblies to be tested in a horizontal position in accordance with the procedure described in NFPA 251, Standard Methods
15、of Tests of Fire Endurance of Building Construction and Materials (now withdrawn). NFPA 251 noted that the test standard did not provide for the effect on re endurance of conventional openings in the assembly unless specically provided for in the construction tested. This provision limited the testi
16、ng of the oor re door to the particular oor/ceiling or roof assembly used. Prior to this test method being developed, some testing laboratories provided testing and labeling of these products. There were many test protocols that had to be assumed, which created inconsistency in the testing procedure
17、s and listing requirements. This test procedure provides for consistency in the testing and listing of oor re doors. The test procedure has incorporated provisions from NFPA 251, Standard Methods of Tests of re Resistance of Building Construction and Materials (now withdrawn), and NFPA 252, Standard
18、 Methods of Fire Tests of Door Assemblies, where appropriate. The 2007 edition of NFPA 288 was a reconrmation of the 2001 edition. The 2012 edition expanded the documents scope to include horizontal assemblies, such as roofs. Requirements for thermocouple locations were also revised. The revisions i
19、n the 2017 edition are limited to reference updates.FIRE TESTS OF HORIZONTAL FIRE DOOR ASSEMBLIES INSTALLED IN HORIZONTAL FIRE RESISTANCERATED ASSEMBLIES 288-2 2017 Edition Technical Committee on Fire Tests Barry L.
