17、 COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL INTRODUCTION 1 Scope 1.1 This method of test for surface burning characteristics of building materials is applicable to any type of building material that, by its own structural quality or the ma
18、nner in which it is applied, is capable of supporting itself in position or being supported in the test furnace to a thickness comparable to its intended use. 1.2 The purpose of the test is to determine the comparative burning characteristics of the material under test by evaluating the spread of am
19、e over its surface and the density of the smoke developed when exposed to a test re, and thus to establish a basis on which surface burning characteristics of different materials are compared, without specic regard to all the end-use parameters that affect the surface burning characteristics. 1.3 Th
20、is method of test is intended to register performance during the period of exposure, and not to determine suitability for use after the test exposure. Reference the requirements in the Standard for Fire Tests of Building Construction and Materials, UL 263, for procedures for determining the performa
21、nce, under re exposure conditions, of building constructions and materials when incorporated into a test structure and subjected to a standard exposing re of controlled extent and severity. 2 General 2.1 Values stated without parentheses are the requirement. Values in parentheses are explanatory or
22、approximate information. 2.2 Any undated reference to a code or standard appearing in the requirements of this standard shall be interpreted as referring to the latest edition of that code or standard.
