20、ing 8 in. (203.2 mm) in width to assess flame spread index and smoke developed index as surface burning characteristicsusing Test Method E84. Caulks and sealants in excess of 8 in. (203.2 mm) are to be tested in full coverage as applied to fiber cementboard as described in Test Method E84.4.2 This p

21、ractice applies only to caulks and sealants from which it is possible to develop specimens that when applied to thesubstrate are self-supporting by their own structural characteristics.4.3 The caulks and sealants addressed in this practice shall be tested in accordance with the specimen preparation

22、and mountingprocedures described in this practice, using Test Method E84.5. Significance and Use5.1 Building products made with caulks and sealants are often used for applications for which Test Method E84 is used forcompliance with building code, life safety code or mechanical code requirements. Th
