| | REVIEW COMMENTS - FIRE DEPARTMENT |
| | |
| | SHEETS ID-03 AND ID-11 INDICATE, "DESIGN DEVELOPMENT |
| | ONLY - NOT INTENDED FOR CONSTRUCTION." WHY ARE |
| | CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTSNOT BEING SUBMITTED? |
| | |
| | SHEET ID-03: GENERAL NOTE #4 STATES, "USE FIRE RATED, |
| | FIRE PROOFED, FIRE RETARDANT MATERIALS, ASSEMBLIES AND |
| | FINISHES WHICH MEET APPLICABLE CODES." WHAT MATERIALS |
| | ARE BEING UTILIZED? WHAT IS THE FLAME SPREAD AND SMOKE |
| | DEVELOPMENT RATINGS? WHERE ARE THESE MATERIALS BEING |
| | APPLIED (WALLS, CEILINGS, BOTH)? WHAT TESTS AND |
| | STANDARDS ARE BEING USED TO JUSTIFY THE USE OF THE |
| | POTENTIAL WALL AND CEILING COVERINGS? |
| | |
| | THE FOAM SOUND BOARD WITH FABRIC TEXTILE FABRIC NEEDS |
| | TO BE TESTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH NFPA 286 - STANDARD |
| | METHODS OF FIRETESTS FOR EVALUATING CONTRIBUTION OF |
| | WALL AND CEILING INTERIOR FINISH TO ROOM FIRE GROWTH OR |
| | NFPA 265, STANDARD METHODS OF FIRE TESTS FOR EVALUATING |
| | ROOM FIRE GROWTH CONTRIBUTION OF TEXTILE OR EXPANDED |
| | VINYL WALL COVERINGS ON FULL HEIGHT PANELS AND WALLS. |
| | PER NFPA 101 SECTION 10.2.4.3.1 CELLULAR OR FOAMED |
| | PLASTIC MATERIALS SHALL BE PERMITTED WHERE SUBJECTED TO |
| | LARGE-SCALE FIRE TESTS THAT SUBSTANTIATE THEIR |
| | COMBUSTIBILITY AND SMOKE RELEASE CHARACTERISTICS FOR |
| | THE USE INTENDED UNDER ACTUAL FIRE CONDITIONS. THE |
| | TESTS SHALL BE PERFORMED ON A FINISHED FOAMED PLASTIC |
| | ASSEMBLY RELATED TO THE ACTUAL END-USE CONFIGURATION, |
| | INCLUDING ANY COVER OR FACING, AND AT THE MAXIMUM |
| | THICKNESS INTENDED FOR USE. |
| | |
| | THE PROHIBITION OF 10.2.4.3 ON THE USE OF FOAMED |
| | PLASTICS WITHIN BUILDINGS IS BASED ON ACTUAL FIRE |
| | EXPERIENCE IN WHICH FOAMED PLASTICS HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO |
| | VERY RAPID FIRE DEVELOPMENT.24 IT ALSO ACKNOWLEDGES |
| | THAT TUNNEL TESTING PER ASTM E 84, STANDARD TEST METHOD |
| | FOR SURFACE BURNING CHARACTERISTICS OF BUILDING |
| | MATERIALS, OR ANSI/UL 723, STANDARD FOR TEST FOR |
| | SURFACE BURNING |
| | CHARACTERISTICS OF BUILDING MATERIALS (SEE 10.2.3.4), |
| | MIGHT NOT ACCURATELY ASSESS THE POTENTIAL HAZARD OF |
| | PLASTICS IN GENERAL. THEREFORE, IF CELLULAR OR FOAMED |
| | PLASTICS ARE TO BE USED WITHIN A BUILDING, THEIR USE |
| | NEEDS TO BE SUBSTANTIATED ON THE BASIS OF LARGE-SCALE |
| | FIRE TESTS THAT SIMULATE CONDITIONS OF ACTUAL USE. |
