| | 10/22/21 - A RESPONSE LETTER WAS SUBMITTED, IT APPEARS |
| | TO IMPLY THAT CORETEC FLOORING WITH SELETAC |
| | UNDERLAYMENT IS PROPOSED. IT IS NOT CLEAR WHY A |
| | SEPARATE UNDERLAYMENT IS PROPOSED WHEN THE CORETEC |
| | APPEARS TO COMPLY WITH STC/IIC REQUIREMENTS (STC 52, |
| | IIC 51). EXCEEDING MINIMUM CODE COMPLIANCE IS ALWAYS |
| | ACCEPTABLE BUT THEN THE UNDERLAYMENT NEEDS TO COMPLY |
| | WITH FLAME SPREAD. |
| | |
| | IF YOU ADD AN UNDERLAYMENT THE UNDERLAYMENT IS REQUIRED |
| | TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENT FOR FLAME SPREAD TEST |
| | FBC B 603.1. IF SELETAC UNDERLAYMENT IS PROPOSED, |
| | SUBMIT FLAME SPREAD (REQUIREMENT C BELOW). REQUIREMENTS |
| | A AND B (STC/IIC) ARE SATISFIED BY THE STC/IIC TEST |
| | REPORT FOR CORETEC FLOORING. |
| | |
| | |
