| | 3RD BUILDING REVIEW DENIED: |
| | |
| | NOTE: BELOW LISTED IS THE BREAKDOWN OF THE REASON FOR |
| | FAILURE. |
| | WHAT IS REQUIRED IS TO PROVIDE A FLOORING UNDERLAYMENT |
| | THAT WORKS FOR THE WOOD FLOOR AND WAS NOT TESTED WITH |
| | AN INSULATED GYPSUM BOARD SUSPENDED CEILING. THE TEST |
| | REPORTS STILL HAVE TO COVER SOUND AND FLAME SPREAD |
| | UNDER ASTM E 492, ASTM E 90 & ASTM E 84. |
| | |
| | |
| | 2.) THE (2) TEST REPORTS THAT WERE SUBMITTED ARE NOT |
| | APPLICABLE TO THIS PROJECT. THE ASTM E 492 TEST REPORT |
| | (PROFLEX MSC 90) IS FOR PORCELAIN TILE FLOORING AND FOR |
| | SITUATIONS WHERE THERE IS A DROPPED CEILING. THE OTHER |
| | TEST REPORT IS FOR ASTM E 84 (PROFLEX SUPER-SIM 90) |
| | WHICH IS FOR FLAME SPREAD OF PORCELAIN TILE AND RED OAK |
| | FLOORING. |
| | |
| | THERE WERE NO TEST REPORTS FOR THE UNDERLAYMENT/MAPEI |
| | ULTRABOND 980 SUBMITTED. PLEASE NOTE THAT TEST REPORTS |
| | ARE REQUIRED - MANUFACTURER SPEC SHEETS ARE NOT |
| | ACCEPTABLE DUE TO DISCREPANCIES BETWEEN SPEC |
| | SHEETS/BROCHURES AND TEST REPORTS FOR SOME |
| | MANUFACTURERS (NOT NECESSARILY THE MANUFACTURER |
| | SELECTED; THIS IS A GENERAL COMMENT) |
| | |

| | (STC) OF NOT LESS THAN 50 (45 IF FIELD TESTED) FOR AIR |
| | BORNE NOISE WHEN TESTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH ASTM E 90. |
| | THE TEST REPORT CANNOT INCLUDE A DROPPED GYPSUM |
| | CEILING. PROVIDE A COPY OF THE TEST REPORT. |
| | |
| | B. FBC 1207.3, FLOOR/CEILING ASSEMBLIES BETWEEN |
| | DWELLING UNITS OR BETWEEN A DWELLING UNIT AND A PUBLIC |
| | OR SERVICE AREA WITHIN THE STRUCTURE SHALL HAVE AN |
| | IMPACT INSULATION CLASS (IIC) RATING OF NOT LESS THAN |
| | 50 (45 IF FIELD TESTED) WHEN TESTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH |
| | ASTM E 492. THE TEST REPORT CANNOT INCLUDE A DROPPED |
| | GYPSUM CEILING. PROVIDE A COPY OF THE TEST REPORT. |
| | |
| | C. FBC 603.1, ALLOWABLE MATERIALS IN NON COMBUSTIBLE |
| | BUILDINGS, SEE ITEM 2, EXCEPTION 2, ACOUSTICAL |
| | INSULATION INSTALLED BETWEEN A FINISHED FLOOR AND SOLID |
| | DECKING WITHOUT INTERVENING AIRSPACE SHALL BE ALLOWED |
| | TO HAVE A FLAME SPREAD INDEX OF NOT MORE THAN 200. SEE |
