Description

Promote better fire safety. To evaluate thermal barriers accurately, conduct fire tests according to the 2017 edition of NFPA 275.

With updated references to codes and standards that reflect the latest building industry and public fire safety needs, NFPA 275: Standard Method of Fire Tests for the Evaluation of Thermal Barriers presents a method for qualifying the fire performance of thermal barriers to reduce the probability of ignition or delay its occurrence.

NFPA 275 addresses the protection of metal composite materials (MCM) as well as foam plastic insulation.

Intended for reference by model building codes and used by manufacturers, testing laboratories, and engineers, this important Standard is applicable to building construction materials, products, or assemblies used to protect foam plastic insulation or MCM from direct fire exposure.
