- Abstract
- The characterization and regulation of the fire growth characteristics of interior finish materials have been of concern for many years. Since the early 1970's it has been recognized that small scale test methods are unable to accurately predict the fire growth potential of certain types of interior finish materials, particularly those composed of synthetic polymers. This recognition has led to an interest in the use of full scale room fire tests for this purpose.
