Abstract
International Maritime Organization (IMO) A.564(14) tests were made on a selection of interior finish materials acceptable for use in maritime applications by the U.S. Coast Guard. The results of these tests were compared to ASTM E84 Flame Spread Index values for the same materials. Limiting values for pass/fail criteria were estimated based on these comparisons.
