I 6 FLAME SPREAD RATING Flame Spread Rating is a rating assigned to building materials based on data generated by an ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) fire test; ASTM 84*, "Standard Test Method for Surface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials." This is one of several fire tests that may be required of building products mufacturers as part of the overall "life safety" issue in building design and construction. This testing is conducted to assure adequate time from the start of a' fire for cupants to evacuate. sere are two components of data generated in the ASTM E84 test that are used to determine the Flame Spread Rating: Flame Spread Index: Relative to how far a flame front travels in the test configuration. Smoke Developed Index Relative to smoke obscuration data from the test burn. ie results of the ASTM E 84 testing enable the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) to assign a letter rating (A, B or C) that can be used to determine itability of a product for use in a particular location. Those ratings for interior walls and ceilings are: Class A: Class B: Class C: WE STANDARDS: Asbestos Cement Board: Red Oak Flooring: - Flame Spread Index = 0 — 25 Flame Spread Index = 26 - 75 Flame Spread Index = 76 - 200 Flame Spread Index = 0 Flame Spread Index = 100 Smoke Developed Index = 0 - 450 Smoke Developed Index = 0 - 450 Smoke Developed Index = 0 - 450 Smoke Developed Index = 0 Smoke Developed Index = 100 i use of Class A rated paint. materials over non-combustible wall and ceiling surfaces such as fire -rated drywall, concrete, masonry, stucco, etc. is sometimes uired. It is not feasible, however, for each paint manufacturer to test every base in every product that might possibly be used in occupied areas. Therefore, in lition to considerable independent testing conducted by Porter Paints and other paint manufacturers, the paint industry participated in a Flammability of Paint dy conducted by the National Paint and Coatings Association (NPCA) at Southwest Research Institute Department of Fire Technology, San Antonio, Texas. The series evaluated a wide variety of paint products and systems on a variety of substrates. The conclusion reached from this study was: "...conventional paints and .rings do not increase the flame spread of either non-flammable or flammable substrates upon which they are applied. It also indicates that any fuel contribution or )ke density increase is insignificant when compared with the contribution of the substrate itself."** Therefore, on the basis of this testing, all conventional paints I coatings can be assigned a "Class A" rating for use over Class A rated surfaces.

Because conventional architectural paints do not significantly a joect the rating of the substrate to which they are applied, they will not upgrade a flammable substrate such as wood to a Class A ra ing.
