Test and select fire-resistant wall coverings carefully. Help to increase public safety using the 2019 edition of NFPA 265. Updated to address modern fiber-cement board used for mounting wall coverings, NFPA 265, Standard Methods of Fire Tests for Evaluating Room Fire Growth Contribution of Textile or Expanded Vinyl Wall Coverings on Full Height Panels and Walls, describes a method for determining the contribution of textile wall coverings to room fire growth during specified fire exposure conditions. Important to public safety, this reliable method is used to: Evaluate the flammability characteristics of textile wall coverings that constitute the exposed interior surfaces of buildings. Measure certain fire performance characteristics of textile wall covering materials in an enclosure under specified fire exposure conditions. Determine the potential extent to which the textile wall covering materials contribute to fire growth in a room, and the potential for fire spread beyond the room. NFPA 265 covers: Test equipment Specimen mounting Instrumentation Calibration Test procedures Calculations Documentation Bring your knowledge in line with the 2019 edition of NFPA 265. Stay equipped with the latest fire testing criteria.
