Use the 2015 NFPA 265 to increase safety through proper selection of fire-resistant 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. This 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 Coverage includes: Test equipment Specimen mounting Instrumentation Calibration Test procedures Calculations Documentation Bring your knowledge in line with the 2015 NFPA 265. In this 2015 edition, Chapter 9: Test Method was rewritten to provide consistence with NFPA 286: Standard Methods of Fire Tests for Evaluating Contribution of Wall and Ceiling Interior Finish to Room Fire Growth. Make sure you’re equipped with the latest fire safety testing rules for wall coverings – See more at: http://catalog.nfpa.org/2015-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-P1255.aspx#sthash.yvMHKFFx.dpuf
