The 2015 NFPA 276 offers laboratories a reliable way to determine the heat release rate of roofing assemblies. NFPA 276: Standard Method of Fire Test for Determining the Heat Release Rate of Roofing Assemblies with Combustible Above-Deck Roofing Components describes a method for determining the heat release rate from below the deck of roofing assemblies that have combustible above-deck roofing components when the assemblies are exposed to a fire from below the roof deck. NFPA 276 is based on FM 4450, “Approval Standard for Class 1 Insulated Steel Roof Decks.” Used by testing laboratories and manufacturers of construction and roofing materials, NFPA 276’s test method is based on the substitution method for measuring the heat release rate by using an auxiliary fuel (propane) to provide the surrogate heat. Requirements include instrumentation specification, and furnace verification and calibration. Provisions also address reporting of fire test results. – See more at: http://catalog.nfpa.org/2015-NFPA-276-Standard-Method-of-Fire-Test-for-Determining-the-Heat-Release-Rate-of-Roofing-Assemblies-with-Combustible-Above-Deck-Roofing-Components-P1267.aspx#sthash.HhHpGWSo.dpuf
