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
