NFPA 285: Evaluation of Flammability Characteristics of Exterior Nonload Bearing Wall Assemblies Containing Components Using the Intermediate Scale Multi-Story Test Apparatus, 1998 Edition
Test method of determining the flammability characteristics of exterior, non loading-bearing wall assemblies/panels which contain combustible components. The test evaluates the capability of the test assembly to resist flame propagation, resist vertical spread of flame within the panel and internally surface (room side) to another story, and lateral spread to adjacent spaces. The test is an intermediate-scale, multistory test apparatus.
