What is ASTM E84 & What does it mean?
- ASTM E84 is "The Standard Method of Test for Surface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials"
- Results are expressed in terms of Flame Spread Index (FSI) and Smoke Developed Index (SDI)
- This information will help determine if a material can withstand a fire, or provide protection for a period of time
- Building with products or materials that are Class 1 (or A) with ASTM E84 testing ensures superior fire safety
