GSO ASTM E84:2022 Scope
1.1 This fire-test-response standard for the comparative
surface burning behavior of building materials is applicable to
exposed surfaces such as walls and ceilings. The test is
conducted with the specimen in the ceiling position with the
surface to be evaluated exposed face down to the ignition
source. The material, product, or assembly shall be capable of
being mounted in the test position during the test. Thus, the
specimen shall either be self-supporting by its own structural
quality, held in place by added supports along the test surface,
or secured from the back side.
1.2 Test Method E84 is a 10-min fire-test response method.
The following standards address testing of materials in accordance with test methods that are applications or variations of
the test method or apparatus used for Test Method E84:
1.2.1 Materials required by the user to meet an extended
30-min duration tunnel test shall be tested in accordance with
Test Method E2768.
1.2.2 Wires and cables for use in air-handling spaces shall
be tested in accordance with NFPA 262.
1.2.3 Pneumatic tubing for control systems shall be tested in
accordance with UL 1820.
1.2.4 Combustible sprinkler piping shall be tested in accordance with UL 1887.
1.2.5 Optical fiber and communications raceways for use in
air handling spaces shall be tested in accordance with UL 2024.
1.3 The purpose of this test method is to determine the
relative burning behavior of the material by observing the
flame spread along the specimen. Flame spread and smoke
developed index are reported. However, there is not necessarily
a relationship between these two measurements.
