5 Public Input No. 30-NFPA [ Chapter 3 ] Chapter 3 Definitions 3.1 General. The definitions contained in this chapter shall apply to the terms used in this standard. Where terms are not defined in this chapter or within another chapter, they shall be defined using their ordinarily accepted meanings within the context in which they are used. Merriam-Webster s Collegiate Dictionary, 11th edition, shall be the source for the ordinarily accepted meaning. 3.2 NFPA Official Definitions * Approved. Acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction * Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). An organization, office, or individual responsible for enforcing the requirements of a code or standard, or for approving equipment, materials, an installation, or a procedure Labeled. Equipment or materials to which has been attached a label, symbol, or other identifying mark of an organization that is acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction and concerned with product evaluation, that maintains periodic inspection of production of labeled equipment or materials, and by whose labeling the manufacturer indicates compliance with appropriate standards or performance in a specified manner * Listed. Equipment, materials, or services included in a list published by an organization that is acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction and concerned with evaluation of products or services, that maintains periodic inspection of production of listed equipment or materials or periodic evaluation of services, and whose listing states that either the equipment, material, or service meets appropriate designated standards or has been tested and found suitable for a specified purpose Shall. Indicates a mandatory requirement Should. Indicates a recommendation or that which is advised but not required Standard. A document, the main text of which contains only mandatory provisions using the word shall to indicate requirements and which is in a form generally suitable for mandatory reference by another standard or code or for adoption into law. Nonmandatory provisions are not to be considered a part of the requirements of a standard and shall be located in an appendix,annex, footnote, informational note, or other means as permitted in the Manual of Style for NFPA Technical Committee Documents General Definitions Fire-Retardant Coating. A coating, paint or saturant that reduces the flame spread index of Douglas fir, and all other tested combustible surfaces to which it is applied, by at least 50 percent or to a flame spread index value of 75 or less, whichever is the lesser value, and has a smoke developed index not exceeding 200 when tested in accordance with ASTM E 84 or ANSI/UL 723. of 33 9/10/2015 9:11 AM

6 of 33 9/10/2015 9:11 AM Class A Fire-Retardant Coating. A coating that reduces the flame spread index to 25 or less and that has a smoke developed index not exceeding 200 where applied to the applicable substrate, building material, or species of wood when tested in accordance with ASTM E 84 or ANSI/UL Class B Fire-Retardant Coating. A coating 2 Fire Retardant T reated Wood. A wood product impregnated with chemical by a pressure process or other means during manufacture, that reduces the flame spread index to greater than 25 but not more than 75 and that has a smoke developed index not exceeding 200 where applied to the applicable substrate, building material, or species of wood of Douglas fir, and all other tested combustible surfaces to which it is applied when tested in accordance with ASTM E 84 or ANSI/UL Fire Retardant Treated Wood. A wood product impregnated with chemical by a pressure process or other means during manufacture, treated to exhibit reduced surface-burning characteristics and resist propagation of fire. There are fire-retardants on the market that are saturants as well as coatings. This definition adds clarity and consistency. Both Fire-Retardant Coatings and Fire Retardant Treated Wood are tested in the same manner, therefore, definition should be similar when describing the goal of what they are used for. Submitter Full Name: KATHLEEN NEWMAN Organization: FIRETECT Submittal Date: Sat Jul 04 02:03:01 EDT 2015 Resolution: In the fire retardant coating definition change, the committee doesn't see the distinction between a coating and paint. The committee would consider that paint is one type of coating.the proposed revision to the FRTW definition limits discussion to Douglas fir wood products only when any type of wood product can be used.

7 of 33 9/10/2015 9:11 AM Public Input No. 3-NFPA [ Section No ] * Fire-Retardant Coating. A coating or saturant that reduces the flame spread index of Douglas fir, and all or of any other tested combustible surfaces surface to which it is applied, by at least 50 percent or to a flame spread index value of 75 or less, whichever is the lesser value, and has a smoke developed index not exceeding 200 when tested in accordance with ASTM E 84 or ANSI/UL Class A Fire-Retardant Coating. A coating that reduces the flame spread index to 25 or less and that has a smoke developed index not exceeding 200 where applied to the applicable substrate, building material, or species of wood when tested in accordance with ASTM E 84 or ANSI/UL Class B Fire-Retardant Coating. A coating that reduces the flame spread index to greater than 25 but not more than 75 and that has a smoke developed index not exceeding 200 where applied to the applicable substrate, building material, or species of wood when tested in accordance with ASTM E 84 a test for assessing surface burning characteristics. A The efficiency of fire retardant coatings to decrease flame spread index are normally assessed by testing in accordance with ASTM E84 or ANSI/UL 723. There are four issues being dealt with here: (a) NFPA definitions are not allowed to contain requirements, (b) definitions are not allowed to reference specific standards or sections of codes and standards, (c) a fire retardant coating is generally used to reach a certain flame spread index needed for code compliance even if the difference is just a few percent and (d) some manufacturers of fire retardant coatings produce materials that penetrate (at least partially) into the product and, therefore, adding the words "or saturant" expands the application. This point will be addressed also in other public inputs. The definition should just explain what the term means and how it is used. I wonder whether the type of coatings described in NFPA 703 are really coatings for all building products or just for wood products, since NFPA 5000 and NFPA 101 use it only for wood products. Other public inputs will recommend locations within the standard for Class A and Class B fire retardant coatings.

8 of 33 9/10/2015 9:11 AM Submittal Date: Wed Apr 29 16:52:13 EDT 2015 Resolution: FR-3-NFPA Statement: There are three issues being dealt with here: (a) NFPA definitions are not allowed to contain requirements, (b) definitions are not allowed to reference specific standards or sections of codes and standards, (c) a fire retardant coating is generally used to reach a certain flame spread index needed for code compliance even if the difference is just a few percent. The definition should just explain what the term means and how it is used. Other public inputs and first revisions made by the committee recommend locations within the standard for Class A and Class B fire retardant coatings. The committee did not include the part of the change that introduced the word "surfactants". The treatment or coating, regardless of the means used, will result in some level of saturation of the wood. Trying to qualify that more precisely as a condition would cause confusion. The new Annex Section provides information that points to ASTM E84 and ANSI/UL 723 as the appropriate test procedures to use when evaluating the coatings.

9 of 33 9/10/2015 9:11 AM Public Input No. 5-NFPA [ Section No ] Fire Retardant Treated Wood. A wood product impregnated with chemical by a pressure process or impregnated with chemical by other means during manufacture, treated to exhibit reduced surface-burning characteristics and resist propagation of fire. Discussion during past code development cycles have shown there is confusion as to what process the phrase "other means during manufacture" is referring. Testimony often leaves out the "during manufacture" part of the phrase leading one to assume coating applied after manufacture is permitted. Attempts to clarify have only been partially successful. Dictionary Definition: impregnate im-preg-nate (im-pregnat)v.tr. im-preg-nat-ed, im-preg-nat-ing, im-preg-nates. 1. To make pregnant; inseminate. 2. To fertilize (an ovum, for example). 3. To fill throughout; saturate: a cotton wad that was impregnated with ether. 4. To permeate or imbue: impregnate a speech with optimism. Excerpted from American Heritage Talking Dictionary. Copyright 1997 The Learning Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Impregnate describes the process mandated by the code with the phrase "other means during manufacture." The current Section states the treatment is an integral part of the manufacturing process. A presentation by Benjamin Floyd and Alan Ross, Kop-Cote, Inc., at the 2010 Forest Products Society conference in Orlando, FL explains what integral means for wood treatments. It is "The term "integral treatments" refers to combining the active ingredients with the wood furnish (i.e., chips, flakes, strands, etc.) before processing." The dictionary definition of "impregnate" #3 shown above eliminates any confusion as to what the code expects for FRTW. A review of the available literature shows all the testing done for acceptance of FRTW into the codes was performed on wood impregnated with chemicals. The testing ranged from small scale (ASTM E160), to large scale (ASTM E84 and E119) to full scale (White House, (UL 1256 part 2). The revision clarifies what is expected and eliminates possible confusion pertaining to the "other means during manufacture" statement.

13 3 of 33 9/10/2015 9:11 AM Public Input No. 31-NFPA [ Section No ] Fire retardant treated wood shall not show evidence of significant progressive combustion when the test is continued for an additional 20-minute period. Should not be indicated here unless ASTM D 2768 is referenced. Submitter Full Name: KATHLEEN NEWMAN Organization: FIRETECT Submittal Date: Sun Jul 05 19:32:42 EDT 2015 Resolution: The additional 20 minute duration is needed to gain FRTW recognition and is a specific condition of the performance testing for FRTW products. The additional 20 minute duration provision is a long standing rule that has served the ASTM E84 testing process very well.

14 4 of 33 9/10/2015 9:11 AM Public Input No. 17-NFPA [ New Section after ] * Wood products that have been impregnated with chemical by a pressure process or other means during manufacture shall be permitted to be tested in accordance with ASTM E2768, Standard Test Method for Extended Duration Surface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials (30 min Tunnel Test) and to comply with its requirements. A ASTM E2768 was developed specifically as an alternate (and equivalent) description of the "extended" 30 minute ASTM E84 fire test. It utilizes the same apparatus (known as the Steiner tunnel) and the test is conducted for 30 minutes (meaning that it is conducted for an additional 20 minute period as compared with standard ASTM E84 tests of 10 minute duration) and it assesses how far the flame front progresses beyond the centerline of the burners throughout the test. Laboratories have traditionally assessed "significant progressive combustion" simply as the extent of the flame front progress and have not conducted other tests to determine that a wood material is fire retardant treated wood. (renumber and as and ) ASTM E2768 was developed specifically for this purpose. It does exactly what ASTM E84 extended does and assesses the same properties. Submitter Full Name: MARCELO HIRSCHLER Organization: GBH INTERNATIONAL Submittal Date: Wed Jul 01 19:48:58 EDT 2015 Resolution: Adding this second test would create a conflict as you would have two distinct types of pass/fail criteria. This would be perceived as allowing two different levels of performance for like products.

15 5 of 33 9/10/2015 9:11 AM Public Input No. 12-NFPA [ Section No ] For wood products produced by other means during manufacture other than a pressure process that have not been impregnated with chemical or that have been coated, all sides of the wood product shall be tested in accordance with and produce the results required in through This section provides a restraint of trade because it incorporates different requirements based not on what the product is but simply based on the means by which the product was manufactured. That is incorrect. Requirements must be based on the properties of the product itself. Section is clear that fire retardant-treated wood requires that the product be impregnated with chemical but it can be made by a pressure process or by any other means. The key issue is that the product should be "impregnated" and should not be coated. Section is explicit again in that the issue is the impregnation of chemical throughout the product, with any method of manufacture. The public input fixes this problem Fire Retardant Treated Wood. Fire retardant treated wood shall be a wood product impregnated with chemical by a pressure process or other means during manufacture meeting the requirements in through Submitter Full Name: MARCELO HIRSCHLER Organization: GBH INTERNATIONAL Submittal Date: Thu Jun 04 12:38:38 EDT 2015 Resolution: The committee elected to delete Section in its entirety. Rules for testing the product should not be differentiated whether they have been impregnated or not. Refer to FR #4 for this action.

27 7 of 33 9/10/2015 9:11 AM Submittal Date: Wed Jun 03 12:43:07 EDT 2015 Resolution: The codes (NFPA 1, NFPA 101, NFPA 5000, IBC) already determine when a field applied (non-factory) coating is permitted. Factory applied listed coated products are already allowed in new construction applications.

28 Proposal for consideration to 703 Chapter 5 Fire-Retardant Coatings for Building Materials 5.1* Application. These requirements shall apply to fire-retardant paints and other surface coatings applied to building materials in the field or in a factory used for interior finish to reduce flame spread and smoke development. 5.2 General * Fire-retardant coatings shall remain stable and adhere to the material under all atmospheric conditions to which the material is exposed A fire-retardant coating shall not be used for unprotected outdoor installations unless labeled for such installations A fire-retardant coating shall not be coated over with any material unless both the fireretardant coating and the overcoat have been tested as a system and are found to meet the requirements of a fire-retardant coating. 5.5 Labeled The fire retardant coating material shall be listed and labeled to indicate conformance with the requirements in Sections 5.2 through Maintenance of Protection Fire-retardant coatings shall possess the desired degree of permanency and shall be maintained to retain the effectiveness of the treatment under the service conditions encountered in actual use. 5.3 Tests * Fire-retardant coatings shall be tested in accordance with ASTM E84 or ANSI/UL Where fire-retardant coatings are to be subjected to sustained humidity of 80 percent or more or exposure to the weather, certification by a testing laboratory shall be required to indicate that there is no increase in listed classification when subjected to the Standard Rain Test described in ASTM D2898 (Method A) Coating applied in the field The manufacturers instructions for application shall be affixed to each container of the fire retardant coating material The classification of fire-retardant coatings shall apply only when the coating is applied at the rates of coverage and to the applicable substrate, building material, or species of wood indicated on the test report when the coating is applied in accordance with the manufacturer s directions supplied with the container Fire-retardant coatings shall be applied in accordance with the manufacturer s directions The application shall be certified by the applicator as being in conformance with the manufacturer s directions for application. 5.5 Coating applied in a factory 5.5.1Fire-retardant coatings applied to materials in a factory shall be listed for the material to which applied.

The label shall contain all of the following Identification mark of an approved agency that lists materials in accordance with Chapter 3 (See 3.2.4, Listed.) The material to which the coating is applied Identification of the coating manufacturer Factory location Name of the fire-retardant treatment Flame spread index and smoke developed index Standard used to product the fire-retardant coating material Instructions for proper handling of material and repair of coating shall be included with material for each job.

30 8 of 33 9/10/2015 9:11 AM Public Input No. 13-NFPA [ Section No. 5.1 ] 5.1* Application. These requirements shall apply to fire-retardant paints and other surface, coatings or saturants applied to building materials used for interior finish to reduce flame spread and or smoke development. The proposed wording is more generic since it makes two changes: (a) applies to coatings that penetrate into the substrate (namely saturants) and (b) addresses coatings that reduce flame spread only. Related Public Inputs for This Document Related Input Public Input No. 3-NFPA [Section No ] Public Input No. 15-NFPA [Section No ] Relationship Submitter Full Name: MARCELO HIRSCHLER Organization: GBH INTERNATIONAL Submittal Date: Thu Jun 04 12:49:52 EDT 2015 Resolution: FR-6-NFPA Statement: The committee previously rejected use of the term "saturant" to describe a treatment process or condition. The change made in FR# 6 does clarify that the test measures should be evaluating flame spread, smoke development or both.

31 9 of 33 9/10/2015 9:11 AM Public Input No. 15-NFPA [ Section No ] * Fire-retardant coatings shall be tested in accordance with ASTM E 84 E84 or ANSI/UL Class A Fire-Retardant Coating. A coating or saturant that reduces the flame spread index to 25 or less and that has a smoke developed index not exceeding 200 where applied to the applicable substrate, building material, or species of wood when tested in accordance with ASTM E84 or ANSI/UL Class B Fire-Retardant Coating. A coating or saturant that reduces the flame spread index to greater than 25 but not more than 75 and that has a smoke developed index not exceeding 200 where applied to the applicable substrate, building material, or species of wood when tested in accordance with ASTM E84 or ANSI/UL 723. The requirements for what constitutes a Class A and a Class B fire retardant coating are moved from the sections on definitions to this location to comply with the Manual of Style, which does not allow definitions to contain requirements. Note that the section used to read as shown below (that portion of the public input is not new text). The new text proposed by the public input consists simply of the added new sections and * Fire-retardant coatings shall be tested in accordance with ASTM E84 or ANSI/UL 723. Related Public Inputs for This Document Related Input Public Input No. 3-NFPA [Section No ] Public Input No. 13-NFPA [Section No. 5.1] Public Input No. 16-NFPA [New Section after A.3.2.4] Relationship Submitter Full Name: MARCELO HIRSCHLER Organization: GBH INTERNATIONAL Submittal Date: Mon Jun 29 12:13:55 EDT 2015

32 0 of 33 9/10/2015 9:11 AM Resolution: FR-7-NFPA Statement: The requirements for what constitutes a Class A and a Class B fire retardant coating are moved from the sections on definitions to this location to comply with the Manual of Style, which does not allow definitions to contain requirements. Note that the section used to read as shown below (that portion of the public input is not new text). The new text proposed by the public input consists simply of the added new sections and [ Revised Text: 5.3.1* Fire-retardant coatings shall be tested in accordance with ASTM E84 or ANSI/UL 723.] Relocation of this text from Chapter 3 completes the needed revisions so as to not have any requirements in the definition. See the related action on FR #3.

33 1 of 33 9/10/2015 9:11 AM Public Input No. 16-NFPA [ New Section after A ] A The efficiency of fire retardant coatings to decrease flame spread index are normally assessed by testing in accordance with ASTM E84 or ANSI/UL 723. The tests to be used to assess fire retardant coatings has been moved here from the section on definitions, to comply with the NFPA Manual of Style. Related Public Inputs for This Document Related Input Public Input No. 3-NFPA [Section No ] Public Input No. 15-NFPA [Section No ] Relationship Submitter Full Name: MARCELO HIRSCHLER Organization: GBH INTERNATIONAL Submittal Date: Mon Jun 29 12:18:45 EDT 2015 Resolution: FR-3-NFPA Statement: There are three issues being dealt with here: (a) NFPA definitions are not allowed to contain requirements, (b) definitions are not allowed to reference specific standards or sections of codes and standards, (c) a fire retardant coating is generally used to reach a certain flame spread index needed for code compliance even if the difference is just a few percent. The definition should just explain what the term means and how it is used. Other public inputs and first revisions made by the committee recommend locations within the standard for Class A and Class B fire retardant coatings. The committee did not include the part of the change that introduced the word "surfactants". The treatment or coating, regardless of the means used, will result in some level of saturation of the wood. Trying to qualify that more precisely as a condition would cause confusion. The new Annex Section provides information that points to ASTM E84 and ANSI/UL 723 as the appropriate test procedures to use when evaluating the coatings.
