A fire test is a means of determining whether fire protection products meet minimum performance criteria as set out in a building code or other applicable legislation. Successful tests in laboratories holding national accreditation for testing and certification result in the issuance of a certification listing. The listing is public domain, whereas the test report itself is proprietary information belonging to the test sponsor. There are many different types of fire tests apart from those on firestops. Walls and floors themselves can be tested, closures within them, such as windows, fire doors, , structural steel and more. Fire tests are conducted both on active fire protection and on passive fire protection items. Each have different test methods and scales. There are full scale, small scale and bench scale tests. There are tests on systems, such as the one below, but there are also tests on materials, such as intumescents, to be sure of components that may be used within a system. Fire testing must consider all applicable provisions of the intended product certification. It is also prudent to test products in such a manner as to ensure ease of use and broad, economical applications with regards to listing and approval use and compliance. ==Examples of fire testing for products and systems== *ASTM E84 Standard Test Method for Surface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials *DIN 4102 Part 1 Fire behaviour of building materials and building components - Part 1: Building materials; concepts, requirements and tests *UL 2221 Tests of Fire Resistive Grease Duct Enclosure Assemblies *UL 1479 Fire Tests of Through-Penetration Firestops *UL 1709 Rapid Rise Fire Tests of Protection Materials for Structural Steel *UL 2085 Protected Aboveground Tanks for Flammable and Combustible Liquids 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fire test」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
