SR301 Simplified reaction to fire for interior wall, ceiling and floor linings - literature review (2014)

The focus for the overall project was to investigate the possibility of providing simplified 'deemed to comply' solutions to demonstrate Code compliance for fire properties of surface coatings and other interior finishes in the New Zealand regulatory context.

The approach used for this literature review has been to collect together published test results that may be (directly or indirectly) relevant to the fire testing procedures required for compliance with the New Zealand Building Code and to provide guidance for designing a test programme. However, the ability for the collation of data is limited because of the wide range of different types of substrates and specific test conditions that were used for the various data sets.
