First edition! Evaluate thermal barriers accurately with fire tests conducted according to NFPA 275.

Developed in response to building industry and public fire safety needs, NFPA 275: Standard Method of Fire Tests for the Evaluation of Thermal Barriers Used Over Foam Plastic Insulation presents a method for evaluating the fire performance of thermal barriers used over foam plastic insulation to reduce the probability of ignition or delay its occurrence.

Intended for reference by model building codes, NFPA 275's requirements address building construction materials, products, or assemblies used to protect foam plastic insulation from direct fire exposure.
