Sections of the code contain general scoping provisions regarding the use of interior finishes and the performance requirements for controlling fire growth within buildings by restricting interior finish materials and decorations. Code addresses wall and ceiling finishes, interior floor finish requirements. Past fire experience has shown that interior finish and decorative materials are key elements in the growth and spread of fire. In some cases, as with Boston’s devastating Coconut Grove fire in 1942, interior decorations were the first materials ignited. In many other cases, the interior finish materials become involved in the early stages of fire and contributed to it’s early growth and spread. The provisions of code require specific materials used as interior finishes and decorations to have a flame spread index and or flame resistance, based on the relative hazard associated with the occupancy. The performance of the material is evaluated based on test performance in accordance with standards such as ASTM, NFPA, and Flame Shield Consulting professionals or permit applicant is responsible for specifying and providing documentation on the flame spread and flame resistance of a material in order to support the permit application. The building official then evaluates the information supplied to establish that compliance with the applicable code provisions and or reference standards has been met. As with all other code requirements it is also important that Flame Shield Consulting does a field inspection and certification to verify that all materials are in accordance with the approved documents, and code.
