3.3.3 Noncombustible Material. A material that, in the form in which it is used and under the conditions anticipated, will not ignite, burn, support combustion, or release flammable vapors, when subjected to fire or heat. Materials that are reported as passing ASTM E 136 are considered noncombustible materials.(see 5.1)


This extracts the information about noncombustible materials from NFPA 101 and follows the trend of most NFPA codes and standards (including NFPA 1, 101, 5000 and others) that complies with the Manual of Style and eliminates requirements and references to codes, standards and regulations from definitions and places them into the body of the document.

Public Input No. 5-NFPA 80A-2014 [ Chapter 5 ]

Chapter 5 Means of Protection

5.1

* Noncombustible material [NFPA 101, 2015]5.1.1 A material that complies with any one of the following shall be considered a noncombustible material:

(1)*The material, in the form in which it is used, and under the conditions anticipated, will not ignite, burn, support combustion, or release flammable vapors when subjected to fire or heat

(2) The material is reported as passing ASTM E 136, Standard Test Method for Behavior of Materials in a Vertical Tube Furnace at 750 Degrees C

(3) The material is reported as complying with the pass/fail criteria of ASTM E 136 when tested in accordance with the test method and procedure in ASTM E 2652, Standard Test Method for Behavior of Materials in a Tube Furnace with a Cone-shaped Airflow Stabilizer, at 750 Degrees C [NFPA 101-2015]A.5.1 The provisions of 5.1 do not require inherently noncombustible materials to be tested in order to be classified as noncombustible materials. [NFPA 101, 2015]

A.5.1.1(1) Examples of such materials include steel, concrete, masonry and glass. [NFPA 101, 2015]Also add ASTM E 2652, Standard Test Method for Behavior of Materials in a Tube Furnace with a Cone-shaped Airflow Stabilizer, at 750 Degrees C (2012) into chapter 2 on referenced standards and add NFPA 101 to section 2.4 for extracts.

5.2 Types.Various means of protecting buildings from fire damage resulting from exterior exposure, listed as follows in no specific order with regard to adequacy, should be considered:

(1) Buildings

(2) Clear space between buildings

(3) Total automatic sprinkler protection

(4) Walls

(5) Blank walls of noncombustible materials

(6) Barrier walls (self-supporting) between the building and exposure



of 15

(7) Extension of exterior masonry walls to form parapets or wings

(8) Automatic exposure protection sprinkler systems for combustible walls

(9) Wall openings

(10) Elimination of openings by filling with equivalent construction

(11) Glass block panels in openings

(12) Wired glass in steel sash (fixed or automatic closing) inopenings

(13) Automatic exposure protection sprinkler systems

(14) Listed automatic window sprinklers

(15) Automatic (rolling steel) fire shutters on openings

(16) Automatic fire doors on door openings

(17) Automatic fire dampers on wall openings

(18) Fire window assembly

5.2 3 Additional Protection.5.2 3 .1Additional means of protection that can be developed, such as double-glazed glass in metal sash, flame-retardant coatings, and other arrangements, also should be considered.5.2 3 .2Any additional means of protection should be approved before being implemented.5.3 4 Evaluation of Protection.Evaluation of the suitability of any of the types of protection specified in Section 5.1 should consider the adverse effects of convected heat, flame impingement, and small flying brands associated with winds, as well as the beneficial effects of fire department operations. Large flying brands are not considered.5.4 5 Selecting the Means of Protection.The means of protection selected should be approved for the individual application and should be installed in accordance with appropriate standards (e.g., fire doors installed in accordance with NFPA 80, Standard for Fire Doors and Fire Windows , and automatic sprinklers installed in accordance with NFPA 13, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems ).5.5 6 Manual Operation.



of 15

Manually operated window shutters or sprinklers should not be used. The excessive time needed to close or activate them at the time of a fire incident and the fact that the property exposed could be vacant or uninhabited at the time of the fire incident make their value questionable.5.6 7 Application of Means of Protection.The various means of protection to reduce the separation distances indicated in Table 4.3.7.3 and Table 4.3.8.2 should be applied in accordance with the guidelines provided in 5.6.1 .5.6 7 .1 Separation Adjustments.Table 5.6.1(a) through Table 5.6.1(e) should be used for adjusting the separation distances derived from Table 4.3.7.3 and Table 4.3.8.2 .Table 5.6 7 .1(a) Frame or Combustible Exposed Exterior Walls

Install listed automatic window sprinklers in accordance with their listings Reduce by 75 percent

5.6 7 .2 Combustible Eaves.Combustible eaves, cornices, and other exterior ornamentation on exposed buildings should be treated as unprotected openings, in accordance with 5.6.1 .5.6 7 .3* Exposing Building.Where the exposing building or structure is protected throughout by an approved, properly maintained automatic sprinkler system or other approved automatic fire suppression system of adequate design for the hazard involved, no exposure hazard should be considered to exist.5.6 7 .4* Exposed Building.Where the exposed building or structure is protected throughout by anapproved, properly maintained automatic sprinkler system or other approvedautomatic fire suppression system of adequate design for the hazard involved, the exposure hazard to the total exposed building and its contents should be considered to be substantially reduced, depending upon the construction of the exterior wall.
