CAN ULC-S124-06 PDF Download

CAN ULC-S124-06 is a standard method of test that focuses on evaluating the effectiveness of protective coverings for foamed plastic materials. The main purpose of this test is to assess the temperature transmission performance of a protective covering when exposed to a standardized fire condition, as outlined by the standard time-temperature curve.

These protective coverings, known as thermal barriers in the National Building Code, aim to prevent the rapid spread of fire by acting as an insulation layer over the foamed plastics. It is important to note that the classifications determined by this standard reflect the overall performance during a specific period of exposure and should not be considered as an indication of suitability for use after fire exposure.

Lastly, this version of the standard, CAN ULC-S124-06, replaces the previous edition, CAN4-S124-M85 (R2000), signifying the updated and improved guidelines for evaluating protective coverings for foamed plastic materials.
