CAN ULC-S106-15 PDF Download

The CAN ULC-S106-15 standard specifies the requirements for testing the fire resistance of window and glass block assemblies. It is specifically designed for use as closures in openings in walls and partitions that are considered fire separations according to the National Building Code of Canada.

The purpose of this standard is to provide data to regulatory bodies for determining the suitability of window, glass block, and other light transmitting assemblies for use in locations where fire protection of a specified duration is required. However, it is important to note that the test results obtained from this standard should not be construed as determining the suitability of these assemblies for use after exposure to fire.

In order to evaluate the fire resistance of glazing materials and assemblies, this standard requires compliance with the requirements outlined in CAN/ULC-S101, which is the standard method for fire endurance tests of building construction and materials. This ensures that the glazing materials and assemblies meet the necessary fire resistance criteria.
