Ch.7 Building Regulations And Codes Flashcards
Hey care of that has been written by a group comprised of expert knowledgeable in the field, without reference to any particular geographical area
A model code
What does a product received when a complete and total product is successfully tested
 listed label
Another type of label that means that samples of the product were tested for certain types of uses only
Classified label
Uses high-pressure hose stream to stimulate how well the assembly stands up to the impact from falling debris and the cooling in a writing effects of water
Hose stream test
Test and write the surface of burning characteristics of interior finishes in other building materials by testing, in an arrow test chamber, a sample piece with a controlled flame at one end
Steiner tunnel test
A number representing the amount of smoke generated as a material burns in the test chamber
smoke developed index
What is the most fire resistant product
Class a
Text a sample of carpet in the normal horizontal position and measures the flame spread in a corridor or exit way that is under the influence of a fully developed fire and adjacent space
Flooring radiant panel test
What two material classes are defined by the flooring radiant panel test
Class one and class two
A test that is required for all carpet sold and manufactured in the United States. It has sample of the carpet is placed in a draft protected cube and held in place with a metal plate with a 8 inch diameter hole. A timed methenamine pill is placed in the center and lighted. If the sample burns to within 1 inch of the metal plate, it fails the test
Methenamine pill test
UL listed devices installed in ducks in air transfer openings that are designed to restrict the passage of smoke
Smoke dampers
A wall assembly with fire resistance of one hour
Fire partition
A vertical or horizontal assembly that is fire resistant rated and is designed to restrict the spread of fire, confined fire to a limited area, and a Ford safe passage for protected egress
Fire barrier
A continuous vertical or horizontal membrane with a minimum fire resistance rating of one hour, designed to construct to resist the movement of smoke
 smoke barrier
What is group a occupancy
Assembly
What is Group B occupancy

Factory and industrial
What is Group H occupancy
Hazardous
What is group I occupancy
Institutional
What is group M occupancy
Mercantile

What is group S occupancy
Storage
What is group u occupancy
Utility
How do you space a room that is ancillary to the main occupancy but does not exceed 10% of the floor area
Accessory occupancy
Ancillary to the main occupancy and has the same classification is the nearest mean occupancy but poses a greater level of risk to that occupancy
Is it a no use area
Used to describe any fire alarm fire extinguishing divisor system that is designed and installed to detect, control, or extinguish a fire, or to alert the occupants for the fire department that has a fire has occurred or any combination of these
Fire protection system
A quarter inch thick wired glass in steel frames, or other types of glazing that meet the requirements of in FPA252, standard methods of fire test of door assemblies
Fire protection rated glazing
Glass or other glazing material that has been tested as a part of the fire resistance rated wall assembly
Fire resistance rated glazing
A component whose function is to prevent falls from the elevated area
Guard
What is the minimum height of a guard
42 inches high and design such that its fear with 4 inches in diameter cannot pass through any opening up to a height of 36 inches
Material that will ignite and burn, either as a flame or glow, and that undergoes this process in air at pressures and temperatures that might occur during a fire
Combustible
And it’s simply have a fire door, fire window, or fire damper, including all required Anchorage, frames, sells, and hardware
Fire assembly
A resistance rated vertical or horizontal assembly of materials designed to restrict the spread of fire and which openings are protected
Fire barrier
A fire resistive component used to separate dwelling units in our two construction, guest rooms, or one construction, and tenant spaces in covered mall building; they are also used as corridor walls. Fire partitions generally are you required to have a minimum of one hour protection rated construction except in certain circumstances. They are similar to fire barriers, but requirements for support or not a strict
 fire partition
The period of time an opening assembly, such as a door window, can contain a fire or maintain its integrity, or both, when tested in accordance with NFPA 252 for doors. And assembly that requires a fire protection rating must with stand for exposure and thermal shock as wooden assembly that required a fire resistance rating, but it need not withstand heat transfer mission as well as, columns, and floors do
Fire protection rating
Glazing with either a fire protection rating or a fire resistance rating
Fire rated glazing
 The property of a material or simply to a standard resist the spread of fire or give protection from it
Fire resistance
If you heard of time a building components such as a wall, floor, roof, beam or column can find a fire and maintain it structural integrity, or both when tested in accordance with the codes. This is different from the fire protection rating, which involves protected openings assemblies
Fire resistance rating
Should not be used as a noun. As an adjective, it should only be used as a modifier with define compound terms such as fire retardant treated wood
Fire retardant
The ability to withstand flame in pigment or gift protection from it. Surprised individual materials as well as combinations of components when tested with
Fire resistance
Should not be used as a noun. As an adjective, it should only be used as a modifier with defined compound terms such as flame retardant treatment
Flame retardant
The propagation of flame over a surface
Flame spread
The numerical value assign to a material tested in accordance with the building codes
Flame spread index
Capable of burning with a flame and subject to easy ignition and rapid flaming combustion
Flammable
Material that will not ignite and burn one subject to a fire. The IVC classified material is this only if it is tested in accordance with the codes at 750°C, or if it has a structural base of non-combustible material with a surfacing not more than 1/8 inch dick that has a flame spread index no greater than 50
Noncombustible
Includes picture molds, chair rails, baseboards, handrails, door and window frames, and similar decorative or protective materials used in fixed applications
