Using fire proof interior finish materials in buildings is very effective for fire safety, and the CNS 6532 test is adopted in Taiwan to evaluate the fire performance of such materials. According to the CNS 6532 Surface Test and Building Code, materials should be tested at their end use. In practice, fire proof materials may be attached to another material which has not passed the safety requirements. This study investigates whether, in such cases, the substrate will influence the fire performance of the surface wall lining materials. The effect after attaching a substrate was studied experimentally, using the surface (CNS 6532) and cone calorimeter (ISO 5660) tests. Our data show that, in the surface test, the exhaust temperature did not increase and the backing temperature decreased due to some heat transfer to the substrate. The ranking of the materials did not change, except that for the calcium silicate board, due to burning through. In the cone calorimeter tests, a lot of heat was released after 10 minutes, which led to a lower fire performance ranking. Therefore, the influence is apparatus-dependent due to differences of heating behavior and specimen size. |
