Performance‐Based Approach for Classifying the Degree of Combustibility of Building Products

Fire and Materials, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 986-1013, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Managing fire behaviour of building products is crucial to provide fire safety. In North America, the classification of building products according to their fire risk is based on a binary system, with products designated as either noncombustible or combustible through a vertical tube furnace test.
