Limitations:
G.L.1. This Certification covers the fire propagation characteristics of a non-load-bearing exter
wall cladding system when evaluated against the ANSI/NFPA 285-2012 Edition. The wall
cladding assembly has been evaluated for fire propagation characteristics as specified in the
following”
(a) The ability of the wall assembly to resist flame propagation aver the exterior face af
the wall assembly";
(b) The ability of the wall assembly to resist vertical flame propagation within the
combustible components from cne story to the next";
(0) The ability of the wall assembly to resist vertical flame propagation over the interior
surface of the wall assembly from one story to the next’; and,
(4) The ability of the wall assembly to resist lateral flame propagation from the
compartment of fire origin to adjacent compartments or spaces’
C.1.2. This Certification covers the performance of the non-load-hearing exterior wall cladding
system when exposed to fire from an interior room that reaches fleshover, breaks exterior
windows and exposes the building facade. It is not intended to address fire exposures that
originate from the building's exterior’,
CA.3. This Certification covers the non-load-bearing exterior wall cladding system in its entirety,
individual components that comprise the wall cladding system (on their own) are not covered
under this certification,
G14, The actual field installetions of the nor-load-bearing exterior wall cladding system covered
under this certification shall not limit the use of the methods and materials employed to seal
the gap between the edge of the floor slab and the interior surface of the test specimen
during the test, provided approved sealing methods and materials are used in the field’
