Help increase fire protection of roof decks by referencing the most current NFPA provisions for testing of roofing assemblies.

NFPA^® 276, Standard Method of Fire Test for Determining the Heat Release Rate of Roofing Assemblies with Combustible Above-Deck Roofing Components, provides information and guidance to help mitigate risks and help keep people and property safer. The standard describes a method for determining the heat release rate from below the deck of roofing assemblies that have combustible above-deck roofing components when they are exposed to a fire from below the roof deck.

NFPA 276 covers the following topics:

• Instrumentation specification
• Furnace verification and calibration
• Test specimens and conditioning
• Conducting tests
• Reporting of fire test results
