Floor Maintenance to Avoid Fire Standard Citations
There’s a code for that! The city’s building code §27-351 and section 804.1 address compliance of interior floor finishes and fire standards. Interior flooring and coverings need to be easily identifiable by a label which identifies the manufacturer, supplier and style. Interior floor finishes in all exits must be constructed with noncombustible materials where required.
Interior floor finishes and coverings materials need to be Class I or II materials in accordance with NFPA 253 and ASTM E 648. Class I is 0.45 watts/cm2 or greater. Class II is 0.22 watts/cm2 or greater.
