The International Building Code (IBC) contains a variety of fire safety provisions regarding the use of foam plastic insulation and foam plastic insulating sheathing. Building code requirements for these important insulation materials and their different uses include several fire performance tests for these insulation materials and assemblies where they are used (for example, steel-framed exterior walls). The specific scope of testing required is both prompted and influenced by the details of a project, the configuration of the assembly, and where the foam plastic is located within the assembly. This course is intended to provide attendees with an understanding of the various fire performance testing requirements, what prompts and influences them, and where to locate the relevant provisions in the IBC.
