Metal Roof Deck Panels
Metal Sales Manufacturing Corporation has obtained fire resistance ratings for various products
conducted according to test criteria set forth by 'Underwriters Laboratories' "Standard Fire Tests
of Building Construction and Material" (ANSI/UL 263). This test procedure is identical to ASTM
E-119 and NFPA 251.
The fire resistance rating is for the total assembly and not just the external metal panel. Ratings
are expressed in hours and vary depending upon the assemblies. In general, the test criteria is to
evaluate the assembly's ability to continue to support the superimposed loads and resist the pas-
sage of flame, high temperatures, or hot gases which will ignite combustible materials. The test
assemblies are identified by an alpha-numeric design number.
For detail information on specific assemblies and hourly ratings see UL Fire Resistance Directory.
