STANDARDS, TESTS, AND APPROVALS
Surface Burning Characteristics (ASTM E-84): All panel components have a Flame Spread rating of less than 25.
Note: Building code requirements may necessitate composite panel testing based on specified finish. A panel comprised of "Class A" (Flame Spread of 25 or less) components does not necessarily produce a composite panel meeting the "Class A" requirement. Decoustics has a considerable number of composite panel tests on file.
Acoustical Data (ASTM C423, Type A Mounting as per ASTM E795): Panels tested with 3/16” (5 mm) clip mounting.
