What is NFPA 285?

NFPA 285 is the standardized procedure for fire testing of exterior walls when combustible materials, such as foam plastic continuous insulation, panels, and water-resistive barriers (WRBs), are components within the wall assembly.

The stringent test provides a specific method of determining the flammability characteristics of complete exterior, non-load-bearing wall assemblies/panels. Designed to emulate the actual fire-resistance performance of the wall assembly in a constructed building, NFPA 285 evaluates combustible components within wall assemblies for buildings required to be of non-combustible construction.
