ASTM D 2898 Document Information:
Title
Standard Practice for Accelerated Weathering of Fire-Retardant-Treated Wood for Fire Testing
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Sep 15, 2009
Scope:
This practice addresses the durability of a fire-retardant
treatment of wood products by exposure to accelerated cycles of
wetting, drying, or ultraviolet (UV) exposure, or combination
thereof, prior to evaluation by a fire response test. Four
conditioning methods are described.
This practice is applicable to wood products that have been
treated with fire-retardant chemicals by pressure impregnation.
The test specimens are to be in the form of, or suitable for
fabrication into, test specimens, such as those described in Test
Methods E84, E108, and E1354 and other standard test methods for
evaluating the fire performance of fire-retardanttreated wood
products.
The text of these methods references notes and footnotes that
provide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes (excluding
those in tables and figures) shall not be considered as
requirements of these test methods.
The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as
standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical
conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and
are not considered standard.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety
concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility
of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
