No Such Thing As A Class 0 Lacquer?! New CD Explains | 17 Jan 2007 |
A CD-rom which aims to take the stress out of specifying intumescent wood coatings has just been launched by wood finishing market leader Becker Acroma.
The CD contains information on BS476 Part 6 and Part 7; the real meaning of Class 0 and Class 1; explanations of what the tests involve, with a video highlighting the difference between fire retardant and non-fire retardant coatings; plus information on Becker Acroma's new PyroLac range of wood coatings.
Mike Willis of Becker Acroma says, "We have developed this CD to help clarify some of the uncertainties and fallacies which arise when specifying fire retardant and flame resistant wood coatings. For instance, there is no such thing as a Class 0 lacquer - the Class 0 test result relates to the complete system that was tested, which also means there can be no cover-all certificate."
With the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2006 coming into force, this is a critical time for specifiers to get things right.
Mike continues, "Fire safety legislation is ever-changing and increasing, so we hope that this CD will prove very useful in reducing the difficulties for specifiers."
