CHAPTER 03 e Class 4 - Surface of rapid flame spread, This refers to surfaces on which the spread of flame exceeded the limit of Class 3, 13.4 Class of flame spread to be not lower than specified The surface of a wall or ceiling in a room/space shall be of a class not lower than specified as relevant in the Table 3.134, provided that Where an automatic sprinkler system is fitted throughout in the building in compliance with the requirements in Chapter 6, there is no control on the surface of flame rating in rooms/spaces, except for the following occupancies usage: (1) healthcare facilities, including hospital, and nursing homes for handicapped, disabled, aged or persons with mental and / or mobility impairments; ilities; and (2) detention fi (3) _ exit staircases, exit passageways and smoke-stop / fire lit lobbies. Where a building is not protected by an automatic sprinkler system, surfaces of the walls and ceilings can be of a surface class not lower than Class 3 to the extent permitted by C/.3.13.5a, and Cl.3.13.5b. respectively. If timber is used as the surface material for the walls along the side gangways of an auditorium which is not sprinkler-protected, the requirements of this regulation pertaining to the requisite class of flame spread can be relaxed only in respect of those parts of such wall surfaces provided the aggregate area of such parts does not exe: the auditorium. 3.13.8 Where class of flame spread can be of any class not lower than Class 3 Any part of the surface of a wall in a room or compartment can be of any class not lower than Class 3 if the area of that part (or if there are two or more such. parts, the total area of those parts) does not exceed the following (1) _ inthe case of a building or compartment of PG III, 20m’, or (2) imany other case, 60m? Any part of the surface of a ceiling can be of any class not lower than Class 3 if that part of the surface is the face of a layer of material the other face of which is exposed to the external air (skylight included) and complies with any one of the following: (1) The ceiling is that of a room in a building or compartment of PG IIL, IV, V or VIL, or is that of a circulation space excluding a smoke-stop lobb: exit staircase or exit passageway in a building or compartment of any purpose group, and 110 Structural Fire Precautions3.13.6 Exception @ GB) @ CHAPTER 03 (@) the area of that part does not exceed 2.5m; and (b) _ the distance between that part and any other such part is not less than 3.5m, The ceiling is that of a room in a building or compartment of PG VI ot VIII, and (@) the area of that part does not exceed Sm*; (b) the distance between that part and any other such part is not less than 1.8m; and (©) that part and all other such parts are evenly distributed over the whole area of the ceiling and together have an area which does not, exceed 20% of the floor area of the room. The ceiling is that of a balcony, verandah, open car porch, covered way or loading bay which (regardless of its floor area) has at least one of its longer sides wholly and permanently open. The ceiling is that of a garage or outbuilding which (regardless of whether it forms part of a building or is a building which is attached to another building or wholly detached) has a floor area not exceeding 40m? Wall and ceiling finishes in the form of thin sheet of not more than 1.0mm thickness mounted to a non-combustible substrate will not be subject to the requirement of surface spread of flame provisions, except for exit staircases and passageways. 3.13.7 Composite panel 3.14 3.141 Composite panel used as wall, ceiling or finishes shall comply with C/.3./5.13. ROOFS Roof construction a The surface of materials for roof covering and roof construction shall have a surface spread of flame rating not lower than Class 1, or Class A when tested in accordance with ASTM E108, except in the case of PG I and PG II, and in buildings that are protected throughout with automatic sprinkler system, ‘Composite panel used as roof covering shall comply with C1.3.15.13, Roof covering containing plastic shall comply C1.3.15.1%.(7) Structural Fire Precautions 111CHAPTER 03 Dd sir 8 FeO Tee Lid Sir $8 or) asso, Lid Sir $8 TaD, O50.
