NFPA 259

NFPA 259 - Standard Flammability Test for Building Materials

Flammability testing plays a major role in safety when an engineer or construction team builds a structure. It's important to stay up to date with local and national fire codes so your materials can endure in harsh conditions and resist intense heat. If you work in a high-demand industry, you can test materials accurately with an NFPA 259 test. VTEC Laboratories offers NFPA 259 testing services for a wide range of materials and projects.

NFPA is the standard testing method to determine durability and heat resistance if you're working with new building materials. Manufacturers, fire protection engineers and other industry professionals rely on this test for reliability and accuracy.

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) is a long-standing organization known for its commitment to reducing property damage, injuries and death related to fire hazards. The organization has a massive list of codes for all types of applications, and these codes serve as standards for businesses and contractors all over the country.

This inspection method is common for foam plastic materials and other solid components that may be used to construct walls, floors and ceilings. By testing for NFPA standards and abiding by them, you can lower risks and stay in line with safety regulations.
