Dear Mr. Goodwin:
The following information is submitted in order that you may comply with the certification requirements for
the above project, wherein SPECTRA-GLAZE® prefaced concrete masonry units have been specified.
SPECTRA-GLAZE® units are tested by nationally recognized testing laboratories in accordance with the
requirements of Federal Specification SS-C-621b (2), Type I, Form B and ASTM C-744-73, both for prefaced
concrete masonry units. The most recent applicable tests were conducted by Froehling & Robertson, Inc. of
Richmond, Virginia, Hardwood Plywood & Veneer Association Laboratory and Testing Service of Reston, Virginia,
and South Florida Test Service, Inc. Units were submitted for testing in accordance with their requirements with
respect to configuration, size and color retention.
SPECTRA-GLAZE® block were found to comply with the above requirements as shown in Froehling &
Robertson Report dated March 23, 1995 and Hardwood Plywood & Veneer Association Report No. T-9267 dated
January 6, 1995, and South Florida #584,145 for "molded masonry building blocks and brick."
This is to certify that the glazing compound currenfiy sold by the Burns & Russell Company under
SPECTRA-GLAZE® trademark registration #643,804 for glazing compound, is of the same quality as the SPECTRA-
GLAZE® glazing compound that was used in manufacturing the SPECTRA-GLAZE® block tested in accordance with
the second and third paragraphs of this letter. The glazed block are labeled SPECTRA-GLAZE~aasonry units under
the trademark registration #584,145 for "molded masonry building blocks and brick."

PREPARED FOR:
The Burns & Russell Company
Baltimore, Maryland
TEST NUMBER T-9267
MATERIAL TESTED:

DATE OF ISSUE 01/06/95
I. SCOPE "
This report contains the reference to the test method, purpose, test proce~lure, rounding
procedures, preparation and conditioning el specimens, description Of materials, test and post
· ' test observation data, and test results. ,"
II. TEST METHOD
The test was conducted in accordance with ASTM Designation E 84, "Standard Test Method lor
Surlaoe Burning Characteristics ol Building Materials." The 25-Ioot tunnel method is also
described by NFPA No. 255 and UL No. 723.
III. PURPOSE
The purpose ol the test is to determine the relative performance of. the test.material under
standardized fire exposure. Results are given ior lieroe spread and smoke developed. The
values obtained lrom burning the test material represent a comparison with that of 1/4" inorganic
reinforced cement board expressed as zero and red oak llooring expressed as 100.
The !lame spread results of 25-1oot tunnel tests are lrequently used by building code oflicials and
regulatory agencies in the acceptance of interior finish material for various applications. The
most widely accepted classification system is epitomized by the National Fire Protection
Association Lile Salety Code, NFPA No. 101:
Class A* 0 - 25 flame spread 0-450 smoke developed
Class B' 26 - 75 ilame spread 0-450 smoke developed
Class C* 76 - 200 flame spread 0-450 smoke developed
*Class A, B and C correspond to I, II and III, respectively, in other codes such as UBC
and BOCA.
This flame spread classilication system is based on the premise that the higher the flame spread
numbers, the greater the fire spread potential. The actual relationship between the numbers
developed under this test and lite salety lrom fire has not been adequately established.
IV. TEST PROCEDURE NOTES
The !urnace was preheated to a minimum ol 150°F as measured by an 18 AWG thermocouple
embedded in cement 1/8" below the liDor surlace of the chamber, 23-1/4' from the centerline of
the ignition burners. The iurnace was then cooled to 105°F (.t. 5°F) as measured by a
thermocouple embedded 1/8" below the liDor sudace of the test chamber 13' from the !ire end.
Prior 10-minute tests with 1/4" inorganic reinlorced cement board provided the zero relerence for
flame spread. Periodic 10-minute tests with unfinished select grade red oak Ilooring provided for
the 100 reference for ilame spread and smoke developed as noted in Section III.
T/BP:3/94
A. Flame Spread
The flame spread distance is observed and recorded at least every 15 seconds or every
2 !eel ol progression. The peak distance is noted at the time of occurrence. The Ilame spread
distance is plotted over ljme. The total area under the flame spread distance-time curve is
determined; flame front recessions are ignored. The flame spread is then calculated as a
!unction of the area under the curve relative to the standard red oak C~urve area. The value for
flame spread classitication Ior the tested material may be compared with that of inorganic
reinlorced cement board and select grade red oak flooring.
B. Fuel Contributed
A time-temperature curve is developed by plotting the temperature measured by a
thermocouple located 23 leer + 1/2" Irom the centerline of the burner ports. The value for fuel
contributed is derived by calculating the net area under the curve for unlinished select grade
23/32" red oak flooring. ASTM E 84 has dropped fuel contributed from the standard; however.
some codes still reference other versions of E 84 and the HPVA is continuing to report it at this
time.
C. Smoke Developed
The smoke developed during the test is determined by the reduction in output ol a
photoelectric cell. A light beam vertically orlentated across the furnace outlet duct is attenuated
by the smoke passing through the duct. The output of the photoelectric cell is related to the
obscuration of the light source through the duct caused by the smoke. A curve is developed by
plotting photoelectric celt output against time. The value of smoke developed is derived by
calculating the net area under the curve lot the test material and comparing this area with the net
area under the curve lot unfinished select grade 23/34" red oak llooring.
V. FLAME SPREAD AND SMOKE DEVELOPED ROUNDING PROCEDURES
Single test calculated flame spread and smoke developed values are rounded to the nearest
multiple of 5 and reported as the Flame Spread or Smoke Developed Index. Actual test values
are available on request.
For multiple tests. the individual calculated flame spread and smoke developed values are
recorded, averaged, and the results rounded to the nearest multiple ol 5. The averaged. rounded
number is reported as the Flame Spread or Smoke Developed Ii~dex. . .,
vI. PREPARATION AND CONDITIONING OF TEST SAMPLES
Three or tour sections are generally used in the preparation of a complete test specimen which is
20-1/2" wide and 24' long. Materials 8' in length may be tested by using three sections 20-1/2"
wide by 8' long lor a total specimen length of 24'. A 14" lengt.h of uncoated 16 gauge steel sheet
is used to make up the remainder ol the test specimen; it is placed at the life end el the test
chamber. Test specimens are conditioned at a controlled temperature ol 73.4°F (t. 5°F) and a
controlled relative humidity ol 50 + 5 percent.

HPVA FLAME SPREAD PROPERTY VERIFICATION PROGRAM
The Hardwood Plywood & Veneer Association provides a product property verification program for flame
spread properties. This program is based on the selection and testing ol panels within a given marketing
line on the basis ol that combination ol factors that theoretically should give the highest flame spread
values. Such factors as panel thickness, specilic gravity, color of stain, type of lamination, sudace
texture, and product mix are taken into consideration In the selection of flame spread samples.
While it is standard procedure to include fuel contribution and smoke developed values in test report.s, the
HPVA label identifies only the llame spread class.
'1'he HPVA label is evidence that the marketing line has been tested and inspected in accordance with the
HPVA Flame Spread Inspection and Verilication Program Procedures.
'rhe HPVA label displayed below indicates conicfinance of the tested samples to the Type II glue bond
requirements as set lorth in HPVA HP-1 1993, Interim Voluntary Standard For Hardwood And Decorative
Plywood, and conicfinance to Flame Spread Class C (200 or less) as determined by the test procedures
described in ASTM E 84. Depending on the type of product, the label may also i.nclude, other information
such as structural and formaldehyde emission ratings.
