NFPA Standards Council Sides with EIMA on 285 Test
The EIFS Industry Members Association (EIMA) is pleased to announce the successful appeal to overturn revisions to add mandatory vertical and horizontal joints to NFPA 285 - the multi-story fire test for exterior walls.
"Our position has always been about the health and safety of the building, and making sure the test being used appropriately reflects what's being built in the field" said Dave Johnston, executive director for EIMA. "We commend the position of the NFPA Standards Council that clearly shows fire safety should guide these tests."
