What is a widely recognized standard that addresses fireproofing materials?

The widely recognized standard that addresses fireproofing materials is UL 263. This standard, established by Underwriters Laboratories, specifically focuses on the fire-resistance ratings of building elements and assesses the effectiveness of fireproofing materials used to achieve these ratings. UL 263 sets forth the testing methods and criteria to evaluate how well certain materials can withstand high temperatures and prevent the spread of fire, ensuring that they meet necessary safety standards in construction.

In contrast, ISO 9001 is a quality management standard that applies broadly to organizations but does not specifically pertain to fireproofing materials. OSHA 1910 relates to occupational safety and health regulations but does not target fireproofing directly. ASTM D792 is a standard test method for density and specific gravity of plastics but does not focus on fire resistance or fireproofing applications. Therefore, UL 263 directly addresses the relevant aspects of fireproofing in building materials.
