Note 1: Ceiling measurement only. This measurement is conducted through determination of flame spread index and smoke developed index with the removal of any contribution of molten materials ignited on the floor of the tunnel assembly.
Note 2: Classification is for interior finish. As core is EPS foam plastic insulation, this material is not intended for interior surface exposure, and is not provided a “Class” rating, as this core is required protected by a code prescribed thermal barrier.
TechPanel™ EPS foam plastic core component has a spontaneous ignition temperature ≥ 650oF when evaluated in accordance with ASTM D1929.

Note 1: TechPanelTM installation includes adhered and nailed top and double sill lumber plates, with lumber plates
glued into TechPanelTM. Plates are connected to code compliant slab and floor assemblies.Note 2: TechPanelTM connections to slab and floor lines are required as part of Engineering Design for site and are outside the scope of this report. See manufacturer’s installation instructions.
Note 3: TechPanelTM resistance to anticipated service loads, including but not limited to axial capacity, racking shear, and seismic are to be determined in accordance with the applicable code and are to be part of the Engineering Design for site approved by the authority having jurisdiction.
Note 4: TechPanelTM requires installation of a code complying water-resistive barrier and exterior cladding in accordance with the applicable code. Connection details for the exterior cladding are required part of the Engineering Design for site.
Note 5: DP = Design Pressure, determined in accordance with TAS 202 static pressure evaluation with a factor of safety of 1.5 applied, and subsequent TAS 203 cyclic evaluation.
