Metl-Span CleanSeam™ Wall and Ceiling Panels with Joint Weld/Seam ASTM E84 and NFPA 286 Results

Note 1: The above assembly has been evaluated and found compliant for use as Class A interior finish as outlined in the International Building Code Section 803.1.1 Interior Wall and Ceiling Finish Materials (or Section 803.1 on some code editions), and complies with Section 803.12 Stability (or Section 803.3 on some code editions).

The above assembly has been permitted to use alternate materials. Testing of assemblies incorporating the alternate materials shows the assembly maintains a Class “A” rating when alternate materials are used. The alternate materials include: Crane Kemlite 0.090” (embossed) Class” A” FRP, Glasteel 0.090” (embossed) Class “A” FRP, Crane Kemlite 0.075” (unembossed) Class “A” – FM FRP, and Crane Kemlite 0.075” (unembossed) Class “A” FRP.
Per Engineering Evaluation TJ4082, alternate joint sealants with a Class “A” rating are permitted to be used on CleanSeam™ panels.
The above assembly has been evaluated and found compliant for use as interior walls and ceilings in single story buildings of Type I, II, III, and IV construction per Chapter 26 of the International Building Code for use without a code prescribed thermal barrier per testing in accordance with Section 2603.9 Special Approval (or Section 2306.10 on some code editions).

This assembly is not evaluated for fire-resistance rated wall applications.

Metl-Span CleanSeam™ Wall and Ceiling Panels with Weld/Seam CAN/ULC S102 and CAN/ULC S138 Results:

Note 2: The above assembly has been evaluated and found compliant for Protection of
Foam Plastic in Combustible Construction as outlined in Section 3.1.4.2 of the 2015
National Building Code of Canada (NBC).

The above assembly has been evaluated and found compliant for Factory Assembled
Panels for use in Non-Combustible Construction for buildings that are sprinklered, < 18 meters high, have no Group A Group B or Group C major occupancies, with the panel having no air spaces, as outlined in Section 3.1.5.7 of the 2015 NBC and where panels are used in application where flame spread ratings required are ≤ 10.

This assembly is not evaluated for fire-resistance rated wall applications.
