Online News--Papers Needed for ASTM Symposium on Firestopping
Papers are invited for a Symposium on Firestopping, sponsored by ASTM Committee E05 on Fire Standards and E06 on Performance of Building Construction. The symposium will be held Dec. 6, 2004, in Washington, DC, in conjunction with the Dec. 5-8, 2004, standards development meetings of Committee E05.
The objectives of the symposium are to: (1) focus attention on firestopping products and assemblies testing, installations and standards; (2) provide rationale for current full-scale and intermediate scale fire testing, perimeter joint testing and smoke testing; (3) identify new opportunities based on product performance, system capabilities via smoke resistance and movement capabilities; and (4) investigate application of international standards for development of new standards.
