Specification Testing

FM Approvals’ specification-testing program tests a product for a single performance characteristic, such as flame spread, to a standardized industry test. The program relies on the same procedures used in our certification process but concentrates on the measurement and reporting of only one attribute.

The results may be used by building code officials, architects or designers, to confirm compliance to a recognized standard.
