    The Class A fire rating is the most stringent standard available for building materials. It’s usually assigned to retardants that have a flame spread rating of between 0 and 25 during fire tests. Any material with this rating typically has a lower flame spread and a better performance rating than Class B or Class C material.

  6. The five classes of fire are: Class A Fire: Ordinary Combustible; Class B Fire: Flammable Liquids and Gases; Class C Fire: Electrical Equipment; Class D Fire: Combustible Metals; Class K Fire: Cooking Oils and Fats; Class A Fires: Ordinary Combustibles. Ordinary combustibles are the sorts of materials that you will often find around the house.

    www.ngctestingservices.com/blog/flame-spread

    What Is Flame Spread? Flame spread is the propagation of flame across the surface of a material. It’s measured by how fast the material burns and how far the flame spreads once ignited. Flame spread can be both vertical, traveling up a wall to a ceiling, and horizontal, traveling across a floor assembly.
