(Practice)Standard Practice for Application of Sprayed Fire-Resistive Materials (SFRMs)
Standard Practice for Application of Sprayed Fire-Resistive Materials (SFRMs)
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
5.1 This practice is intended for use by the material specifier, general contractor, applicator, or any individual group requiring information regarding the application of SFRM.
5.2 This practice is not intended to replace the manufacturers' application instructions.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice covers guidelines for application of sprayed fiber and cementitious fire-resistive materials.
1.2 This practice is general in nature. It is not intended to cover all requirements for application.
1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. Specific precautionary statements are given in Section 10 and 14.1.2.

4. Summary of Practice
4.1 This practice describes the procedures for selecting, specifying, applying, and testing SFRM.
5. Significance and Use
5.1 This practice is intended for use by the material specifier, general contractor, applicator, or any individual group requiring
information regarding the application of SFRM.
5.2 This practice is not intended to replace the manufacturers’ application instructions.
6. Materials
6.1 The SFRM shall be either sprayed fiber or cementitious types. The material shall be manufactured in accordance with the
manufacturer’s specifications and quality control procedures. The material shall be free of any contamination that could impair its
performance.
7. Storage and Handling
7.1 All materials shall be delivered to the job site in clearly labeled, unopened bags. Labels shall include the manufacturer,
product name, surface burning characteristics of the product, and list of appropriate fire resistance classified assemblies in which
the product is a component.
7.2 Materials with a shelf life shall be used within that period. Materials that have gone beyond their shelf life shall be removed
from the job site, or manufacturer shall provide documentation attesting that the product is still usable for its original intended
purpose.
7.3 Materials shall be kept dry until used and stored off the ground under cover.
8. Equipment and Utilities
8.1 Equipment used for application shall be of a type recommended by the SFRM manufacturer. Equipment shall include, but
is not limited to: application machine, material mixer, material hoses, stand pipe, and spray nozzles.
8.2 The following utilities are typically provided by the general contractor: electricity, potable water, and lighting.
8.3 The following utilities may be needed depending upon job conditions and, if needed, shall be provided by the general
contractor:
8.3.1 Heating (see 12.1.1), and
8.3.2 Forced ventilation (see 12.1.2).
9. Fire Resistance Classifications
9.1 General—Required fire resistance classifications are outlined by building codes such as those published by BOCA,
4 5
SBCCI, ICBO and enforced by local authorities having jurisdiction. Required fire resistance classifications are determined by
construction type, occupancy, and location.
9.2 Architects and material specifiers shall indicate on construction drawings and in specifications the required fire resistance
classification(s) for a project. They shall also indicate what elements of that project are to be so protected. (See Note 1.)
NOTE 1—The architect and material specifier may indicate on construction drawings and in specifications a reference number for a fire resistance system
capable of providing the required protection.
10. Safety
10.1 Current OSHA, applicable local ordinances, or code regulations shall be followed at all times.
10.1.1 Equipment shall have safety guards that meet applicable OSHA regulations in place. Grounded electrical connections
shall be used.
10.1.2 Protective Equipment—All persons in the application area shall wear protective equipment as required. Examples of
equipment that may be needed are: respirators, dust masks, coveralls, goggles or safety glasses, and hard hats.
10.1.3 Workmen shall not wear loose fitting clothing that could become caught in the machinery. However, that personnel
actually spraying product may wear loose, long sleeve clothing for protection and comfort reasons.
