Fire Testing of Roof-Mounted Solar Collectors by ASTM E 108
A study was undertaken to investigate the use of ASTM E 108 (NFPA 256, UL 790), Fire Tests of Roof Coverings, for testing roof-mounted solar energy collectors. The ASTM E 108 test method is commonly referenced in building codes as the procedure for determining the fire resistance classification of roof coverings. To date, no data have been available regarding the influence of solar collectors on the fire characteristics of roof coverings or on collectors used as roof coverings. This study focuses primarily on class C intermittent flame, spread of flame, burning brand tests, although several class A and B burning brand tests were conducted.
