    This document summarizes ASTM E814, which provides a standard test method for evaluating the fire resistance of penetration firestop systems. It describes how penetration firestop systems are tested by exposing samples to a standard time-temperature fire curve and hose stream test to determine their F and T ratings. These ratings indicate the systems' ability to prevent the spread of fire and maintain temperature rise on the unexposed side. Successful testing results in a test report and potential certification listing of the system's fire resistance ratings.

    ASTM E814: Fire Tests of Penetration Firestop

    Systems
    Standard: ASTM E814 – Fire Tests of Penetration Firestop Systems
    Certification Required: The International Building Code requires that Penetration Firestop
    Systems be listed in Section 714. Additionally, enrollment in a certification and listing
    program offers many advantages in terms of product marketing, ease of system specification,
    clarity of system application, ease of documentation and installation inspection, etc.
    Scope: This test method is used to determine the performance of a firestop system with
    respect to exposure to a standard time-temperature fire test and a hose stream test. The
    performance of a firestop system is dependent upon the specific assembly of materials tested
    including the number, type, and size of penetrations and the floors or walls in which it is
    installed. Two ratings shall be established for each firestop system. An F rating shall be based
    upon flame occurrence on the unexposed surface, while the T rating shall be based upon the
    temperature rise as well as flame occurrence on the unexposed side of the firestop system.
    These ratings, together with detailed performance data such as the location of through
    openings and temperatures of penetrating items are intended to be one factor in assessing
    performance of firestop systems.
    Applicable Products: Firestop Systems. Systems that provide protection when mechanical or
    electrical systems penetrate through or into rated fire-separating elements such as walls and
    floors. Generally, these firestop systems consist of multiple materials designed, tested and
    certified as an assembly. Materials can often include mineral wools, ceramic wools, sealants,
    caulks, grouts, tapes, intumescent wrap-strips, intumescent foam blocks, cast-in-place
    devices, etc.
    Test Procedure: A supporting construction is fabricated to represent the building element or
    elements to be penetrated by the firestop system to be assessed. This supporting
    construction can contain one or several various firestop systems. The supporting construction
    element, containing the various firestop systems, is installed abutting or on top of the
    appropriate test furnace.  Test instrumentation will vary based on the nature of the firestop
    sample under test and its specific penetrants and will usually include numerous unexposed
    side thermocouples per firestop to monitor critical features. The furnace is operated to
    expose the sample to the prescribed time temperature curve for the desired period of
    exposure, or until the applicable criteria have been exceeded. A positive furnace pressure
    environment is maintained during the exposure. A standard fire hose water stream exposure
    is required and may be conducted on a duplicate sample.
    End Result: Determination of the time-based T-Rating and F-Rating for each firestop system,
    as required by code. A comprehensive test report will be issued at the end of the conclusion
    of testing. If certification is chosen, the Listing Report and application Design Listings will be
    created and published following successful testing. Both the test report and Design Listings
    will include the achieved T-Rating and F-Rating.
