abstract="To judge existing fire test methods in use or those planned/proposed for use with exterior insulation and finish system (EIFS) products, a critical commercial/industrial accident scenario has been identified that involves storage adjacent to a building exterior having a 90-degrees corner. The heat flux environment expected in the assumed accident scenario, as determined from the FM Approvals 50-ft. (15.25-m) Corner Test, is not reproduced by existing EIFS test methods, since these mostly involve flames issuing from a window opening. In the current study, the experience gained from testing two EIFS products in the 50-ft. corner has allowed practical procedures for the categorization of EIFS products to be recommended.<p />",
