13 General 13.1 Results shall be reported in accordance with the performance in the tests prescribed in these test methods. The report shall show the performance under the desired exposure period chosen from the following: 20-minute, 30-minute, 3/4-hour, 1-hour, 1-1/2-hour, 3-hour, or 4-hour. 13.2 The report shall include the temperature measurements of the furnace, including their deviation from the specified time-temperature curve and, if determined, of the unexposed side of the test assembly. See 6.1. 13.3 The report shall also contain a record of all observations having a bearing on the performance of the test assembly. Oxygen percentage readings as recorded in 7.7 shall be included in the test report in either tabular or graphic format. 13.4 Any flaming on the unexposed surface of the assembly shall be recorded. 13.5 The amount of movement of any portion of the edges of the door adjacent to the door frame from the original position shall be recorded. See Conditions of Acceptance, General, Section 14, and Specific, Section 15. 13.6 The materials and construction of the door, frame, and wall or partition, and the details of the installation, hardware, door frame and wall anchors, trim, finish, and clearance shall be recorded or appropriately referenced to provide positive identification or duplication in all respects. 13.7 Pressure measurements made in the furnace and the location of such measurements relative to the neutral plane of the door assembly and the plane at the top of the door assembly are to be recorded.
14 General 14.1 A door assembly shall be determined to comply with the requirements for performance when it remains in the opening during the Fire Endurance Test, Section 11, and the Hose-Stream Test, Section 12, within the limitations specified in 14.2. 14.2 The test assembly shall withstand the Fire Endurance Test, Section 11, and the Hose-Stream Test, Section 12, without developing openings anywhere through the assembly. Exception No. 1: For assemblies with a fire exposure period of 1-1/2 hours or less, dislodging of small portions ofglass, as specified in 15.14 and 15.15, bythe hose stream is permitted. Exception No. 2: Separation between meeting edges of pairs of doors within the limits specified in 15.5 and 15.6 is permitted. Exception No. 3: An opening between the bottom edge ofa doorand sill within the limits specified in 9.3 is permitted. 14.3 An opening for the purpose of the requirement in 14.2, is defined as a through-hole in the assembly that is capable of being seen from the unexposed side when viewed from the direction perpendicular to the plane of the assembly at the location of the suspected opening. 15 Specific 15.1 No flaming shall occur on the unexposed surface of a door assembly nor shall the sample permit the passage of hot gases sufficient to ignite the cotton pad. Exception No. 1: Sustained flaming ofless than 10 seconds duration is permitted. Exception No. 2: After 30 minutes, intermittent light flaming [not greater than 6 in (152 mm) long, nor burning forperiods exceeding 5-minute intervals, along the edges ofdoors]is permitted.
