Specifically, this <br />requires the modules, mounting hardware <br />and roof covering to be tested together as <br />a system to ensure they achieve the same <br />fire rating as the original roof covering. <br />These new requirements are being adopted <br />throughout the country in 2016. <br />IronRidge Certification <br />IronRidge was the first company to <br />receive a Class A Fire Rating—the highest <br />possible rating—from Intertek Group plc., a <br />Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory. <br />IronRidge Flush Mount and Tilt Mount <br />Systems were tested on sloped and flat <br />roofs in accordance with the new UL 1703 <br />& UL 2703 test standards. The testing <br />evaluated the system’s ability to resist <br />flame spread, burning material and <br />structural damage to the roof. <br />Refer to the table below to determine the <br />requirements for achieving a Class A Fire <br />Rating on your next project. <br />Test Setup <br />Solar Modules <br />Solar modules are given a Type <br />classification based on their <br />materials and construction. <br />Mounting System <br />Mounting is tested as part of a <br />system that includes type-tested <br />modules and fire-rated roof covering. <br />Roof Covering <br />Roof covering products are given a <br />Fire Class Rating of A, B or C based <br />on their tested fire resistance. <br />A burning wooden block is placed on module as a fan blows at 12 mph. <br />Flame cannot be seen on underside of roof within 90 minutes. <br />Burning Brand Test <br />Flame at southern edge of roof is aimed up the roof as a fan blows at 12 <br />mph. The flame cannot spread 6 feet or more in 10 minutes. <br />Spread of Flame Test <br />Fire Testing Process <br />System Roof Slope Module Fire Rating* <br />Flush Mount <br />Any Slope Type 1, 2, & 3 Class A <br />Tilt Mount <br />≤ 6 Degrees Type 1, 2, & 3 Class A <br />*Class A rated PV systems can be installed on Class A, B, and C roofs. <br />8431 Murphy Drive <br />Middleton, WI 53562 USA <br />Telephone: 608.836.4400 <br />Facsimile: 608.831.9279 <br />www.intertek.com <br />Test Verification of Conformity <br />ThisVerificationisfortheexclusiveuseofIntertek'sclientandisprovidedpursuanttotheagreementbetweenIntertekanditsClient.Intertek'sresponsibilityandliabilityare <br />limitedtothetermsandconditionsoftheagreement.Intertekassumesnoliabilitytoanyparty,otherthantotheClientinaccordancewiththeagreement,foranyloss,expense <br />ordamageoccasionedbytheuseofthisVerification.OnlytheClientisauthorizedtopermitcopyingordistributionofthisVerification.
