The PPC Guide to Class 1 & 0 – Fire Upgrading Systems
The Warrington Blue Board has become the standard test substrate upon which all fire-upgrading coating systems are tested. The board is a multi layer painted test substrate used for assessing the performance of fire upgrading coating systems to simulating real life scenarios where surfaces may have had numerous redecorations. When ignited, it is designed to illustrate a worst case scenario in terms of combustibility and rapid spread of flame.
