Thanks John - I figured it wouldn't be an easy ride! Can you point me in the right direction as regards discovering the polymeric weight and oxygen index of particular components?
Thanks again, Dave -----Original Message----- From: Jon Curtis [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, February 15, 2002 10:36 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Fire Resistance Database Analysis Hi Dave, I asked Verizon at the Las Vegas conference if they wanted a report from an independent source to support GR-78 compliance and they indicated at that time that they did not feel that was necessary. At Curtis-Straus, we routinely put together an assembly level flame database for every complete GR-63 report we produce. The Verizon checklist says that you need to provide it if they ask for it.
