What are UL 723 and ASTM E84?
For example, Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) developed UL 723 (now called ANSI/UL 723) and the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) has adopted this UL test into its own standard as ASTM E84. This industry standard outlines the test procedure for evaluating surface burning characteristics of interior wall finish materials.
