CAN/ULC 106:2015 (R2025) Standard Method for Fire Tests of Window and Glass Block Assemblies
PREFACE
This is the Third Edition of the Standard Test Method for Fire Tests of Window And Glass Block Assemblies, CAN/ULC 106.
This Edition of the Standard has been formally approved by the ULC Standards Committee on Fire Tests.
This Standard has been developed in compliance with the requirements of SCC for Accreditation of a Standards Development Organization.
Only metric SI units of measurement are used in this Standard. If a value for measurement is followed by a value in other units in parentheses, the second value may be approximate. The first stated value is the requirement.
Appendix A, identified as Informative, is for information purposes only.
In Canada, there are two official languages, English and French. All safety warnings must be in French and English. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some Canadian authorities may require additional markings and/or installation instructions to be in both official languages.
This Third Edition National Standard of Canada is based on, and now supersedes, the Second Edition.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this Canadian standard may be the subject of patent rights. ULC Standards shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Requests for interpretation of this Standard should be sent to ULC Standards. The requests should be worded in such a manner as to permit a “yes” or “no” answer based on the literal text of the requirement concerned.
This CAN/ULC 106 Standard is under continuous maintenance, whereby each revision is approved in compliance with the requirements of SCC for accreditation of a Standards Development Organization. In the event that no revisions are issued for a period of four years from the date of publication, action to revise, reaffirm, or withdraw the standard shall be initiated.
Comments or proposals for revisions on any part of the Standard may be submitted at any time. Proposals should be submitted via a Proposal Request in the Collaborative Standards Development System (CSDS) at https://csds.ul.com.
This Standard is intended to be used for conformity assessment.
SCOPE
1.1 This fire test method is applicable to window and glass block assemblies and other light transmitting assemblies, for use as closures in openings in walls and partitions that are fire separations in accordance to the National Building Code of Canada.
1.2 It is the intent that the tests made in conformity with this Standard will develop data to enable regulatory bodies to determine the suitability of window, glass block and other light transmitting assemblies for use in locations where fire protection of a specified duration is required. However, such tests shall not be construed as determining suitability of these assemblies for use after exposure to fire.
1.3 Glazing materials and assemblies evaluated for fire resistance shall be in accordance to the requirements in CAN/ULC-S101, Standard Method of Fire Endurance Tests of Building Construction and Materials.
