UL 1296:2007 PDF Download

UL 1296:2007 is a standard that addresses the requirements for ceiling materials used in the construction of manufactured homes. The purpose of this standard is to evaluate the performance of ceiling materials such as mineral and fiberboard, gypsum wallboard, or other similar materials when attached to a roof truss or rafter system using specific fastening methods.

It is important to note that this standard does not cover the thermal, acoustical, flammability characteristics, or other properties of these ceiling materials. Instead, it focuses solely on the shear resistance of the materials when subjected to specific loads.

In cases where a product deviates from the features, characteristics, components, materials, or systems outlined in the standard and presents a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to individuals, additional evaluations and requirements may be necessary to ensure the safety of the product.
