03/07/2017 FIRE INSP - STATE LICENSE Denied 2012 IFC Table 803.3 - Interior Wall and Ceiling Finish Requirements by Occupancy. A Classroom in a non-sprinklered 'E' occupancy shall have wall finish that meets Class 'C' requirements for smoke and flame spread. The 2012 IFC 803.1.1 Classification in accordance with ASTM E84 (Steiner Tunnel Test), states that a Class 'C' interior wall finish must meet a flame spread index of 76-200 and a smoke development index of 0-450.
1) Research of our records indicates that the carpet used on these classroom walls was approved in 1986 by the city of Tucson and can be found in the attached printed copy of 'Room Finish Schedule' - A.1 (attached). The code in use at the time of the classroom improvement approval was the 1982 UBC in which Table 42-B required E occupancies to have a wall finish material with a Maximum Flame Spread Classification of III on any classroom walls. Table 42 - A of the 1982 UBC states that a class III finish material has a Flame Spread Index of 76 - 200 which is the same of a Class 'C' material's rating in the 2012 IFC. Therefor it is determined that the interior finish was approved and is in legal existence.

2012 IFC 807.1.2 Combustible decorative materials. The permissible
amount of decorative materials meeting the flame propagation performance criteria of NFPA 701 shall not exceed 10 percent of the specific wall or ceiling area to which it is attached.

2012 IFC 703.2 Opening protectives. Opening protectives shall be maintained in an operative condition in accordance with NFPA 80. Where allowed by the fire code official, the application of field-applied labels associated with the maintenance of opening protectives shall follow the requirements of the approved third-party certification organization accredited for listing the opening protective. Fire doors and smoke barrier doors shall not be blocked or obstructed, or otherwise made inoperable. Fusible links shall be replaced promptly whenever
fused or damaged. Fire door assemblies shall not be modified.
1) There are several fire doors to classrooms that are missing self-closing devices. You shall replace/repair the closing devices with UL listed fire closing hardware.
2) You shall remove all materials that are attached to the fire doors.
Any doors that have been altered by holes for screws for attached items

damage or physical impact. Extension cords shall be used only with portable appliances.
