Abstract
Within the next decade, there will be great opportunities for the marketing of products whose fire performance exceeds current prescriptive standards. Constructed facilities will be allowed to meet broad safety objectives by a diverse array of approaches. Within this new paradigm, it will become feasible to utilize novel products whose functions transcend traditional categories if their contribution to fire hazard can be incorporated within determinations of overall fire safety design. Thus there will be a premium on NIST research into and FRCA members' development of advanced techniques for providing building products of low flammability and high functionality.Proceedings Title
