Penetration Firestop System Fire Tests as per ASTM E814
ASTM E814 evaluates the performance of a firestop system using a time-temperature fire test and a hose stream test. To be listed by the UL, the firestop system must pass both tests. Some building codes may require equal F and T ratings.

The time-temperature fire test measures how long the firestop system can keep the fire from spreading to the non-fireside of the test setup. The test is finished when the flame is on the non-fireside. Each fire fighting system is given two ratings:
ASTM E814’s second phase is the hose stream test. It determines the system’s resistance to an external force and integrity after fire heat exposure, as it is critical for the firestop system to function properly in harsh conditions.
ASTM E814 should be used in conjunction with other tests that assess other factors for a comprehensive fire risk assessment. Among these tests are the following:

ASTM E572 test method covers the analysis of stainless and alloy steels by Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (WDXRF). It provides rapid, multi-element determinations with sufficient accuracy to assure product quality.
The ASTM D2674 test is a standard test method for the analysis of sulfochromate etch solutions used in the surface preparation of aluminum. The ASTM D2674 standard specifies a method for determining the efficacy of an etchant used to prepare the surface of aluminum alloys for subsequent adhesive bonding.

ASTM G65 measures the resistance of metallic materials to abrasion using the dry sand/rubber wheel apparatus. The quality, durability, and toughness of the sample are determined using this test. Metallic materials are ranked in their resistance to scratching abrasion under a controlled environment.
ASTM E2141 test methods provide accelerated aging and monitoring of the performance of time-dependent electrochromic devices (ECD) integrated in insulating glass units (IGU). This test helps to understand the relative serviceability of electrochromic glazings applied on ECD.
