INTERIOR FINISH CODE COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS
BRICKELL CITYCENTRE - MIAMI, FLORIDA
Dear Grace:
SLS Consulting, Inc. (SLS) has prepared this letter for Swire Properties and the
Brickell CityCentre project team in order to outline the required fire testing
requirements associated with furniture, fabrics, equipment and interior finishes within
the three (3) Brickell CityCentre blocks currently under construction (i.e. BCCW,
BCCE and BCCN). The intent of this letter is to assist the project team in proactively
identifying the minimum performance criteria and associated testing that will need to
be either demonstrated or completed as part of the project's certificate of occupancy
process.
The interior finishes are required to comply with the requirements outlined in the
2007 Florida Prevention Code (FFPC), which is an amended version of the 2006
Edition of NFPA 1, Uniform Fire Code and 101, Life Safety Code (FFPC).
This letter has been structured to outline the applicable interior finish code
compliance requirements and to summarize the associated testing required in order
to determine the fire performance of interior finished (e.g. flame spread, smoke
developed ratings, heat release rates, specimens sizes, etc.). It is recommended that
SLS Consulting , Inc. serve a third-party fire protection engineer responsible for
reviewing all submittals of the FF&E book(s) for the project.
