3. Materials used in the car interior (walls, ceiling, floor) must meet certain
ASTM standards for Flame Spread and Smoke Development; this includes
paint and glue for carpeting. See attached matrix. In addition, the subfloors in
many existing elevators have a lot of “give” due to the age of the wood in the
subfloor. Therefore, VCT is not always a good re-flooring solution. Johnsonite
Roundell Rubberized tile (http://www.johnsonite.com) is a good alternative
solution to VCT that meets the required flame spread and smoke development
requirements.

service so that the system can be bypassed. Once the fireman’s service key is
