CAN/ULC-S144-09

This Standard specifies a method of test and criteria for the determination of the fire resistance of grease ducts under standardized fire conditions. The requirements are intended to evaluate the ability of the grease duct to resist the spread of fire. This Standard also covers requirements to evaluate the ability of the duct to protect adjacent combustibles from igniting in the event of an internal grease duct fire. The grease ducts covered by these requirements are intended to be installed in accordance with the requirements in the National Building Code of Canada as pertaining to Commercial Cooking Equipment. This Standard does not include requirements for combustibility, the surface flammability and the smoke generation potential of the coverings or insulating materials used to protect the grease duct.
