13108.1
. The State Fire Marshal, in consultation with the Bureau of
Electronic and Appliance Repair, Home Furnishings, and Thermal
Insulation, shall review the flammability standards for building
insulation materials, including whether the flammability standards
for some insulation materials can only be met with the addition of
chemical flame retardants. Based on this review, and if the State
Fire Marshal deems it appropriate, he or she shall, by July 1, 2015,
propose for consideration by the California Building Standards
Commission, to be adopted at the sole discretion of the commission,
updated insulation flammability standards that accomplish both of the
following:
(a) Maintain overall building fire safety.
(b) Ensure that there is adequate protection from fires that
travel between walls and into confined areas, including crawl spaces
and attics, for occupants of the building and any firefighters who
may be in the building during a fire.
