Interior finishes, trim and decorative materials
Operative Text
Interior finish materials for acoustical correction, surface insulation and decorative treatment on the surfaces of walls and ceilings and interior trim shall be of materials that will not, in burning, give off excessive amounts of smoke or objectionable gases.
Section 103-22 of North Collins, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 103 establishes a performance standard for interior finish materials used on walls and ceilings — including acoustical, insulation, and decorative treatments as well as interior trim. The rule prohibits the use of materials that, when burning, produce excessive smoke or harmful gases. This is a fire-safety and occupant-protection standard focused on the combustion behavior of interior surfaces.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 103-22 of the North Collins Code, compliant property operators select interior finish materials — such as wall panels, ceiling tiles, insulation, and decorative trim — that meet the provision's smoke and gas emission limits during combustion. Operators generally document product specifications and safety data sheets for materials used in covered spaces to demonstrate that selections satisfy this performance standard. Keeping records of material choices and any applicable fire-rating certifications supports ongoing compliance with ch. 103.
