However, doors and frames meeting these specifications may be used for the evaluation of individual components. 1.2 It is the intent that tests made in conformity with this test method will develop data to enable regulatory bodies to determine the suitability of door assemblies for use in locations where fire protection of a specified duration is required. However such tests shall not be construed as determining suitability for use after exposure to fire.
