3M Scotchcal Translucent 3630: fire rating
Every fire result 3M publishes for this film, the substrate the specimen was mounted on, and whether each rating is a test of this product. Best evidence basis across its rows: Tested — the basis is per row, so read the standard beside it.
These are 3M's published results, not our testing. For a permit or a fire marshal, request the current certificate for your product and lot. Nothing here replaces the authority having jurisdiction's approval. We install film; we do not certify it.

What to hand a fire marshal
- ASTM E84-95 (Tested): the report cited in that row tests this product to that standard — hand it over when that standard is the one the fire marshal asked for (a slip or EU test does not answer an ASTM E84 request). A named third-party report tests this exact product.
