3M Envision Overlaminates 8548G, 8549L, 8550M: 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.
Every rating on file
| Standard | Result | Specimen mounted on | Evidence basis | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ASTM E84 | Reports referenced by the bulletin for 8548G and 8550M; no index printed in the document | — | Not published | 3M Product Bulletin GP-1 — graphic protection products (Envision overlaminates 8548G / 8549L / 8550M) |
| UL 410 (slip resistance) | 8550M classified slip-resistant, average static coefficient of friction above 0.50 — recommended for floor graphics | Walkway surface test, not a flame test | Tested | 3M Product Bulletin GP-1 — graphic protection products (Envision overlaminates 8548G / 8549L / 8550M) |
The bulletin points to E84 reports for 8548G and 8550M in the online catalog rather than printing numbers; we did not obtain those reports, so no index is published here. 8550M's slip certification is a different standard entirely.
What to hand a fire marshal
- UL 410 (slip resistance) (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.
- ASTM E84 (Not published): there is no published result to hand over — request the current certificate for your product and lot from 3M before the install date. The current bulletin states no fire result and refers the question to 3M or the online catalog. Absence of a number in the document is not a failing grade — it means you must request the certificate for your lot.
