About the Testing Standard
The ASTM F-3059 standard was adopted to replace the USCG PFM 2-98 standard in 2015 as a way to qualify manufacturers of fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) gratings for use in the marine and shipbuilding industry. Phenolic resin is typically used in those environments with strict structural fire integrity requirements, where safety and performance must not be compromised.
