SUBMITTAL CHECKLIST
Does anyone use a checklist for which submittals and submittal types are required for individual items on a project? My plan is to provide a checklist for the design teams at the start of the project. If anyone else is doing this, what are you including as options, and does it work well with your teams?

NFPA 285 AND PLASTIC INSULATION
I have a wall assembly of 5/8" gyp board, 6" CFMF studs w/ 6" batt insulation, 1/2" exterior gyp board sheathing, 3" closed cell spray foam insulation, 1" airgap, and uninsulated metal siding. I was told I needed to apply intumescent coating to the spray foam insulation to pass NFPA 285. One of the reps I spoke to was surprised to hear that assemblies with EPS and XPS insulation do not require the intumescent coating. Spray foam, EPS, and XPS are all plastic insulation. Why don't EPS and XPS require intumescent coating to pass NFPA 285?
