Spread of flame for glazing

Is there a spread of flame characteristic for float glass? A BC officer has asked for confirmation of same from a professional glazing body. I never considered the matter before as I thought the required SOF classification for any type of glass would be met naturally. The glazing is just a decorative element in a restaurant so no fire resistance required.

    Without accelerant the surface spread of flame over a glass panel would be zero as glass is none combustible, however the surface coating and/or frame/panel holding the glazing in place would need a statement from the supplier/installer/manufacturer
