Ed, Be nice to give you a definitive answer but the way products evolve I would be remiss. DryVit ( http://www.dryvit.com/home/default.asp) is one if not the largest manufacturer of EFIS, also referred to as "Outsulation". Bottom line the manufacturer will need to provide the test data.

Obviously this stuff can be very nasty. Is it safe to say that ALL EIFS systems are combustible, or do I have to look at them on an individual basis?

Whether it's limited-combustible (or not) can have big impact while wading through sections 8.15.1 and 8.15.7. I've been searching on-line and haven't found a definitive answer. I've seen the stuff used as the ceiling on exterior canopies (such as a bank drive-through) and exterior entryways.
