Fire resistance tests for non-loadbearing elements - Part 4: Curtain walling - Part configuration
This European Standard specifies a method for determining the fire resistance of parts of curtain walling incorporating non-fire-resistant infilling product, e.g. glazing. It examines the fire resistance to internal and external fire exposure of:
spandrels, including downstand, upstand or the combinations thereof,
the horizontal linear gap seal and
the fixings used to attach the curtain walling to the floor element.
The test method includes an assessment regarding falling parts that are liable to cause personal injury.
This European Standard does not cover over-cladding systems and ventilated façade systems on external walls. It does not deal with the reaction to fire behaviour of curtain walling.
This standard can also be used to determine fire resistance of parts of curtain walling to increase the field of application when previously tested to EN 1364-3.
This standard is intended to be read in conjunction with EN 1363-1 and EN 1363-2.
NOTE Annex A gives informative guidance on the principles of testing parts of curtain walling and the test method.
Feuerwiderstandsprüfungen für nichttragende Bauteile - Teil 4: Vorhangfassaden - Teilausführung
Diese Europäische Norm legt die Anforderungen an die Prüfung der Feuerwiderstandsfähigkeit von Bestandteilen von Vorhangfassaden, welche nichtfeuerbeständige Ausfachungen, z. B. Verglasungen, beinhalten, fest. Es wird die Feuerwiderstandsfähigkeit bei interner und externer Brandbeanspruchung
- von Brüstungen, unter Einschluss von Schürzen, aufgeständerten Brüstungen oder deren Kombinationen
- der horizontalen Anschlussfugenabdichtung und
- der Befestigungen zum Anschluss der Vorhangfassade an das Deckenelement
geprüft.
Das Prüfverfahren beinhaltet eine Bewertung bezüglich herab fallender Teile, welche Personenschäden verursachen könnten.
Diese Europäische Norm deckt Fassadenbekleidungen und hinterlüftete Fassaden nicht ab. Sie befasst sich nicht mit dem Brandverhalten von Baustoffen der Vorhangfassaden.
Diese Norm kann auch zur Erweiterung des Anwendungsbereichs von Bestandteilen von Vorhangfassaden, die bereits nach EN 1364-3 geprüft wurden, verwendet werden.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt zusammen mit EN 1363 1 und EN 1363-2.
ANMERKUNG Anhang A beinhaltet Hinweise zu den Prüfgrundlagen für Vorhangfassaden und zum Prüfverfahren.
Essais de résistance au feu des éléments non-porteurs - Partie 4: Façades rideaux - Configuration partielle
La présente Norme européenne spécifie une méthode de détermination de la résistance au feu des parties de façades rideaux contenant du produit de remplissage non résistant au feu, par ex. du vitrage. Elle étudie la résistance au feu à l’exposition interne et externe :
- des éléments de remplissage, dont allège, imposte ou la combinaison des deux ;
- du calfeutrement linéaire horizontal ; et
- des fixations utilisées pour attacher la façade rideau à l’élément de plancher.
La méthode d’essai comporte une évaluation concernant les parties qui tombent qui peuvent provoquer des dommages corporels.
La présente norme européenne ne couvre pas les systèmes de bardage et les systèmes de façades ventilées sur des murs extérieurs. Elle ne traite pas la réaction au comportement du feu des façades rideaux.
La présente norme peut également servir à déterminer la résistance au feu de parties de façades rideaux afin d’élargir le domaine d’application lorsqu’elles ont été préalablement soumises à l’essai conformément au prEN 1364-3.
Il est essentiel de lire la présente norme conjointement avec l’EN 1363-1 et 1363-2.
NOTE L’Annexe A donne des conseils informatifs sur les principes et la méthode d’essai de parties de façade rideau

WARNING
The attention of all persons concerned with managing and carrying out this fire resistance test is drawn to the fact that fire testing can be hazardous and that there is a possibility that toxic and/or harmful smoke and gases can be developed during the test. Mechanical and operational hazards can also arise during the construction of the test elements or structures, their testing and disposal of test residues. An assessment of all potential hazards and risks to health should be made and safety precautions should be identified and provided. Written safety instructions should be issued. Appropriate training should be given to relevant personnel. Laboratory personnel should ensure that they follow written safety instructions at all times.

4.2 Furnace configuration For the installation of the specimen, wall or floor furnaces shall be modified, if necessary, to accommodate the three-dimensional construction. The three dimensional construction includes the horizontal linear gap seal. The test according to EN 1364-4 is performed on a three-dimensional specimen to allow an exposure of a number of surfaces of the upstand/downstand (spandrel area) and incorporates a standard floor, which provides the support for the curtain wall. The lining of the furnace closure shall comply with EN 1363-1 or may consist of aerated autoclaved concrete with a density of 400 to 550 kg/m3. 4.3 Supporting floor A supporting floor is provided as a base for the attachment of the fixings and as a location for the horizontal linear gap seal under examination. If information on the fire resistance of the curtain walling in conjunction with a particular type of floor construction is required, such a construction shall be used, see 7.2. SIST EN 1364-4:2007

For standard configurations see Annex B. All design features which influence fire performance shall be included. Where the width of a single spandrel panel (upstand/downstand) is less than 3 m, at least 3 panels with the mid panel at the maximum dimension shall be incorporated in the test specimen. Where the width of the panel is greater than or equal to 3 m, at least 3 panels with the mid panel at the maximum dimension and the side panels at least 50 cm wide shall be incorporated in the test specimen.
