Fire classification of construction products and building elements - Part 2: Classification using data from fire resistance tests, excluding ventilation services

This European Standard specifies the procedure for classification of construction products and building elements using data from fire resistance and smoke leakage tests which are within the direct field of application of the relevant test method. Classification on the basis of extended application is outside the scope of this European Standard. For extended application, however, the same classes are used as specified in this European Standard.
This European Standard deals with:
a)   loadbearing elements without a fire separating function:
walls;
floors;
roofs;
beams;
columns;
balconies;
walkways;
stairs.
b)   loadbearing elements with a fire separating function, with or without glazing, services and fixtures:
walls;
floors;
roofs;
raised floors.
c)   products and systems for protecting elements or parts of the works
ceilings with no independent fire resistance;
fire protective coatings, claddings and screens;
d)   non-loadbearing elements or parts of works, with or without glazing, services and fixtures:
partitions;
facades (curtain walls) and external walls;
ceilings with independent fire resistance;
fire doors and shutters and their closing devices;
smoke control doors;
conveyor systems and their closures;
penetration seals;
linear joint seals;
service ducts and shafts;
chimneys.
e)   wall and ceiling coverings with fire protection ability.
f)   lift landing doors which are tested according to EN 81-58 are excluded from this European Standard. Lift landing doors which are tested according to EN 1634-1 are classified in accordance with 7.5.5.
Relevant test methods which have been prepared for these elements are listed in Clause 7.

is the time from the start of the test in minutes (min); T
is the mean furnace temperature in degrees Celsius (°C). NOTE Further details relating to the practical application of this curve and other test parameters, e.g. tolerances, are given in EN 1363-1. 4.3 The slow heating curve (smouldering fire) The smouldering fire test shall only be used if it is expected that the fire resistance performance of the element may be reduced by exposure to temperatures associated with the growth stage of a fire. It is, therefore, particularly relevant to elements whose performance may be dependent upon high heating rates below approximately 500 °C (as provided during the standard temperature/time curve) for achievement of their classifications (i.e. mainly reactive or intumescent products). The slow heating curve is given by the following relationship: for 0 < t ≤ 21 T = 154t0,25 + 20 for t > 21 T = 345 log10 (8(t-20) + 1) + 20 where t
is the time from start of test in minutes (min); T
is the mean furnace temperature in degrees Celsius (°C). NOTE Further details relating to the practical application of this curve, and other test parameters e.g. tolerances, are given in EN 1363-2.

NOTE Further details relating to the practical application of this curve, and other test parameters e.g. tolerances, are given in EN 1363-2. 4.6 Constant temperature attack In addition to the heating regimes given above, the evaluation of some elements shall be made using a notional constant value of temperature. The specified temperature depends upon the type of element. The rate at which this temperature is achieved is specified in each relevant test standard. The following temperatures shall be used for the elements indicated: 20 °C for evaluating the leakage rate of smoke control doors at ambient temperature; 200 °C for evaluating the leakage rate of medium temperature smoke control doors; 500 °C for evaluating the fire performance of raised floors; 1 000 °C for evaluating soot fire resistance of chimneys and chimney related products. 5 Resistance to fire performance characteristics 5.1 General ID2 requires the assessment of the characteristic loadbearing capacity and/or integrity and/or insulation.
