9 Products classified in a given class are deemed to satisfy all the requirements of any lower class for the same test method/fire hazard scenario. The classes with their corresponding fire performance are given in Table1. 5 Test methods 5.1 General The four test methods given in ENV 1187 are those to be used for classification purposes for roofs/roof coverings. The selection of the tests to be carried out is specified in 6.3. The classification parameters, the classes and the corresponding criteria are specified in Clauses 8 and 9. 5.2 Test 1: Method with burning brands The test evaluates the performance of a roof under the conditions of thermal attack with burning brands. The performance includes the fire spread across the external surface of the roof, the fire spread within the roof and the fire penetration. 5.3 Test 2: Method with burning brands and wind The test evaluates the performance of a roof covering under the conditions of thermal attack with burning brands and additional wind. The performance includes damaged length both on the roof covering and in the substrate. 5.4 Test 3: Method with burning brands, wind and supplementary radiant heat The test evaluates the performance of a roof under the conditions of thermal attack with burning brands, additional wind and radiant heat. The performance includes the external fire spread and the fire penetration. 5.5 Test 4: Two stage method incorporating burning brands, wind and supplementary radiant heat The test evaluates the performance of a roof under the conditions of thermal attack with burning brands, wind and radiant heat. The performance includes the external fire spread and the penetration by fire. 6 Principles for specimen preparation, testing and classification 6.1 General requirements for specimen preparation Before testing, the test specimens shall be prepared and conditioned and, where relevant, mounted in accordance with the relevant test method and product standards or other technical specifications. The external fire performance of a roof/roof covering includes such aspects as external and internal fire spread, external and internal damage, fire penetration and the occurrence of flaming droplets or debris. The external fire performance of a roof/roof covering therefore does not only depend on the burning behaviour of the exposed surface, the roof covering, but also on the influences of several components of the roof, such as the nature and thickness of insulating layers and vapour barriers together with their supporting elements. It may also depend on the systems of attachment of all components, e.g. glued or mechanically fastened. Therefore, the test specimens shall be representative, in all details of practical application with regard to: SIST EN 13501-5:2006

11 6.4 Specific requirements 6.4.1 General Each test specifies a series of standard specimen compositions and test conditions covering a wider field of direct application. The number of specimens to be prepared as well as the number of tests to be carried out depends on the envisaged field of application of the classification. Variables are the pitch of the roof, the deck and/or substrate applied for the test and the inclusion of joints. 6.4.2 Test 1 6.4.2.1 General Tests to be carried out are chosen to cover the envisaged field of direct application according to 6.4.2.5. 6.4.2.2 Pitch The standard test pitches are 15° and 45°. Tests may also be done at the actual intended pitch. 6.4.2.3 Nature of the deck The standard supporting decks for tests are specified in ENV 1187: a) wood particle board deck, constructed from planks 250 mm wide × 16 mm thick, density (680 ± 50) kg/m³ with plain edges and tightly but jointed so that gaps between planks do not exceed 0,5 mm; b) deck from wood particle board planks as under a) with plain edges with gaps of (5,0 ± 0,5) mm; c) deck of 10 mm thick reinforced calcium silicate board, dry density (680 ± 50) kg/m3; d) trapez
