Reaction to fire tests for building products - Building products excluding floorings exposed to the thermal attack by a single burning item
This document specifies a method of test for determining the reaction to fire performance of construction products excluding floorings, and excluding products which are indicated in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/364, when exposed to thermal attack by a single burning item (SBI). The calculation procedures are given in Annex A. Information on the precision of the test method is given in Annex B. The calibration procedures are given in Annexes C and D, of which Annex C is a normative annex.
NOTE This document has been developed to determine the reaction to fire performance of essentially flat products. The treatment of some families of products, e.g. linear products (pipes, ducts, cables etc.), can need special rules.

EN 13823:2020/FprA1 - Reaction to fire tests for building products (SBI)
Overview
EN 13823:2020 with draft amendment prA1 specifies the Single Burning Item (SBI) test method to determine the reaction-to-fire performance of construction products excluding floorings and products listed in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/364. The standard is developed by CEN/TC 127 and is intended primarily for essentially flat building products; some linear products (pipes, ducts, cables) may require special rules. Annexes provide calculation procedures (Annex A), precision data (Annex B), and calibration procedures (Annexes C - normative - and D).
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope and applicability
- Tests apply to building products excluding floor coverings and regulated exclusions per EU Delegated Regulation 2016/364.
- Mainly for essentially flat products; linear products may need adapted methods.
- SBI test method
- Exposure to a single burning item to assess flame spread, heat release indicators and smoke/combustion products.
- Test facility and instrumentation
- Amendments in prA1 clarify burner switch response time (9–12 s, determined in step calibration) and probe orientation (hemispherical probe opening should face incoming flow).
- For specimens mounted with an air gap, backing board for the long wing should be increased by the air-gap width.
- Calculation and reporting
- Annex A sets out calculation procedures; prA1 corrects formula notation and summation time intervals used in statistical calculations.
- Calibration and precision
- Annex C (normative) and Annex D cover calibration procedures; Annex B provides information on method precision.
Practical applications and users
- Manufacturers of cladding, façades, insulation boards, panel products and other building materials use EN 13823 to:
- Evaluate reaction-to-fire performance during product development.
- Prepare test evidence for regulatory compliance and product documentation.
- Test laboratories and certification bodies use the standard to perform and verify SBI tests, calibrate equipment and report results.
- Fire safety engineers, specifiers, building authorities and procurement teams rely on SBI test results for risk assessment, material selection and compliance under EU regulatory frameworks.
Related standards and context
- Developed by CEN (European Committee for Standardization); ties into EU reaction-to-fire regulatory requirements (see Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/364).
- Annex structure supports reproducible testing: calculation (A), precision (B), calibration (C - normative, D).
Keywords: EN 13823, SBI test, reaction to fire, building products, single burning item, fire testing, calibration, CEN, construction materials, Annex A, Annex B, Annex C.
