Classification on the basis of extended application is not within the scope of this European Standard, however for extended application the same classes are used as specified in this European Standard.
Products covered by this European Standard are:
-   smoke control ducts;
-   smoke control dampers;
-   smoke barriers;
-   powered smoke and heat exhaust ventilators (fans), including connectors;
-   natural smoke and heat exhaust ventilators.
Relevant documents which include the relevant test methods which have been prepared for these products are listed in Clause 2.

Klassifizierung von Bauprodukten und Bauarten zu ihrem Brandverhalten - Teil 4: Klassifizierung mit den Ergebnissen aus den Feuerwiderstandsprüfungen von Anlagen zur Rauchfreihaltung

Diese Europäische Norm legt das Verfahren zur Klassifizierung von Bauteilen zur Rauch  und Wärmefreihaltung anhand der Ergebnisse von Feuerwiderstandsprüfungen entsprechend dem direkten Anwendungsbereich der zugehörigen Prüfverfahren fest. Die Klassifizierung auf der Basis des erweiterten Anwendungsbereichs von Versuchsergebnissen ist nicht Gegenstand dieser Europäischen Norm. Für die Klassifizierung auf der Basis des erweiterten Anwendungsbereichs werden jedoch die gleichen Klassen benutzt wie sie in dieser Europäischen Norm festgelegt sind.
Folgende Bauprodukte werden von dieser Europäischen Norm abgedeckt:
   Entrauchungsleitungen;
   Rauchschutzklappen;
   Rauchschürzen;
   maschinelle Rauch  und Wärmeabzugsgeräte (Ventilatoren) einschließlich deren Verbindungsteile;
   natürliche Rauch  und Wärmeabzugsgeräte.
Die für diese Bauprodukte entwickelten zugehörigen Prüfverfahren sind in den nach Abschnitt 2 aufgeführten Dokumenten enthalten.

Classement au feu des produits et éléments de construction - Partie 4 : Classement à partir des données d'essais de résistance au feu des composants de dispositifs de contrôle de fumée

La présente Norme européenne précise le mode opératoire pour le classement des composants de dispositifs de contrôle de fumées, à partir des données des essais de résistance au feu qui font partie du domaine d'application des méthodes d'essai applicables. Un classement établi sur la base d'application étendue ne relève pas du domaine d'application de la présente Norme européenne. Pour une application étendue, les mêmes classes sont toutefois utilisées comme spécifié dans la présente Norme européenne.
Les produits couverts par la présente Norme européenne sont :
   les conduits de désenfumage ;
   les volets de désenfumage ;
   les écrans de cantonnement de fumée ;
   les ventilateurs extracteurs de fumées et de chaleur, y compris les joints de connexion ;
   les dispositifs d’évacuation naturelle de fumées et de chaleur.
L'Article 2 donne les documents appropriés incluant la liste des méthodes d'essais applicables qui ont été élaborées pour ces produits.

(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). Further details relating to the practical application of this curve, and other test parameters e.g. tolerances, shall be as given in EN 1363-2. 4.4 Constant temperature attack In addition to the heating regimes given above, the evaluation of smoke barriers and smoke and heat exhaust ventilators is made using a notional constant temperature attack. The specified temperature and the rate at which the temperature is reached, is specified in the relevant test method. 4.5 Specific thermal actions 4.5.1 Smoke control ducts Multi-compartment ducts – standard temperature/time curve. Single compartment ducts – a constant temperature of either 300 °C or 600 °C, following the standard temperature/time curve up to the specified constant temperature. NOTE prEN 1366-9 does not include a test for assessing integrity at 300 °C. 4.5.2 Smoke control dampers Multi-compartment dampers – standard temperature/time curve. Single compartment dampers – a constant temperature of either 300 °C or 600 °C, following the standard temperature/time curve up to the specified constant temperature. NOTE prEN 1366-10 does not include a test for assessing integrity at 300 °C. 4.5.3 Smoke barriers A constant temperature of 600 °C, following the standard temperature/time curve up to the specified constant temperature.

°C, increasing the furnace temperature following a gradient as specified in EN 12101-2. NOTE
°C is an open class for special applications. 5 Resistance to fire performance characteristics 5.1 General The essential requirement ‘safety in case of fire’ of the Construction Products Directive requires the products covered in this standard to be assessed against specified characteristics. These include integrity, insulation, stability, smoke leakage and reliability. This clause provides the necessary details of each of the above characteristics. Where a characteristic may have more than one different definition or type of performance, later clauses identify which specific definition applies to which products. 5.2 Performance characteristics 5.2.1 E – Integrity Integrity E is the ability of a component of a smoke control system to prevent the transmission of fire as a result of the passage of significant quantities of flames or hot gases from the fire to the unexposed side, thereby causing ignition either of the non-fire exposed surface or of any material adjacent to that surface. The assessment of integrity is made on the basis of one or more of the following aspects simultaneously:  cracks or openings in excess of given dimensions;  ignition of a cotton pad;  sustained flaming on the non-exposed side;
