3 Definitions
For the purposes of this part, the definitions given in EN1363-1, ISO 13943, EN 1634-1, prEN 1634-2
and EXAP prEN 15269-1 together with the following apply:
3.1
coniferous
wood or tree of the order of coniferales, typically bearing cones and needle-like leaves
3.2
core

4 Determination of the field of extended application
4.1 General
4.1.1 Before there can be any consideration for extended application the doorset must have been
tested and classified in accordance with EN1634-1 and EN 13501-2 respectively in order to establish
a classification for the doorset.
4.1.2 Evaluation to a higher classification is not possible.
4.1.3 All evaluations shall be made on the basis of retaining the classification obtained from testing
to EN1634-1.
4.1.4 If, by following the ensuing procedure, any part of the classification cannot be achieved by
extended application theory, that element of classification shall be omitted from the subsequent
extended application report and classification report.
4.2 Procedure for Evaluation
4.2.1 Identify the variations from the original test specimen(s) which are required to be covered by
an extended application report.
4.2.2 Locate the variations in the appropriate parameter variation by reference to columns (1) and
(2) of annex A.
4.2.3 Review the type of classification to be retained from column (3) and establish from the
contents of column (4) whether any extended application is available beyond the direct application
rules in EN 1634-1 without the need for further testing.
4.2.4 Where this is deemed to be possible this can be recorded in the extended application report
together with any appropriate restrictions and the stated rules from column (4).
4.2.5 Where the variations required can only be achieved from additional testing, the additional test
can be made on a similar specimen type (e.g. single-leaf doorset) to the original test against which the
extended application is sought. Alternatively, column (5) identifies an option for alternative testing and
relevant test parameters.
4.2.6 It is a requirement of this document that all items of building hardware are in accordance with
the relevant product standard and that the door assembly onto which the building hardware will be
fitted is appropriate to that class of use. When considering a change in a parameter of building
hardware, the effect on the durability of self-closing must be considered.
4.3 Procedure for maximum field of extended application
4.3.1 It is possible to provide an entended field of application from a single test. However, where a
manufacturer envisages to manufacture a range of doors incorporating single doors and also double
doors with or without side, transom or over panels, with or without glazing, louvres or ventilation grilles,
with alternative element of builders building hardware, etc., it is recommended that careful
consideration is given to the complete range of doorset designs and options in order to minimise the
testing required before testing commences.
4.3.2 Establish all the parameter variations which are required to be part of the product range, and
in particular for single leaf hinged or pivoted timber based doorsets into rebated frames.
4.3.3 Determine which are the most important specification requirements and incorporate as many
as possible into the specimen(s) for the first tests in the series.
4.3.4 Complete the first test or a series of tests and prepare a field of direct application and a
classification report from the results of the test(s).
4.3.5 Establish which of the original desired parameter variations have not been covered by the
direct application classification report.
4.3.6 Identify these parameter variations in annex A and establish if any extended application is
possible without further testing.
4.3.7 Record this for the extended application report together with any restrictions and rules given
in column (5).
4.3.8 Evaluate which, if any, of the desired parameter variations have not been covered by the field
of direct application or the initial field of extended application derived from 4.3.6. above.
4.3.9 Determine if the product range is to include only single leaf doorsets or if the range is to also
include double leaf configurations. Where only single doorsets are to be part of the product range then
the outstanding construction parameter variations shall only be incorporated into specimens for the
single leaf doorset. Where single leaf and double leaf doorsets are to be included in the product range,
the outstanding construction parameter variations for the extended application of single leaf doorsets
may be incorporated into either repeated single leaf doorset tests or in the weakest option double leaf
doorset configurations.
4.3.10 Select the required outstanding parameter variations from column (1) and column (2) of
annex A and observe from column (5) which are the most appropriate weakest specimen options for
further testing.
If the complete selection of required parameter variations have not been covered by the tests
completed in accordance with 4.3.9 and 4.3.10 above, then an appropriate test or tests may be
repeated with the additional product variations incorporated.
4.4 Interpretation of Test Results
4.4.1 In order to maximise the field of extended application, it is important that the test reports shall
record details of any premature integrity and/or insulation failure.
4.4.2 Where a series of tests have been conducted, the field of extended application shall be based
on the lowest performance achieved from the complete series of tests unless premature failure has
been attributed to one or more specific construction parameter variation.
4.4.3 Where it has been possible, to identify specific parameter failures, the extended application
for all other construction parameter variations can be based on the performance achieved after
isolating the premature failure(s).
5 Extended application report
5.1 Prepare an extended application report in accordance with the requirements of Clause 5 of
EXAP prEN 15269-1, based on the results of evaluations in accordance with the above.
6 Classification report
6.1 The classification report shall be determined from the results of the extended application report
and presented in accordance with EN 13501-2.

Annex A
(normative)
Construction Parameter Variations
This table is designed to be used by competent experts in the field of fire resistance testing of hinged
or pivoted doorsets with timber based leaves.
The table shall only be used to evaluate a field of extended application when at least one positive fire
resistance test to EN 1634-1 has resulted in a classification according to EN 13501-2.
The first two columns identify possible variations to the construction details of the specimen tested.
The type of classification achieved from the test can be identified as the ‘Type’ section of column 3 as
insulated, radiation control or integrity only. For some parameters, it is necessary to evaluate whether
the specimen displayed a high, medium or low level of distortion during the test. Where this is the
case the following levels should be used to provide high, medium and low distortion doorsets as
measured using the maximum relative movement at any position between the edge of the door leaf
and door frame or between the meeting edges of door leaves or the relative movement of the framing
members for panelled systems from the start of the test at any time during the complete required
classification period (suggested measuring positions are given in EN 1634-1):
 low <40 % of effective rebate depth
 medium >40 % and <85 % of effective rebate depth
 high >85 % of effective rebate depth
The effect of the change in each parameter is evaluated for each characteristic in column 3 under E
for effects on integrity, I for effects on insulation (whether an I or I class) and W for the effects on
1 2
radiation control for EW doors.
These evaluations lead to the judgement of the possibility of the extension of the field of application
the results of which are given in column 4. In certain cases in Column 4, it is a requirement to acheive
Category B, the requirements for this are given in EN1634-1.
Where additional tests are deemed to be necessary the type of specimen approved for incorporation
of the changed parameter is defined in column 5. Where it is possible to use information from tests
performed on one configuration for evidence on a different configuration , this allowance has been
made in order to reduce the overall number of tests required for extended application evaluation e.g.
single action doorsets to double action doorsets
In order to maximise the possible field of extended application from a minimum number of tests the
parameter changes have been spread over a series of test specimens. The recommended tests for
each parameter are dependant on the classification required and the preferred options.
In all cases following the evaluation, the relationship between the leaf and the frame (e.g. gaps) must
remain the same as must the relationship between intumescent material and the faces and/or edges
of the leaf i.e. the distance between the edges of the intumescent material and the leaf face must not
change, nor must the distance between the intumescent material and the leaf edge.
