The method of test is specified to determine the ability of light fire storage units to protect paper media from the effects of fire. Two levels of fire exposure periods (LFS 30 P and LFS 60 P) are specified using the maximum temperature increase permitted within the storage space of the light fire storage unit. Requirements are also specified for the test specimen, the technical documentation for the test specimen, correlation of the test specimen with the technical documentation, preparation for type testing and test procedures. A scheme to classify the light fire storage units from the test results is also given (see Table 1). 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 1363-1:1999, Fire resistance tests — Part 1: General requirements EN 60584-1, Thermocouples — Part 1: Reference tables (IEC 60584-1:1995). 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 light fire storage unit storage unit designed to protect paper media, except for paper grades where data loss occurs at temperatures below 172°C, as well as valuables against the effects of temperatures up to 172°C NOTE A light fire storage unit can have doors, drawers, lids, connections and fittings. 3.2 compartment part of a light fire storage unit which can be closed with a separate door, lid or cover NOTE A compartment formed by inserting a shelf board is not a compartment within the meaning of this standard. 3.3 lock device which verifies an entered code and performs a blocking function on the boltwork or the door 4 Requirements, classification and locks 4.1 Light fire storage units shall provide protection against the effects of fire (see Clause 6) and be classified as specified in Table 1. SIST EN 15659:2009

Where LFS is the symbol applied for light fire storage units. NOTE 2
The numerical values in the protection level are the duration of fire exposure during the type test in minutes.
NOTE 3
P represents protection of data on paper, excluding those paper grades which lose data below 172ºC.
4.2 Light fire storage units shall be fitted with a lock. 5 Test specimen, technical documentation and correlation 5.1 Test specimen Of several models of a series (with one door, two doors, drawers, etc.) having the same design, protection and construction features (type and thickness of construction and protective materials, rabbet geometry, etc.) as well as the same base (with a tolerance of ± 15 % each applicable to the internal dimensions of width and depth), the models with the smallest and largest internal height resp. the lowest and highest number of drawers shall be tested.
Light fire storage units with double doors shall be regarded as a separate model range. Where a variety of locking options is available, the test specimen used in the type test shall be coordinated with the testing laboratory. Two identical light fire storage units shall be available: one for the fire endurance test, the other for verifying correlation of the filling material with the technical documentation. The testing laboratory shall decide which test specimen will be used for the type test. The test specimen shall be modified at its base for installing the measuring instrumentation (see 6.3.1 and Figure 2) and may have, but need not have a plinth. 5.2 Technical documentation of the test specimen Detailed technical documentation about the range and test specimen (drawings, specifications of materials, installation and processing advice) shall be submitted to the testing laboratory before the type test. The drawings shall give specifications as to height, width and depth of the test specimens, materials and their thicknesses, dimensions of rabbet edges, locking system, welds including the method of their execution, seals, etc. The mass of the plinth shall be given. Samples and detailed specifications of all heat protection materials and seals used in the test specimens shall accompany the test specimens. The date(s) on which the test specimens were filled with fire protection materials shall be given. NOTE 1 With reference to all heat protection materials, the technical documentation should include: a) quality control parameters, and b) details of the performance characteristics, or c) details of the constituent materials and processing methods.
The test specimens and the supplied technical documentation must correlate. As to mass, the two test specimens shall not differ by more than 10 %. In series production, the wall, ceiling and door thicknesses must not be below the specified minimum limit of the type-tested thickness by more than 3 %.
6 Test methods 6.1 Principle The fire endurance of the test specimen is assessed by heating in a furnace. During the type test the temperature in the interior of the test specimen is measured. 6.2 Test equipment 6.2.1 The furnace which must be capable of providing the uniform heating conditions specified in this standard, and constructed so that the four vertical walls of the test specimen can each be exposed to the same heating conditions with no direct flame impingement onto the test specimen. The distance between the interior walls of the furnace and the surface of the test specimen shall be ≥ 750 mm. The furnace conditions shall conform to EN 1363-1. To meet these conditions, the setting of the neutral pressure level shall be made in accordance with 6.2.2 and the measurement of the temperature in the interior of the furnace shall be made with instrumentation in accordance with 6.2.3. 6.2.2 The furnace shall be operated such that the neutral pressure level is reached after 5 min of firing, measured at ± 5 Pa 1,000 mm above the furnace base. Test specimens with an external height of > 1,000 mm shall be placed on the furnace base during the type test. Test specimens with an external height of ≤ 1,000 mm shall be positioned on a plinth of brick with a height of 500 mm. For pressure measurements, pressure measuring heads in accordance with 4.5.2 of EN 1363-1:1999 shall be used. NOTE In order to ensure consistent heating conditions, the width of the plinth area around the projected cross-sectional area of the test specimen should not exceed 200 mm. 6.2.3 Thermocouples of type K (NiCr-N
