comments, particularly on the question whether the CEN/TS can be converted into a European Standard.
CEN members are required to announce the existence of this CEN/TS in the same way as for an EN and to make the CEN/TS available
promptly at national level in an appropriate form. It is permissible to keep conflicting national standards in force (in parallel to the CEN/TS)
until the final decision about the possible conversion of the CEN/TS into an EN is reached.

Foreword
This Technical Specification (CEN/TS 15447:2006) has been prepared by Technical Committee
CEN/TC 127 “Fire safety in buildings”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This Technical Specification has been prepared by ad hoc working group 40 (“Mounting and fixing in
reaction to fire tests”) of Technical Committee CEN/TC 127 (“Fire safety in buildings”).
This document has been prepared on request of the CEC as support for CEN Technical Committees
involved in the production of technical specifications under the Construction Products Directive (CPD).
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the
following countries are bound to announce this CEN Technical Specification: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus,
Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland,
Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania,
Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.
Introduction
The Essential Requirements of the CPD apply to the construction works. Interpretative documents
have been produced to form a link between the Essential Requirements and the performance
characteristics of construction products incorporated in a permanent manner in construction works, i.e.
in end-use application . The Essential Requirement concerned in this document is “Safety in case of
fire”, and from that requirement the reaction to fire performance of construction products only is
considered.
Technical specifications under the CPD, such as product standards, deal with construction products
and their reaction to fire performance. For the assessment of reaction to fire performance the
technical specifications use a set of supporting fire standards through reference to the classification
standard EN 13501-1.
Five reaction to fire test methods have been developed for the purpose of testing construction
products, including products incorporated within building elements. The procedure for classification is
outlined in EN 13501-1 providing a choice of Euroclasses. Since EN ISO 1182 (“non-combustibility”)
and EN ISO 1716 (“gross calorific potential”) deal with material characteristics and are thus
independent of the end-use application of the product, the mounting and fixing instructions presented
apply to EN 13823, EN ISO 9239-1 and EN ISO 11925-2.
Technical specifications refer to EN 13501-1 for the assessment of reaction to fire performance. The
EN 13501-1 refers to the five supporting test standards for determination of the relevant parameters.
In principle a product standard should not refer directly to the test standards. However, where
EN 13501-1 and the test standards do not fully define the mounting and fixing of a product in a test,
the relevant product standard may add instructions to ensure that the test result is representative of
the product behaviour in one or more end-use applications when exposed to a fire in the relevant fire
scenario.
In the absence of standard mounting and fixing rules, a test result is only valid for the end-use
application that is represented by the mounting and fixing (and other test configuration aspects) used
in the test . As a consequence all other end-use applications have to be tested. EN 13501-1, test
standards and substrate standard EN 13238 contain some aspects of standardised mounting and
fixing, to some degree limiting the number of tests to be performed to classify a product, which can
lead to CE-marking. To limit the number of tests further, standardised mounting and fixing test
arrangements may be introduced in the technical specifications. This may reduce the number of m&f
test arrangements needed to cover all possible end-use applications to a few or even one.
A reaction to fire test method may in principle be used to assess the performance of (a) a material; (b)
a product (a combination of one or more materials) without taking into account the incorporation of the
product in the building; or (c) a product in its end-use application (i.e. taking into account the
incorporation of the product in the building).
This frame work should be used by technical specification writers to develop further specific rules for
product groups.
In some documents “end-use application” is used as a global indication of the use of the product (e.g. use as
wall lining or ceiling lining). The more detailed description of the way the product is incorporated in the building in
the (global) “end-use application” is then referred to as “end-use condition” (including e.g. jointing, fixing and
position in relation to adjacent products).
In this document the two terms are both covered by “end-use application”, in line with the definition given in EN
13501-1.
In this document “mounting and fixing” is often abbreviated as “m&f”.
When direct field of application rules are defined it should read “only valid for the direct field of application of
the test results”.
1 Scope
This guidance document is intended to provide basic rules, which are generally valid for the mounting
& fixing of construction products in the reaction to fire test standards EN 13823, EN ISO 9239-1 and
EN ISO 11925-2 which are referred to in the classification standard EN 13501-1. The mounting &
fixing rules are intended to ensure that the reaction to fire test results in these tests are representative
of the product behaviour in one or more end-use applications when exposed to a fire in the relevant
fire scenario.
This document contains for each of the test methods the compulsory rules (given in EN 13501-1,
EN 13238 and the relevant test standard) and recommendations for groups or (
