Extended application of results from fire resistance tests for service installations - Part 1: Ducts
This European Standard identifies parameters that affect the fire resistance of ducts for ventilation purposes. It also identifies the factors that need to be considered when deciding whether, or by how much a parameter can be extended either positively or negatively when contemplating the fire resistance on an untested variation in the construction.
This European Standard, where applicable, gives guidance on additional tests that are needed to extend the field of application.
The European Standard gives the principles behind how a conclusion on the influence of specific parameters/constructional details relating to the relevant criteria (E, I, S) can be achieved.
This European Standard only applies to ducts tested to EN 1366-1. Duct sections for use other than in fire resisting heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are not covered by this European Standard. It does not cover ducts used for smoke control which are tested in accordance with EN 1366-8 or EN 1366-9.

Overview
EN 15882-1:2011/FprA1:2017 is a European Standard developed by CEN that focuses on the extended application of results from fire resistance tests specifically for ducts used in ventilation systems. It provides a framework to understand how various parameters affect the fire resistance classification of ducts and offers guidance on when and how test results can be extrapolated to untested variations of duct construction. This standard applies exclusively to ducts tested according to EN 1366-1 and excludes ducts used for smoke control or other purposes covered under EN 1366-8 and EN 1366-9.
Key Topics
Parameters Influencing Fire Resistance
EN 15882-1 identifies critical parameters that impact duct fire resistance, such as insulation thickness, material density, and construction type. These variables affect the essential fire resistance criteria:- E (Integrity) – Preventing fire passage
- I (Insulation) – Limiting temperature rise
- S (Smoke leakage) – Restricting smoke penetration
Single Variable Duct Systems
Defines a concept where all components are identical except for one variable parameter (e.g., insulation thickness). This is crucial for extending test results across a range of similar duct configurations.Extension Rules for Testing
The standard introduces rules to optimize testing efforts, including:- Omitting certain test scenarios (like vertical duct A) when prior data proves consistent best performance.
- Identifying worst-case fire exposure directions in ducts (particularly for fire-from-inside scenarios, "Duct B") to minimize redundant testing for intermediate parameter values.
Additional Tests Guidance
When extending fire resistance classifications, the standard advises on necessary additional tests that verify whether extrapolation is valid and reliable.
Applications
EN 15882-1 supports manufacturers, testing laboratories, and fire safety engineers by:
Achieving Comprehensive Fire Resistance Classifications
Enables accurate, evidence-based extension of fire resistance ratings to untested duct variations, reducing redundant testing costs and time.Designing Fire-Safe HVAC Systems
Helps engineers ensure duct assemblies in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems meet stringent fire performance standards.Supporting Regulatory Compliance
Assists in meeting European and international fire safety codes by providing standardized test evaluation methods for duct systems.Improving Fire Safety in Buildings
Facilitates the selection of duct components that maintain integrity, insulation, and smoke control during fire incidents to protect occupants and property.
