Introduction
The classification of the reaction to fire performance of construction products established by
Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/364 defines the reaction to fire classes for building products
excluding floorings. The relevant test methods for determining the reaction to fire are being
prepared by CEN/TC 127.
Safety warning
The attention of all persons concerned with managing and carrying out the tests described in this
document is drawn to the fact that fire testing can be hazardous and that toxic and/or harmful
smoke and gases can be produced during the test.
An assessment of all potential hazards and risks to health should be made and safety precautions
should be identified and provided. Smoke and gases should be removed from the workplace.
Written safety instructions should be issued. Appropriate training should be given to relevant
personnel. Laboratory personnel should ensure that they follow written safety instructions at all
times.
Special precautions are required for the propane gas supply system.
— The equipment, for example tubes, couplings, flow meters, should be approved for propane.
— The burner should be equipped with a remote-controlled ignition device, for example a pilot
flame or a glow wire. There should be a warning system for leaking gas and a valve for
immediate and automatic cut-off of the gas supply in case of extinction of the ignition flame.
The pilot flames can be ignited directly by an operator in the test room, however, no one
should be present in the test room during ignition of a burner.
— It should be possible to operate the switch between auxiliary and main (primary) burner and
the preceding main valve (to open or stop the propane supply) from outside the test room.
Special precautions are required for the extinction of burning specimens.
When the extinction is carried out because of intensive combustion of the specimens, it is
recommended that a second operator is ready to inter
