Single Burning item 4 Principle The reaction to fire classification (Euroclasses) shall be determined in accordance with EN 13501-1, respecting the test conditions laid down in this standard. The classification for the product as placed on the market is without any non-integrated installation means, e.g. glues, sealants. Thermal insulation products shall be tested in accordance with Clause 5 of this standard. This classification is compulsory and shall be included in the marking and labelling. Detailed information about the test conditions and the field of application of the classification as stated in the reaction to fire classification report shall be given in the manufacturer’s literature and in the declaration of conformity. Additional and optional reaction to fire tests of standardised assemblies simulating end-use applications, excluding pipe-insulation and which incorporate thermal insulation products, may be performed according to Clause 6 of this standard. This additional test data will allow the manufacturer the opportunity to give a complementary and optional declaration (where required) on reaction to fire for a standardised end-use application/assembly which includes the insulation product. The number of the selected test configuration of the assembly (Table 5) that is used shall be quoted with the Euroclass. Detailed information about the test conditions and the field of application of the classification as stated in the reaction to fire classification report shall be given in the manufacturer’s literature. This information shall be kept distinct from the CE marking when labelling products. NOTE 1 In respect of the standardised assemblies, it is understood that the manufacturer of the thermal insulation cannot take responsibility for the quality of the installation, neither for the way the insulation is installed.
NOTE 2 For pipe insulation, especially since the variety of end-uses, no standardised assemblies have been defined. Instructions for mounting and fixing of test specimens. SIST EN 15715:2010

This clause gives instructions for mounting and fixing for reaction to fire testing of thermal insulation products as placed on the market (product itself) and includes the field of application of the test results in 5.4.
This subclause is related to 4.2 in the main body of the product standards, e.g. EN 13162 or EN 14303. 5.2 Product and installation parameters Tables 1 and 2 give the parameters that have to be taken into account when determining a product’s reaction to fire performance and the field of application of the test results. The following tables are valid for both, flat products and pipe insulation. NOTE 1 Ageing or washing procedures are Not applicable for the test specimens. NOTE 2 Prefabricated shapes, e.g. elbows, T-pieces shall be deemed to have the same fire classification as tested products of the same product group.

5.3 Mounting and fixing 5.3.1 Ignitability, EN ISO 11925-2 Exposure to thermal attack The product shall be tested directly exposed to the thermal attack. Both surface and edge shall be exposed to the flame. If a product is produced with closed edges, the closed edge shall be exposed to the flame. 5.3.1.1 Substrate The test specimen, cut from the product samples including their facings and/or coatings, shall be mounted in the test apparatus without a substrate. 5.3.1.2 Product orientation and geometry Homogeneous products and products with the same facing or coating on both sides shall be tested on one face only.
If the product surfaces are not the same or the product is asymmetrical, two options are open for declaration:  either the worse test result will be used to declare the reaction to fire class of the product (valid for both faces exposed); or  a declaration of the reaction to fire class of each face is made, provided that the identification of the faces is clearly visible in the marking and labelling of the product. In case of a Euroclass F declaration for one of the faces, no test needs be performed on that face. 5.3.2 Single Burning Item (SBI), EN 13823 5.3.2.1 Exposure to thermal attack The product shall be tested directly exposed to the thermal attack. SIST EN 15715:2010

For Euroclass A1 classification a calcium silicate substrate is compulsory. Gypsum plaster board, steel, and wooden particle board substrates such as defined in EN 13238 are permitted to be used instead.
The test conditions and limit to the applicability of the classification shall be given in the declaration of conformity, in the classification report and in the manufacturer’s technical literature. 5.3.2.3 Air gaps/cavities The test specimen (product itself) shall be mounted in the test apparatus without an air gap/cavity (neither between the product and substrate nor between substrate and backing board). 5.3.2.4 Joints/ edges The general test shall be done with one vertical and one horizontal joint in the long wing. Alternatively, testing can be done either with a horizontal or a vertical joint. Positioning of the joints shall be in accordance with EN 13823. Testing with a vertical and a horizontal joint in the same test reflects a worst case situation and gives the widest field of application. Test specimens taken from product samples that are small shall be arranged in the test apparatus such that the joints required by EN 13823 are in the correct places. Other joints, resulting from the product size, may also be present. All joints (in the corner and at the long wing) shall be installed without a flashing or a sealant and tightly closed. Products shall be mounted with the edges as existing; results from testing with butt edges are valid for all types of edges. If a horizontal or vertical joint is used, the test conditions and field of application of the classification shall be given in the declaration/certification of conformity, in the classification report and in the manufacturer’s technical literature. 5.3.2.5 Size and positioning of the test specimen The size of the test specimens is given in EN 13823. The test specimens shall be cut from the product sample including its facings or coatings. Positioning of the test specimens shall meet the following conditions:  5.3.2.4 shall be taken into account;  products having larger dimensions than the SBI test specimens shall be cut to size;  products having smaller dimensions than the SBI test specimen shall be mounted in such a way that installation of full size products is started at the bottom corner line between both wings and joints;  the specimens installed on the short wing shall cover (on their thickness) those installed at the long wing with a butt joint, see Figure 1;  the maximum thickness of the test specimen including the substrate that can be installed in the SBI is 200 mm.

5.3.2.8 Fixing of pipe insulation test specimens 5.3.2.8.1 Dimensions of specimens Products that can be tested in the SBI are pipe insulation with an inside diameter of 22 mm and a thickness of 25 mm to 75 mm. Each individual thickness in that range 25 mm to 75 mm may be tested and classified if desired. The test data for 25 mm thickness is also valid for smaller thicknesses. The following principles apply: 1) The product shall always be tested at 25 mm thickness, or at the nearest available greater thickness. Products only available at thicknesses below 25 mm shall be tested multi-layered to reach or exceed 25 mm. 2) For product thicknesses larger than 25 mm but smaller than 50 mm: The actual maximum
thickness shall also be tested. The worst case results apply for all product thicknesses up to the maximum tested. This means that two thicknesses are tested. 3) For product thicknesses larger than 50 mm and up to 75 mm: The maximum thickness and the dimension closest to 50 mm shall also be tested. The worst case results apply for all product thicknesses up to the maximum tested. This means that three thicknesses are tested. 4) For product thicknesses larger than 75 mm:
as 3), but the maximum thickness tested is 75 mm. Test data on pipe-insulation with a bore of 22 mm is deemed to cover all other bores. Test data on pipe-insulation with a thickness of 75 mm is deemed to cover products of larger thickness. Pipe-insulation and insulation for cylindrical ducts with an outer diameter larger than 300 mm and insulation products intended to be used on flat surfaces shall be tested as flat specimens. SIST EN 15715:2010

5.3.2.8.2 Mounting of test specimen Pipe insulation shall be mounted on steel pipes. The steel pipes shall have an outside diameter of 21,3 mm and a wall thickness of 2,5 mm to 2,6 mm. NOTE Steel pipes produced according to ISO 65. The steel pipes shall have a length of 1 500 mm and be mounted vertically in the SBI trolley. The steel pipes shall be closed at one end to prevent convection, but for safety reasons care should be taken not to seal the pipe completely. The pipes shall be mounted in such a way that there is a gap of 25 mm between the outside pipe insulation surfaces of the adjacent pipe and between the outside insulation surface and the backing board. As many pipes as possible shall be mounted on each wing in the SBI. For the insulation thickness of 25 mm the number of pipes is five on the short wing and ten on the long wing. For the insulation thickness of 50 mm the number of pipes is three on the short wing and six on the long wing; for the insulation thickness of 75 mm the number of pipes is two on the short wing and five on the long wing. The steel pipes shall be mounted in such a way that their position is fixed for the duration of the test. Figure 4 shows a schematic drawing of the mounting in the SBI. Dimensions in mm

b) Top view
Figure 4 — Schematic drawings of the mounting of the test specimens in the SBI in the case of 25 mm insulation thickness SIST EN 15715:2010

5.3.2.8.4 Backing board The backing board shall be positioned behind the test specimens at a distance of 25 mm from the outside surface of the specimen. 5.3.2.8.5 Fixing of the pipe insulation on the steel pipes Pipe insulation, shall be mounted in the SBI test without any fixings, except where the products may be able to slide down during the test. These types of products shall be fixed at the top of each specimen using steel wire. Pipe insulation of which the joints are adhered in end-use shall be mounted with adhered joints, faced to the burner in the SBI test. Pipe insulation with mechanically held longitudinal joints shall be arranged with one joint on each pipe facing the burner
5.4 Validity of test results for product groups (Field of application) The manufacturer is responsible for the grouping of his products according to EN 13172, the relevant product standard, and this standard. The validity of the test result for a product group is determined by the product and installation parameters with the requirements given in Annex A. Ancillaries used on site are not part of the product group and shall not be part of the test report
