adhesive, e.g. sodium silicate adhesive, ceramic adhesive. Alternatively, pipes may be sealed by welding a
disc of the same material as the pipe to the end. In cases where vertical pipes are tested, the mineral wool or
ceramic fibre discs shall be fixed additionally by mechanical means.
8.5 Penetration seal
8.5.1 Installation of penetration seal
The penetration sealing system shall be installed, together with services chosen to represent the field of
application. Install these services in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions or in a manner
representative of site practice. The installation procedures shall be described in the test report.
8.5.2 Addition of services
In the case where a penetration sealing system is designed to allow for the alteration of the service content
after first installation, a representative penetration sealing system shall be prepared and fully conditioned.
After this period, any required modifications shall be made to the service loading and a further conditioning
period shall be allowed if necessary. Such procedures shall be fully described in the report.
8.5.3 Blank penetration seal
A blank penetration seal shall be tested in accordance with this document. The test results of the blank
penetration seal shall not be applied after the penetrating item is installed.
9 Test procedure
9.1 Pre-test conditioning
After completion of the test construction, it shall be subject to a conditioning procedure in accordance with
ISO 834-1.
9.2 Setting up of test construction and apparatus
9.2.1 Installation of test construction
When the conditioning procedures are satisfied the test construction shall be mounted to form the vertical
or horizontal face of the test furnace as appropriate. Measuring equipment and ancillary apparatus shall be
provided in accordance with the provisions of this document.
9.2.2 Furnace temperatures
Plate thermometers in accordance with ISO 834-1 for the measurement and control of furnace temperature
shall be uniformly distributed to give a reliable indication of the average gas temperature in the vicinity of
the heated face of the test construction. The face of the plate thermometers shall be located initially in a
plane (100 ± 10) mm from the exposed face of the separating element. In addition, no plate thermometer shall
be closer than 100 mm to any projecting part of the seal, a penetrating service or any part of the furnace at
the start of the test. At least one plate thermometer shall be provided for every 1,5 m of the heated area of
the test construction, subject to a minimum number of four plate thermometers for each test construction.
9.2.3 Unexposed face temperature measurement
9.2.3.1 Generally, surface-temperature measurements shall be made using thermocouples in accordance
with ISO 834-1. In the case of non-planar surfaces, the disc and pad shall be deformed to follow the surface
profile. If there is difficulty in fixing the standard pad, the size of the pad shall be reduced in size subject to a
minimum dimension of 12 mm.
9.2.3.2 Thermocouples shall be provided at the following locations; see also Figures 1 and 2.
a) Location A: On the surface of the service protruding from the unexposed face, at a position corresponding
to a distance of 25 mm from the point where the service emerges from the penetration seal. At this
location, a measurement shall be made on each different type and/or size of penetrating service included
in the penetration. On each selected service, one thermocouple shall be provided for every 500 mm of
the service perimeter.
1) In the case of tightly bunched or grouped services, the grouped assembly shall be treated as a single
service. Thermocouples at the specified positions shall be evenly distributed around the perimeters
of the service. If the service passes through a vertical element, one of these thermocouples shall
be attached to the uppermost surface of the service. Also, in the case of vertical elements, when
similar services are included in the penetration, the service nearest the top of the penetration shall
be chosen for temperature measurement.
2) Surface thermocouples shall also be placed on the service at a distance of 25 mm from the
termination of any coating or insulation extending along the surface from the penetration.
b) Location B: On the surface of the penetration seal at the following locations:
1) Where possible, 25 mm from each type of penetrating service (or group of services) with a minimum
of one thermocouple provided for each 500 mm of the service perimeter.
2) Where possible, equidistant from the perimeter of the service to the edge of the penetration:
— at the location of maximum separation, or
— where there is more than one penetrating service, at the nominal mid-position of the largest
uninterrupted area of the penetration seal.
c) Location C: At the mid-section of the unexposed surface on any supporting frame at the periphery
of the penetration. In the case of vertical elements, this measurement shall be made at the top of the
penetration.
d) Location D: On the surface of each rack, tray or any service support construction that passes through
the fire seal at distances of 25 mm from the point of emergence from the seal.
e) Location E: On the surface of the separating element 25 mm from the edge of the penetration with a
minimum of one thermocouple per penetration.
f) Location F: If, in the opinion of the laboratory, potential weak spots can be identified, additional fixed
thermocouples shall be attached at those points.

9.2.3.3 On thermoplastic, fibrous, intumescent materials or paints, the pad and the thermocouple shall
be fixed so that they remain in contact with the surface during the test without adversely affecting the
performance of the penetration system.
9.2.4 Roving thermocouple
The information obtained on unexposed face surface temperatures shall be supplemented by additional
data derived from measurements obtained using a roving thermocouple as specified in ISO 834-1, applied to
identify any local hot spots or points at which temperatures measured by the fixed thermocouples are not
reliable.
9.2.5 Integrity measurements
Where difficulties arise in attempting to use the cotton pad for the assessment of loss of integrity in
accordance with ISO 834-1 when the penetration carries a high density of services, the size of the cotton pad
shall be reduced to 20 mm × 20 mm × 20 mm. The wire supporting frame described in ISO 834-1 shall be
adapted to the small pad size but still maintain the 30 mm clearance required from adjacent surfaces. Gap
gauges shall not be used for the determination of integrity loss.
9.3 Performing the test
A test on the specimen shall be carried out in accordance with ISO 834-1.
9.4 Measurements and observations
Subject to the modifications referred to in the previous clauses, measurement and observations during the
test shall be made in accordance with ISO 834-1.
10 Test criteria
10.1 General
10.1.1 After selecting the criteria for performance, it is necessary to consider the methods by which fire
can be transmitted through such elements, including the following:
a) through a space formed between a service and the penetration seal, or between the penetration seal
and the fire-separating element it penetrates, or through an opening formed within the service itself, or
in the penetration seal material;
b) by a temperature rise on the unexposed surface of the fire-separating element in the vicinity of the
penetration;
c) by a rise in the surface temperature of that part of the service that is on the un-heated side of the fire-
separating element, or on the unexposed surface of the penetration sealing system.
10.1.2 The purpose of the test is to establish the effect of the inclusion of a sealed penetration in a fire-
separating element, on the fire resistance of that element. In this respect the relevant criteria for integrity
and insulation are based on those specified in ISO 834-1.
10.2 Integrity
Integrity shall be recorded as the time before the occurrence of flaming or other conditions on the unexposed
face of the penetration sealing system which ignite the cotton pad.

10.3 Insulation
10.3.1 Insulation shall be recorded as the time when the maximum unexposed face temperature rise,
determined either by any of the thermocouples in specified positions, or by the roving thermocouple,
exceeds 180 °C.
10.3.2 Temperatures recorded from thermocouples that become embedded in softening material or covered
by intumescent material shall be disregarded.
11 Expression of results
11.1 The result shall be stated to the nearest completed minute of test in terms of elapsed time between
the commencement of heating and the time at which the integrity and insulation criteria are no longer met
in accordance with this document. Any failure with respect to a single service incorporated in a penetration
seal system shall constitute a failure of that system. If multiple penetrations are included in a single test,
then the performance of each penetration seal system shall be judged separately subject to the constraints
of 8.4.1.
11.2 Test results are valid only as long as the services do not receive additional support (e.g. from the floor
of the furnace).
12 Direct field of application
12.1 General
The test results obtained are valid only for the same service used in the test. The service is identified by:
a) type of material used with same specification;
b) dimensions (e.g. the nominal outside diameter and the nominal wall thickness);
c) other dimensions of the installed configurations (e.g. annular space);
d) insulation used with same specification (e.g. type, dimension).
12.2 Pipe services
12.2.1 For test results obtained from tests with pipes using the service end arrangement from Table 4, the
following rules apply for plastic pipe and metal pipe end arrangements.
12.2.2 Test results obtained from tests with single layer plastic pipes are valid for all other test pipe end
arrangements in accordance with Table 5.

12.3 Cable services
12.3.1 Test results obtained from tests with cables apply if the diameter of a single cable is reduced or the
number of cables in a bundle is reduced.
12.3.2 Test results obtained from tests with cables apply only to the number, size and type (e.g. specification)
of cables or cable bundles (including insulation) as tested.
12.4 Concrete and masonry separating elements

be used to assess performance in horizontal separating elements.
12.4.2 Test results obtained with penetration sealing systems tested in horizontal separating elements
can be used to assess performance in vertical separating elements providing that they are installed
symmetrically on both sides of the wall and consideration is given to the effect of the orientation on the
penetrating item.
NOTE The orientation of the penetrating item can create a more severe condition resulting in failure of the firestop
system. As an example, penetrants containing multiple layers of cable can represent a more severe condition in a wall
orientation. Additionally, the rigidity of the penetration sealing system can also create a more severe condition.
12.4.3 Test results obtained with separating elements of concrete or masonry can be applied to concrete or
masonry separating elements of a thickness and density equal to or greater than that of the element used in
the test.
12.4.4 Test results obtained with flexible separating elements can be applied to concrete or masonry
elements of a thickness equal to or greater than, and with the same or higher fire resistance rating than that
of the element used in the tests.

A.1 Optional water leakage test
A.1.1 Overview
This annex describes an optional water leakage test to determine the ability of penetration sealing systems
to resist the passage of water under a one-metre pressure head. This method does not evaluate the ability of
uncured penetration sealing systems to resist such exposure.
The W-rating is based on the water resistance of the test sample. To obtain a W-rating, the fire exposure test
shall be performed after the water leakage test.
The following applies when conducting the water leakage test. For conditions where a penetrant is required
to be longer than the maximum unexposed side length defined in 8.4.2
