Fire tests for building elements and components — Fire testing of service installations — Part 1: Penetration seals
ISO 10295-1:2007 specifies the heating condition, method of test and criteria for the evaluation of the ability of a penetration sealing system to maintain the integrity and insulation of a fire separating element at the position at which it has been penetrated, for example by a service. ISO 10295-1:2007 assesses the effect of such penetrations on the integrity and insulation performance of the element concerned, the integrity and insulation performance of the penetration sealing system, the insulation performance of the penetrating service or services, and where appropriate, the integrity failure of a service. ISO 10295-1:2007 does not provide information concerning the influence of the inclusion of such penetrations and sealing systems on the load-bearing capacity of the element. It is possible that a penetration seal is a component of, or contributes to the performance of, a system to which special requirements apply. In such cases additional tests, relevant to the system and its function, can be necessary. Examples are chimneys and fire-rated ducts in air distribution systems. ISO 10295-1:2007 is not intended to provide quantitative information on the rate of leakage of smoke and/or hot gases or on the transmission or generation of fumes. Such phenomena are to be noted in describing the general behaviour of specimens during test. ISO 10295-1:2007 does not provide information on the ability of the seal to withstand stresses that can be caused by the movement or displacement of the penetration services in practice.

Overview
ISO/PRF 10295-1: Fire tests for building elements and components - Fire testing of service installations - Part 1: Penetration seals is an international standard developed by ISO Technical Committee 92 (Fire Safety), Subcommittee 2 (Fire Resistance). This standard outlines test methods to assess how well penetration sealing systems maintain the fire-resistant integrity and insulation of building elements-such as walls or floors-once they have been penetrated by services like cables, pipes, or ducts.
ISO 10295-1 provides procedures for fire tests to evaluate the performance of seals used to close penetrations. The standard specifies the heating conditions, testing method, and pass/fail criteria for penetration sealing systems, focusing on their ability to help a fire-separating building element maintain its integrity and insulation when service installations pass through.
Key Topics
- Evaluation of Fire Resistance: The standard assesses a penetration sealing system’s ability to prevent fire and heat passage through penetrations in fire-separating elements.
- Integrity and Insulation Performance: It establishes criteria for the continued integrity (preventing passage of flames and hot gases) and insulation (limiting temperature rise) at the location of the penetration.
- Services and Seals: The standard applies to a variety of service penetrations, including cables, conduits, pipes, ducts, and chimneys, as well as the seals intended to maintain fire separation.
- Test Conditions and Procedures:
- Detailed requirements for specimen preparation, including number and size of test samples.
- Heating regimes and pressure conditions applied during testing.
- Instrumentation and measurement techniques for integrity and insulation.
- Optional Leakage Tests: Inclusion of optional water and air leakage tests to further understand the seal’s performance.
Applications
ISO/PRF 10295-1 is widely used by building product manufacturers, fire testing laboratories, regulatory authorities, and construction professionals to:
- Test and Classify Penetration Seals: To ensure that products used as fire stopping materials meet international fire performance criteria.
- Building Design and Compliance: Assure designers and authorities that service installations do not compromise the fire resistance of walls, floors, or ceilings.
- Product Certification: Penetration sealing systems tested to this standard can achieve recognized certification, which is vital for code compliance and market acceptance.
- Risk Mitigation: Help building owners and facility managers select tested and certified products to improve overall fire safety in new or renovated buildings.
This standard applies to both standard and non-standard constructions, including rigid, flexible wall or floor elements, and accounts for a broad range of practical applications. While it primarily focuses on fire integrity and insulation, it also provides insight into optional performance characteristics such as air or water tightness.
Related Standards
Users of ISO/PRF 10295-1 may also be interested in related fire testing and building safety standards, such as:
- ISO 834-1: Fire-resistance tests - Elements of building construction - Part 1: General requirements (referenced for test conditions and definitions).
- ISO 13943: Fire safety - Vocabulary (applies for standardized terminology).
- Other parts of ISO 10295: Covering additional systems and applications.
- Relevant National Standards: Such as ASTM E814 (UL 1479) for penetration firestop systems.
For those involved in fire safety engineering, building design, construction, or regulatory compliance, ISO/PRF 10295-1 serves as a key resource for the standardized fire testing of service penetrations, helping ensure safer buildings globally.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee
has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 10295-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 92, Fire safety, Subcommittee SC 2, Fire
containment.
ISO 10295 consists of the following parts, under the general title Fire tests for building elements and

Part 1:
Penetration seals
WARNING — The attention of all persons concerned with managing and carrying out this fire
resistance test is drawn to the fact that fire testing can be hazardous and there is a possibility that
toxic and/or harmful smoke and gases can be evolved during the test. Mechanical and operational
hazards can also arise during the construction of the test elements or structures, their testing and
disposal of test residues.
WARNING — An assessment of all potential hazards and risks to health shall be made and safety
precautions shall be identified and provided. Written safety instructions shall be issued. Appropriate
training shall be given to relevant personnel. Laboratory personnel shall ensure that they follow
written safety instructions at all times.
1 Scope
This part of ISO 10295 specifies the heating condition, method of test and criteria for the evaluation of the
ability of a penetration sealing system to maintain the integrity and insulation of a fire separating element
at the position at which it has been penetrated.
This part of ISO 10295 assesses
a) the effect of such penetrations on the integrity and insulation performance of the element concerned,
b) the integrity and insulation performance of the penetration sealing system,
c) the insulation performance of the penetrating service or services, and where appropriate, the integrity
failure of a service.
This part of ISO 10295 does not provide information concerning the influence of the inclusion of such
penetrations and sealing systems on the load-bearing capacity of the element.
It is possible that a penetration seal is a component of, or contributes to the performance of, a system to
which special requirements apply. In such cases additional tests, relevant to the system and its function, can
be necessary. Examples are chimneys and fire-rated ducts in air distribution systems.
This part of ISO 10295 is not intended to provide quantitative information on the rate of leakage of
smoke and/or hot gases or on the transmission or generation of fumes during the fire exposure test. Such
phenomena are to be noted in describing the general behaviour of specimens during test.
This part of ISO 10295 does not provide information on the ability of the seal to withstand stresses that can
be caused by the movement or displacement of the penetration services in practice.
NOTE Optional water and air leakage tests are included in Annex A.
NOTE Explanatory notes are included in Annex B.

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:

— 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.

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 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.

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.
PROOF/ÉPREUVE
ISO 10295-1:2026(en)
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
12.4.1 Test results obtained with penetration sealing systems tested in vertical separating elements cannot
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.
13 Test report
The test report shall include the following information:
a) name of the testing laboratory;
b) date of the test;

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.
