Overview
EN 1366-2:2015 - Fire resistance tests for service installations · Part 2: Fire dampers (CEN) specifies a standardized method to determine the fire resistance performance of mechanical fire dampers installed in fire separating elements (walls and floors). Its purpose is to evaluate a damper’s ability to maintain compartmentation and limit the passage of fire, smoke and hot gases through HVAC ductwork at elevated temperatures. The standard is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 1363-1 (general fire test requirements).
Important limitations:
- Not suitable for testing fire dampers in suspended ceilings.
- Not applicable to non‑mechanical fire dampers (see EN 1366‑12).
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope & objective: Tests simulate realistic installation conditions (damper attached directly or via ducting) and start with the damper in the open position to expose the temperature sensing element to furnace conditions.
- Test equipment & instrumentation: Requirements for connecting ducts, volume‑flow measurement, condensing units, exhaust systems and gas/temperature measuring devices; clarified thermocouple placement including T3/T4 concepts.
- Specimen design & installation: Defines sizes, number of tests, orientations, installation methods (within openings, mounted to face, mounted remote from construction), blade pivot axis and separation requirements.
- Test procedure:
- Opening/closing functional tests.
- Continuous leakage measurement during the fire test while maintaining a constant pressure differential of 300 Pa across the closed damper.
- Ambient leakage measurement when reduced leakage classifications are required.
- Optional additional insulation test when a damper is to be used un‑ducted or ducted on one side.
- Performance criteria & reporting: Integrity and, where applicable, insulation classification (EI vs E) and detailed test report content.
- Safety: Emphasizes hazard assessment, safe conduct of fire testing and personnel training.
Practical applications & who uses it
EN 1366-2:2015 is used by:
- Test laboratories performing fire resistance tests on HVAC components.
- Fire damper manufacturers for product development, PE/CE marking and demonstrating compliance.
- Fire safety engineers and consultants specifying dampers for compartmentation and smoke control strategies.
- Building designers, MEP contractors and authorities assessing suitability of dampers for fire‑resisting partitions and floors. Use cases include selecting dampers for fire compartment boundaries, validating manufacturer claims for integrity and insulation performance, and providing evidence for regulatory approvals.
