EN 13501-1:2018 (E) 5 European foreword This document (EN 13501-1:2018) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 127 “Fire safety in buildings”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by June 2019, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by September 2020. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 13501-1:2007+A1:2009. In addition to editorial corrections this document includes the reaction to fire classification procedure for linear pipe thermal insulation products. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association. CEN, CENELEC and EOTA committees preparing technical specifications, which contain performance requirements against reaction to fire tests, should make reference to the reaction to fire classification given in this European Standard and not refer directly to any specific fire test method. EN 13501, Fire classification of construction products and building elements consists of the following parts: — Part 1: Classification using data from reaction to fire tests — Part 2: Classification using data from fire resistance tests, excluding ventilation services — Part 3: Classification using data from fire resistance tests on products and elements used in building service installations: fire resisting ducts and fire dampers — Part 4: Classification using data from fire resistance tests on components of smoke control — systems — Part 5: Classification using data from external fire exposure to roofs tests — Part 6: Classification using data from reaction to fire tests on power, control and communication cables. According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom. SIST EN 13501-1:2019



EN 13501-1:2018 (E) 6 Introduction The aim of this European Standard is to define a harmonized procedure for the classification of reaction to fire of construction products. This classification is based on the test procedures listed in Clause 5 and the relevant field of application procedures. This European Standard has been prepared in support of the second essential requirement in the EC Construction Products Regulation (305/2011/EU) and as detailed in the Interpretative Document Number 2: Safety in case of fire (OJ C62 Vol. 37). Background information on the Commission Delegated Regulation (2016/364) regarding the classification of the reaction to fire performance of construction products is given in Annex A. The European Commission has drawn up a list of products which, under specified conditions, can be considered to be class A1 without testing. This information is given in the Commission Decision 96/603/EC (OJ L 267 19.10.1966 p23) as amended by 2000/605/EC (OJ L 258 12.10.2000 p36) and 2003/424/EC (OJ L 144 12.6.2003 p9). Additionally there is a procedure by which certain products can be assigned a particular fire classification without the need for testing. Such products have well established reaction to fire performance and have been agreed by the Standing Committee on Construction. Agreements relating to such products which may be ‘classified without further testing’ (CWFT) are published in the Official Journal of the EC. Parts 2, 3 and 4 of this European Standard are concerned with classification resulting from fire resistance tests. Part 5 covers classification resulting from tests for external fire exposure to roofs. Part 6 covers classification resulting from tests for reaction to fire of cables. NOTE Test reports constitute the basis for extended application reports as explained in EN 15725. SIST EN 13501-1:2019



EN 13501-1:2018 (E) 7 1 Scope This document provides the reaction to fire classification procedure for all construction products, including products incorporated within building elements with the exception of power, control and communication cables which are covered by EN 13501-6. Products are considered in relation to their end use application. This document applies to three categories, which are treated separately in this document: — construction products, excluding floorings and linear pipe thermal insulation products; — floorings; — linear pipe thermal insulation products. NOTE For CE marking of construction products under the Construction Product Regulation ((EC) 305/2011) the NPD option can be used when no reaction of fire performance is to be declared. 2 Normative references The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content constitutes requirements of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses: http://www.electropedia.org/ http://www.iso.org/obp 3.1.1 product material, element or component about which information is required 3.1.2 material single basic substance or uniformly dispersed mixture of substances, e.g. metal, stone, timber, concrete, mineral wool with uniformly dispersed binder or polymers 3.1.3 homogeneous product product consisting of a single material, having uniform density and composition throughout the product 3.1.4 non-homogeneous product product that does not satisfy the requirements of a homogeneous product Note 1 to entry: It is a product composed of one or more components, substantial and/or non-substantial. 3.1.5 substantial component material that constitutes a significant part of a non-homogeneous product. A layer with a
1,0 kg/m2 or a thickness
·
sá r mm is considered to be a substantial component 3.1.6 non-substantial component material that does not constitute a significant part of a non-homogeneous product. A layer with a mass/unit area < 1,0 kg/m2 and a thickness < 1,0 mm is considered to be a non-substantial component Note 1 to entry: Two or more non-substantial layers that are adjacent to each other (i.e. with no substantial component(s) in between the layers) are regarded as one non-substantial component when they collectively comply with the requirements for a layer being a non-substantial component. 3.1.7 internal non-substantial component non-substantial component that is covered on both sides by at least one substantial component 3.1.8 external non-substantial component non-substantial component that is not covered on one side by a substantial component SIST EN 13501-1:2019

Note 1 to entry: It covers aspects such as its quantity, orientation, position in relation to other adjacent products, and its method of fixing. 3.1.14 fire performance response of a material, product or assembly in a fire Note 1 to entry: It is often important to understand how materials, products or assemblies behave in real fires as opposed to in fire tests under controlled conditions. Improved fire performance can be exhibited in a variety of ways. For example, longer times to ignition, lower heat release, lower flame spread or lower smoke release could all be evidence of improvements in fire performance. Note 2 to entry: Compare with the term fire behaviour.

European foreword
This document (prEN 13501-1:2017) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 127
“Fire safety in buildings”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 13501-1:2007+A1:2009.
In addition to editorial corrections this document includes the reaction to fire classification
procedure for linear pipe thermal insulation products.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission
and the European Free Trade Association.
CEN, CENELEC and EOTA committees preparing technical specifications, which contain
performance requirements against reaction to fire tests, should make reference to the reaction
to fire classification given in this European Standard and not refer directly to any specific fire
test method.
EN 13501 Fire classification of construction products and building elements consists of the
following parts:
Part 1: Classification using data from reaction to fire tests
Part 2: Classification using data from fire resistance tests, excluding ventilation services
Part 3: Classification using data from fire resistance tests on products and elements used in
building service installations: fire resisting ducts and fire dampers
Part 4: Classification using data from fire resistance tests on components of smoke control systems
Part 5: Classification using data from external fire exposure to roofs tests
Part 6: Classification using data from reaction to fire tests on electric cables.

Introduction
The aim of this European Standard is to define a harmonized procedure for the classification of
reaction to fire of construction products. This classification is based on the test procedures
listed in Clause 5 and the relevant field of application procedures.
This European Standard has been prepared in support of the second essential requirement in
the EC Construction Products Regulation (305/2011/EC) and as detailed in the Inter
...
