This Part of EN 1634 specifies a method for determining the leakage of cold and warm smoke from
one side of a door assembly to the other under the specified test conditions. The test can be applied
to door and shutter assemblies of different types intended for purposes of controlling the passage of
smoke in case of fire. This test can also be applied to lift landing doors and conveyor system doors
and shutters. The principle of the test is explained briefly in annex A.

4 Test equipment
4.1 Test apparatus
The test apparatus consists of a test chamber with an open front where the test construction is
mounted to provide a sealed enclosure. The opening of the test frame shall be sufficient to
accommodate the test specimen with its associated or supporting construction, in general an opening
of 3 m × 3 m is sufficient for most door types.
A fan system is used to create the pressure differential and, for testing to evaluate S , a heating
m
system is used to generate the temperatures specified in clause 5. The fan and the heating system
shall be able to replace air at ambient and medium temperature, as required, in order to compensate
for leakage rates through the test assembly.
Annex B provides an outline specification for a suitable apparatus but other designs are possible to
achieve the same objectives.
4.2 Instrumentation
4.2.1 Air temperature
All thermocouples for the measurement of air temperature shall be of bare metal type with a wire
diameter of 0,5 mm or steel sheathed type with the overall diameter not exceeding 1,0 mm.
For ambient temperature only leakage evaluation test to satisfy S , the temperature measuring
a
o o
equipment shall be capable of measuring temperatures up to 50 C with an accuracy of ± 4 C.
For ambient together with medium temperature leakage evaluation test to satisfy S , the temperature
m
measuring equipment shall be capable of measuring temperatures up to 250 °C with an accuracy of
± 5 °C.
4.2.2 Pressure
A suitable instrument shall be provided to measure the static pressure difference between the inside
and outside of the test chamber. The pressure measuring equipment shall be capable of measuring
pressures with an accuracy of 10 % of the measured value.
4.2.3 Air flow
Instrumentation shall be provided to measure the volume, Q , and the temperature of air supplied to or
t
extracted from the apparatus to compensate for the total leakage. The apparatus shall be able to
3 3
measure leakage up to at least 55 m /h to an accuracy of 1 m /h.
5 Test conditions
A fan system shall be provided to create a pressure differential across the test specimen of at least
55 Pa.
When testing for ambient together with medium temperature leakage, s , provision shall be made to
m
heat the circulating air to the test temperature of (200 ± 20) °C within the test duration and to control
the temperature within the prescribed limits given in 10.2.2.2.
The test chamber shall be well sealed and the apparatus leakage rate together with the leakage rate
through an associated/supporting construction (Q + Q ) shall not exceed 10 m /h at 50 Pa
app sup/assoc
and ambient temperature.
6 Test specimen
6.1 Size
The test specimen and all its components shall be full size unless limited by the size of the front
opening of the test apparatus, which will normally be 3 m × 3 m. Door assemblies which cannot be
tested at full size shall be tested to the maximum size possible consistent with the use of supporting
or associated constructions. If an associated construction is used, a minimum zone shall be exposed
within the chamber, 200 mm wide each side and over the top of the aperture, into which the door
assembly is to be fixed.
6.2 Number
Leakage tests shall be carried out from both sides for full evaluation except for doors for special
applications. The number of tests shall be as given in Table 1.
Table 1 — Number of tests

One test for each side: the same door may be
used by either reversing the sample or by creating

under-pressure in the test chamber
One test for each side: a separate specimen is
General Medium
required in each case
Special Ambient/medium One test from the specified side

6.3 Design and construction
Test specimen construction and finish shall be fully representative of that intended to be used in
practice. Any seal used in the door or between the door assembly and the associated construction
shall be identical to that intended for application in practice.
6.4 Verification
Where practicable, the size, thickness and material specification of the door assembly shall be
determined before the test to check the construction of the door against the manufacturer’s
specification and to allow adequate description of the tested assembly.
All gaps through which smoke can leak shall be measured and recorded. Generally these are gaps
between the edge of the door leaf/leaves and the door frame, between door leaves and at sill level.
When testing for ambient temperature only leakage to satisfy S classification, the gap between the
a
bottom of the door and the sill level may be tightly sealed with an impermeable material.
A full description shall be given of the conditions prevailing at each edge of the door leaf/leaves and
the presence and the nature of any seals.
7 Installation of test specimen
The test specimen shall be mounted as in practice, in an associated or supporting construction, in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, with appropriate gaps and clearances between the
fixed and moveable parts.
All gaps between the supporting or associated construction and test frame shall be tightly sealed with
an impermeable material.
8 Conditioning
8.1 Moisture content
The test construction shall be conditioned in accordance with EN 1363-1. Door assemblies made
entirely of non-hygroscopic materials, e.g. metal or glass, shall be left in the laboratory for at least
three days before testing. Any additional conditioning requirements in the relevant product standard
shall also be observed.
8.2 Mechanical conditioning
For details of the requirements on mechanical testing conditioning of the test specimen before smoke
leakage testing e.g. operational test or self closing test refer to the requirement and classification
standard prEN 14600.
Durability requirements are given in the relevant product standard.
9 Application of instrumentation
9.1 Thermocouples
For the ambient temperature only test to evaluate S , two thermocouples shall be used to monitor the
a
temperature in the chamber. These shall be equally spaced across the chamber at mid-height of the
test specim
