Foreword
This document (EN 15037-4:2010/FprA1:2012) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 229
“Precast concrete products”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This document is currently submitted to the Unique Acceptance Procedure.
This amendment deals with the reaction to fire issue and the dangerous substances requirement. It introduces
corrections including title of Annex ZA and reference to European Commission decision.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).
For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document.
1 Modification to Clause 2, Normative references
Add the following reference:
"EN ISO 11925-2, Reaction to fire tests — Ignitability of products subjected to direct impingement of flame —
Part 2: Single-flame source test (ISO 11925-2)"
2 Modification to 4.3.5.2, Reaction to fire
Replace the existing text with the following:
"The manufacturer shall declare a Euroclass reaction to fire in accordance with EN 13501-1.
NOTE The experience shows that EPS on the market are classified E or F."
3 Addition of a new sub-clause, 4.3.9,Dangerous substances
Add the following text which has been approved by the European Commission:
"4.3.9 Dangerous substances
National regulations on dangerous substances may require verification and declaration on release, and
sometimes content, when construction products covered by this standard are placed on those markets.
In the absence of European harmonized test methods, verification and declaration on release/content should
be done taking into account national provisions in the place of use.
NOTE An informative database covering European and national provisions on dangerous substances is available at
the Construction web site on EUROPA accessed through: http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/construction/cpd-ds/"
4 Addition of a new sub-clause, 5.4 Reaction to fire test
After 5.3 Compressive resistance test, add the following new sub-clause:
"5.4 Reaction to fire test
For the determination of Euroclass E and F, ignability shall be tested according to EN ISO 11925-2."
Renumber the following sub-clauses accordingly. Replace throughout the text the cross references to 5.4 with
5.5 and the cross references to 5.5 with 5.6.
5 Deletion of the requirement of “Dangerous substances” in Annex ZA
Delete the Warning and Notes 1 and 2 in ZA.1, and the paragraph and the two notes under Figure ZA.2
(starting with “In addition…”) in ZA.3.
(As requested recently by the European Commission the mandated requirement of “Dangerous substances” is
no longer considered in Annex ZA).
6 Modifications to Table ZA.1 Relevant clauses for EPS blocks used in
beam-and-block floor systems
Add the following footnote a to Level and/or class(es) for reaction to fire:
"a The experience shows that EPS on the market are classified E or F."
For the requirement "dangerous substances" in the second column replace “ZA.1 Note” with “4.3.9 Dangerous
substances” and delete “according to ZA.3” in the right column.
To be consistent with the other parts of EN 15037 (Part 2, 3 and 5) delete for the requirement “thermal
conductivity and thermal resistance” in the last column the words “of the floor”.
7 Modification to ZA.2 Procedure for attestation of conformity of EPS blocks for
beam-and-block floor systems
Replace the existing text with the following:
"
ZA.2.1 System of attestation of conformity
The system of attestation of conformity of EPS blocks for beam-and-block floor systems, for the essential
characteristics indicated in Table ZA.1, in accordance with the decision of the Commission 1999/94/EC
