Page 3EN 13238:2001ForewordThis European Standard has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 127 "Fire safety inbuildings", the secretariat of which is held by BSI.This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of anidentical text or by endorsement, at the latest by November 2001, and conflicting national standards shallbe withdrawn at the latest by December 2003.This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commissionand the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of thefollowing countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic,Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway,Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.SIST EN 13238:2002



Page 4EN 13238:2001IntroductionThe Construction Products Directive requires products to be tested in their end-use condition which,for the purpose of substrates, could lead to an economically unrealistic large variety of tests to becarried out. This large spectrum has been reduced to a practical number of standard substrates thatenables the majority of end-use conditions to be represented. Rules for the selection of suchsubstrates are given in this European Standard.This European Standard is intended for use in conjunction with CEN test methods covering reaction tofire tests for building products.As agreed by the CEN co-ordination group for fire (CEN/BT WG50), no irreversible preconditioningtreatments are covered in this European Standard. Such treatments are dealt with in the relevantproduct standards.The conditioning times given in this standard are based on current knowledge at the time of drafting.Any information resulting from experience in using the standard will be taken into account in anyfuture revision.SIST EN 13238:2002

ScopeThis European Standard specifies the conditioning procedures for samples of building products, andthe rules for the selection of substrates for floor coverings and wall/ceiling surface products, whencarrying out reaction to fire tests.This European Standard does not cover pre-drying procedures for prEN ISO 1182 or the washing andcleaning procedures relating to durability aspects, which are covered by product standards.2
