4 Determination of the field of extended application
4.1 General
4.1.1 Before there can be any consideration for extended application, a representative doorset shall
have been tested in accordance with EN 1634-1 and / or EN 1634-3 to achieve a test result which could
generate a classification in accordance with EN 13501-2 at least equal to the classification subsequently
required from extended application considerations.
4.1.2 A review of the doorset construction parameters can indicate that one or more characteristics
may be improved by a particular parameter variation. All evaluations shall be made on the basis of
retaining the classifications obtainable from testing to EN 1634-1 and / or EN 1634-3, including those
lower than the test duration. However, this shall never lead to an increased classification for any specific
parameter beyond that achieved during any one test.
4.1.3 If no extended application rule exists for a particular parameter variation, then no extension or
change of this particular parameter is possible without further testing.
4.2 How to use the extended application rules in Annex A
4.2.1 Identify which of the specific sections of Annex A apply for the specific door leaf under evaluation.
— Annex A – Table A.2 – Section AA – Composite Door Leaf – Trimmable sub-frame
— Annex A – Table A.2 – Section AB – Composite Door Leaf – Fixed Size sub-frame
— Annex A – Table A.2 – Section AC – Timber Door Leaf – Made from a single sheet of material without
a sub-frame.
— Annex A – Table A.2 – Section AD – PVC-U Door Leaf
Only one of the above Sections of Annex A will apply to any particular product family based on the
constructional details of the door leaf. Refer to the definitions to define the particular section which would
be applicable.
4.2.2 The following table applies to all the above door leaf types:
— Annex A – Table A.2 – Section B – F – Common Sections
4.2.3 In order to utilise the hierarchy detailed within Annex’s B – D the product under evaluation shall
have:
• For all configurations two identical doorsets shall have been tested opening into and away from
the furnace for fire resistance and achieved the required performance relevant to the required
classification.
• Where glass is utilised, the glass configuration shall include at least one pane of insulated glass
(EW – glass with intumescent or ablative interlayer and EI – glass).
4.2.4 Identify the variations from the original test specimen(s) which are required to be covered by an
extended application report.
4.2.5 Locate the variations in the appropriate parameter variation by reference to columns (1) and (2)
of Annex A.
4.2.6 Review the contents of column (3) of Annex A whether any extended application is available
beyond the direct application rules in EN 1634-1 and / or EN 1634-3 without the need for further testing.
4.2.7 Where this is deemed to be possible, it can be recorded in the extended application report
together with any appropriate restrictions and the stated rules from column (3) of Annex A.
4.2.8 Where the variations required can only be achieved from additional testing, the additional test
can be made on a specimen type identified based on the detailed instruction given in column (4) of Annex
A.
4.2.9 Additional test requirement statements used in column (4):
The test requirements indicated below shall be conducted in both directions in all instances.
Table 1
S.0 A test on a single doorset within the product family range.
Test must replicate the most onerous relevant previous test result
S.1ᵃ
within the current tested product range.
Test must be carried out reproducing the primary test condition and
S.2ᵇ achieve an equal or improved performance relative to the classification
required. (consisting of a single doorset without sidelights)
Annex D gives the test protocol and hierarchy for various options on
S.3
leaf configurations including sidepanels, overpanels and fanlights.
ᵃ Most onerous result must be the lowest relevant performance in terms of mode of failure and/or
highest distortion but must also be evaluated taking the intended construction parameter
variation into account. For example, if the construction parameter variation involves a change to
glazing or sidepanel and overpanel configurations then the previous result where these have
been tested would need to be used to make the evaluation of most onerous. The result for a single
unglazed doorset would not be suitable and can therefore be discounted when making the
evaluation.
ᵇ When deciding if the additional test type S.1 or S.2 may be carried out consideration must
always be given to decide if the construction parameter variation would result in the product
becoming a different product family and therefore requiring a new product evaluation and an S.3
test programme being conducted.

4.3 Procedure for maximum field of extended application
4.3.1 It is possible to provide an extended field of application from a single test. However, where a
manufacturer envisages to produce a range of doors incorporating single doors with or without
sidepanels, overpanels or fanlights, with or without glazing, with alternative elements of building
hardware, etc., it is recommended that careful consideration is given to the complete range of doorset
designs and options. This helps to minimise the testing required before testing commences.
4.3.2 Establish all the parameter variations which are required to be part of the product range.
4.3.3 Determine which are the most important specification requirements and incorporate as many as
possible into the specimen(s) for the first tests in the series.
4.3.4 Conduct the first fire resistance and / or ambient temperature smoke control test or a series of
tests and then establish which of the original desired parameter variations have not been covered by the
fire resistance and / or ambient temperature smoke control tests, including direct application
possibilities where applicable (as identified within the tables herein).
4.3.5 Identify these parameter variations utilising Annex’s A – E and establish if any extended
application is possible without further testing.
4.3.6 Record this for the extended application report together with any restrictions and rules given in
column (3) in Annex A or Annex’s B-E.
4.3.7 Evaluate which, if any, of the desired parameter variations have not been covered by the field of
direct application or the initial field of extended application derived from 4.5.
4.3.8 Select the required outstanding parameter variations from column (1) and column (2) of Annex
A and observe from column (4) in Annex A which are the most appropriate, weakest specimen options
for further testing.
4.3.9 If the complete selection of required parameter variations has not been covered by the tests
completed in accordance with the above procedure, then an appropriate test or tests may be repeated
with the additional product variations incorporated.
4.4 Analysis of test results
4.4.1 In order to maximise the field of extended application, it is important that the test reports shall
record details of any failure throughout the duration of the test, as well as details of any significant
distortion where applicable.
4.4.2 Where a series of tests forms the basis for the extended application, the field of extended
application shall be based on the lowest performance achieved from the complete series of tests unless
premature failure has been attributed to one or more specific construction parameter variation.
4.4.3 Where it has been possible to identify specific parameter failures, the extended application for all
other construction parameter variations can be based on the performance achieved after isolating the
premature failure(s).
5 Extended application report
Prepare an extended application report in line with EN 15725 and in accordance with the requirements
of EN 15269-1, based on the results of evaluations in accordance with the above.
When additional test data based on representative specimens are used to extend the field of application,
the rationale for using the test data shall be mentioned in the EXAP report.
If the results of the testing being evaluated to generate an extended application led to a classification that
only covers one side (opening or closing) of the doorset, the rules defined within Annex A-E shall not be
used.
6 Classification report
The classification report shall be determined from the results of the extended application report and
presented in accordance with EN 13501-2.
Annex A
(normative)
Construction parameter variations
This table is designed to be used by experts competent in the field of fire resistance and ambient
temperature smoke control testing of products covered by the scope of this document. Where ambient
temperature smoke control is referred to within this document the leakage shall include leakage which
could occur at the threshold / bottom edge of the door leaf.
This table shall only be used to assess a field of extended application when at least one positive fire
resistance test to EN 1634-1 and / or ambient temperature smoke control test to EN 1634-3 has
generated a fire resistance and / or ambient temperature smoke control classification according to EN
13501-2 without the requirement to isolate any failure attributed to a particular element of the assembly
tested. Only results from fire resistance tests and / or ambient temperature smoke control tests in
accordance with the referenced European Standards may be used as basis for extended application.
The following sections detail the potential variation of elements of the tested construction permitted by
this extended field of application. This extended field of application as expressed deals with both the fire
resistance and ambient smoke control performance of the doorset design and therefore the following
table shall address both the fire and smoke evidence required to make such amendments.
The first two columns identify possible variations to the construction details of the specimen tested.
For some parameters, it is necessary to evaluate whether the specimen displayed a low level of distortion
during the fire resistance test. Where this is the case, the following level shall be used to establish low
distortion doorsets as measured using the maximum relative movement at any position between the edge
of the door leaf and door frame or the relative movement of the framing members for side and over
panels. The measurements shall be taken from the start of the fire resistance test at any time during the
complete required classification period. The deflections shall be measured at the positions given in EN
1634-1:
— Low: < 40 % of effective rebate depth;
The evaluation of the influence of a parameter variation on performance characteristics (E/EW/EI /EI
1 2
/Sa) lead to the judgement of the possibility of the extension of the field of application, the results of
which are given in column (3) of the following tables.
If the conditions specified in column (3) is not fulfilled, additional fire resistance and or ambient
temperature smoke control tests are deemed to be necessary. In this case, the type of specimen approved
for incorporation of the changed parameter is defined in column (4).
In order to maximize the possible field of extended application from a minimum number of fire resistance
and / or ambient temperature smoke control tests, the parameter changes have been spread over a series
of test specimens. The recommended tests for each parameter are dependent on the classification
required and the preferred options.
Where more than a single parameter variation is required, the influence on other variations shall also be
taken into account.
Some parameter variations may result in a door leaf with increased weight. For all design variations
contained within this EXAP document, the total weight of any design shall not exceed the loadbearing
capacity of the supporting items of building hardware.
Table A.1 – Timber groupings
Solid timber may be replaced by other solid timber of the same group of equal or higher
nominal density or solid timber of a higher group, where Group 4 is the highest group.
Nominal density
Group No. Type of timber
Kg/m
1 Softwood > 350 < 450
2 Hardwood > 350 < 450
3 Softwood ≥ 450
3a Beech (Fagus sylvatica) All
4 Hardwood ≥ 450
NOTE  The density is nominally declared at a moisture level of 12% according to EN 350
The above table shall be used in the following way:
— If the tested timber was a softwood as identified in EN 350 and has a nominal density as defined
within group 1 (> 350 < 450), however the actual density of the timber element sampled and tested
was greater. 510kg/m3 for example. The tested timber and alternative timbers within the same group
shall be no less dense than the recorded tested density.
— When moving down the hierarchy to group No.2 (Hardwood) the nominal density permitted shall fall
within the range as identified in the table above. This rationale shall be followed down the table.

to establish the maximum trimmed dimension from the sub framing (AA.2.2). The range between the AA.2.1 and AA.2.2 is considered permitted
based on testing the limits of the range. AA.2.3 shall be constructed with the sub-frame as demonstrated within the test which supports AA.2.1
