European foreword
This document (EN 1047-2:2019) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 263 “Secure
storage of cash, valuables and data media”, 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 October 2019, and conflicting national standards shall
be withdrawn at the latest by October 2019.
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 1047-2:2009+A1:2013.
This document EN 1047 Secure storage units — Classification and methods of test for resistance to fire is
composed of two parts:
— Part 1: Data cabinets and diskette inserts
— Part 2: Data rooms and data container
In comparison with EN 1047-2:2009+A1:2013, the following changes have been made:
— references have been updated;
— the definitions have been updated to the state of the art;
— the requirements in Table 1 have changed;
— the requirements for doors have been updated (see 4.2);
— for easier and shorter reading the general requirements (for instance equipment of the test
specimen and position of fire-retarding penetration seals) for data rooms type A and data room
type B as well as data containers have moved into one new clause (see 5.1);
— the configuration (including a number and type of cables and pipes reaching into the room) is
defined more precisely and is updated to the state of the art for the type test and the series
products (see3.8, 5.1.2, and 7.2);
— to make sure that customers wishing to have higher data rooms, the test specimen in the furnace is
allowed to be higher than the limit of 2 700 mm which was in the standard before (see 5.2.2 and
5.3.1);
— an additional type test for the floor has been added (see 5.2.4, 5.3.3, 5.4.3, 5.5, 6.2.1d, 6.3.7, 6.6.3
and Annex A);
— the requirements for the comparison test have changed (see Table 1, 5.6, 6.2.1e, 6.3.8, 6.4.5, and
6.6.4);
— the thermocouples have been repositioned for the data room test (see 6.3.4);
— the requirements for series products have been updated and have been moved from the scope to
the new Clause 7 “series products”. Above all the height of a data room may only be increased by
35 % and decreased by 35 % (before both were at 50 %);

EN 1047-2:2019 (E)
Introduction
The testing conditions given in this European Standard provide a basis for simulating fires to
determine, in a reproducible way, the fire resistance of data rooms and data containers.
The values for the maximum temperature increase in protection classes R60D and C60D specified in
accordance with Table 1 in this European Standard relate to the relatively short time of high
temperature exposure occurring during a fire test; in general, they are not experienced by data media
and systems hardware stored in data rooms and data containers in the normal and correct way.
EN 1363-1 establishes the general principles for determining the fire resistance of various elements of
construction when subjected to standard fire exposure conditions. Alternative and additional
procedures to meet special requirements are given in EN 1363-2. The development of the temperatures
and the relative humidity in the interior of a data room and data container cannot be measured under
the standard series EN 1363.
The sensitivity of media (see 3.5) and hardware systems (see 3.6) to temperature and humidity
requires additional protection with regard to excessively high temperatures and relative humidity,
proof of which cannot be furnished through type tests in accordance with the European Standards
EN 1363-1 and EN 1363-2. This additional protection requires a series of product solutions, the
performance of which is type tested and certified on the basis of the standard series EN 1047.
EN 1047-1 covers the type testing of data cabinets as freestanding units.
EN 1047-2 covers the type testing of data rooms and data containers. For wall, ceiling and floor
elements type tested within the framework of this system test, proof of an additional protection can be
furnished in accordance with the European Standards EN 1363-1 and EN 1363-2.

1 Scope
This part of the document EN 1047 specifies requirements for data rooms and data containers. It
includes a method of test for the determination of the ability of data rooms and data containers to
protect temperature and humidity sensitive data media (see 3.5) and hardware systems (see 3.6) from
the effects of fire. A test method for measuring the resistance to mechanical stress (impact test)
provided by data rooms type B and data containers is also specified.
Requirements are also specified for test specimens, the technical documentation of the test specimens,
materials specimens, physical fittings, the correlation of test specimens with the technical
documentation and the preparation for type testing, test procedures as well as the series production.
In addition, a scheme to classify data rooms and data containers from the test results is given (see
Table 1).
As well as providing protection against fire, correctly installed data rooms and data containers offer a
defined protection against impacts caused by failure during fire of components and objects external to
the data room or data container.
Data rooms and data containers having the same design, protection and construction features (type and
thickness of construction and protective materials, rebate geometry, lockings, doors, etc.) will only be
given the same protection classification as that of the test specimen if the tolerances are within the
ranges specified in Clause 7.
NOTE This document does not regulate the use of data rooms in the meaning of the building laws of the
respective countries. In the construction of data rooms, it is advised to consider the respective national
requirements.
