CEN/TC 129/WG 11 - Fire resistant glazed assemblies

This document specifies the testing methodology to be used for glass products that are claiming fire resistance. The methodology covers type testing as defined in the relevant glass product standard.
NOTE   This document provides guidance with the declaration of the characteristic, Safety in case of fire − Resistance to fire (for glass for use in a glazed assembly intended specifically for fire resistance) for the CE marking.
The same methodology can also be used to determine the performance classification for market applications (see Annex B).
The methodology covers all glass product types that may require testing and classification for fire resistance.
Fire resistance testing covers end use applications, for example:
-   doors;
-   partitions, walls (including curtain walling);
-   floors, roofs;
-   ceilings.

This European Standard specifies the testing methodology to be used for glass products that are claiming fire resistance. The methodology covers Initial Type Testing as defined in the relevant glass product standard.

This European Standard specifies a classification of transparent or translucent glass products for use in appropriate glazed elements intended specially to provide fire resistance. These glass products are described in European Standards on basic and processed glass products.
