This Part of EN 1366 specifies a method of test and criteria for the evaluation (including field of application rules) of the ability of a penetration seal to maintain the fire resistance of a separating element at the position at which it has been penetrated by a service. Penetration seals used to seal gaps around chimneys, air ventilation systems, fire rated ventilation ducts, fire rated service ducts, shafts and smoke extraction ducts are excluded from this standard except for mixed penetration seals. The fire resistance of those services itself cannot be assessed with the methods described in this standard. Supporting constructions are used in this standard to represent separating elements such as walls or floors. These simulate the interaction between the test specimen and the separating element into which the sealing system is to be installed in practice. This European Standard is used in conjunction with EN 1363-1. The purpose of this test described in this standard is to assess: a) the effect of such penetrations on the integrity and insulation performance of the separating element concerned; b) the integrity and insulation performance of the penetration seal; c) the insulation performance of the penetrating service or services, and where necessary, the integrity failure of a service. No information can be implied by the test concerning the influence of the inclusion of such penetrations and sealing systems on the loadbearing capacity of the separating element. It is not the intention of this test to provide quantitative information on the rate of leakage of smoke and/or hot gases or on the transmission or generation of fumes. Such phenomena are only to be noted in describing the general behaviour of test specimens during the test. This test is not intended to supply any information on the ability of the penetration seal to withstand stress caused by movements or displacements of the penetrating services. The risk of spread of fire downwards caused by burning material, which drips through a pipe downwards to floors below, cannot be assessed with this test. Explanatory notes to this test method are given in Annex H. All dimensions given without tolerances are nominal ones unless otherwise stated.

The concrete can be lightweight, normal-weight or heavy-weight concrete and of strength classes 20/25 (LC/C/HC) to 50/60 (LC/C/HC).
The method is applicable to all fire protection systems used for the protection of such structural columns and includes sprayed fire protection, coatings, cladding protection systems and multi-layer or composite fire protection materials.
The test method and its assessment procedure is designed to permit direct application of the results to cover a range of thicknesses of the applied fire protection material.
The test method is only applicable to fire protection systems which are fixed directly to the structural column. Fire protection systems where the fire protection material is not attached directly to the composite column, leading to a continuous cavity between the column and the fire protection material of size greater than 5 mm are the subject of prENV 13381-2.
This European Prestandard contains the fire test which specifies the tests which should be carried out to determine the ability of the fire protection system to remain coherent and fixed to the composite column and to provide data on the temperatures of the outer steel surface of the composite column, when exposed to the standard time/temperature curve according to the procedures defined herein.
In special circumstances, where specified in national building regulations, there can be a need to subject reactive protection material to a smouldering curve.  The test for this and the special circumstances for its use are detailed in annex A.
This exposure, applicable to reactive fire protection materials, is used only in special circumstances, where specified in the national building regulations of a member state of the European Union, and is not intended to be ma

This Part of EN1366 specifies a method for determining the fire resistance of horizontal service ducts and vertical service shafts, which pass through walls or floors and enclose pipes and cables. The test examines the behaviour of ducts and shafts exposed to fire from outside and from inside the duct. This standard is read in conjunction with EN 1363-1.
This standard does not examine the risk of fire spread as a result of thermal conduction along the piping installed in service ducts or shafts, or thermal conduction through the media these pipes carry. It does not cover the risk of damage produced by thermal elongation or shortening as a result of fire, or damaged pipe suspensions. This standard does not give guidance on how to test one, two or three sided service ducts or shafts.
NOTE   Guidance on testing service ducts and shafts of less than four sides will be covered in the extended field of application rules being developed by CEN/TC 127.
This test is unsuitable for evaluating service ducts with internal barriers at walls and floors.
Whilst the walls of service ducts or shafts tested to this method may provide specified levels of integrity or insulation, testing to this standard does not replace the testing of the functional endurance of small electrical cables which is covered in EN 50200.
Fire resistance testing of ducts for air distribution systems is covered in EN 1366-1.

This document specifies a method of test and criteria for the evaluation of the ability of a penetration sealing system to maintain the fire resistance of a separating element at the position at which it has been penetrated by a service. Excluded are chimneys, air ventilation systems, fire rated ventilation ducts, fire rated service ducts, shafts and smoke extraction ducts.
Supporting constructions are used in this document to represent separating elements such as walls or floors. These simulate the interaction between the test specimen and the separating element into which the sealing system is to be installed in practice.
This document is used in conjunction with EN 1363-1.
The purpose of this test described in this document is to assess:
a)   the effect of such penetrations on the integrity and insulation performance of the separating element concerned;
b)   the integrity and insulation performance of the penetration sealing system;
c)   the insulation performance of the penetrating service or services, and where necessary, the integrity failure of a service.
No information can be implied by the test concerning the influence of the inclusion of such penetrations and sealing systems on the loadbearing capacity of the separating element.
It is not the intention of this test to provide quantitative information on the rate of leakage of smoke and/or hot gases or on the transmission or generation of fumes. Such phenomena should only be noted in describing the general behaviour of test specimens during the test.
This test does not supply any information on the ability of the penetration sealing system to withstand stress caused by movements or displacements of the penetrating services.
Explanatory notes to this test method are given in Annex A.

La présente Norme européenne spécifie une méthode de détermination de la résistance au feu des murs rideaux.
Il convient d'utiliser la présente norme conjointement avec l'EN 1363-1. Cette méthode d'essai est applicable aux murs rideaux conçus pour assurer une résistance contre le feu.
L'essai n'est pas applicable aux murs rideaux comportant un vitrage non résistant au feu.
Cette méthode d'essai évalue a des fins de classification la performance d'un assemblage complet lorsqu'il est soumis a essai avec une zone chauffée de 3 m × 3 m.
La résistance au feu des murs rideaux peut etre déterminée sous des conditions d'exposition au feu interne ou externe. Dans ce dernier cas, on utilise la courbe d'exposition au feu externe donnée dans l'EN 1363-2.
Les essais sur les éléments individuels d'un mur rideau (ex. calfeutrement linéaire, panneau ou vitrage) sont réalisés a l'aide de l'article 4 de la présente Norme.
