flow rate calculation.”
5 Modification to Clause 5, "Extended application report"
Add in the first sentence …“in line with EN 15725 and”… in front of …” in accordance with the requirements
of EN 15269-1” …
6 Modification to Annex A
Replace all of the paragraphs before Table 1 of Annex A with the following:
“The tables are designed to provide rules for the creation of extended application reports by experts in
the field of smoke control testing of:
— Table A.1: hinged and pivoted doorsets.
— Table A.2: horizontally sliding doorsets (single leaf and double leaf), telescopic doorsets (single leaf
and double leaf) and single leaf vertically sliding doorsets.
— Table A.3: metal rolling shutters and operable fabric curtains (excluding overlapping systems).
The Tables A.1, A.2 or A.3 shall only be used to evaluate a field of extended application when at least one
positive smoke control test according to EN 1634-3 has resulted in a classification according to
EN 13501-2.
The first two columns of Tables A.1, A.2 or A.3 identify possible variations to the construction parameters
of the specimen tested.
Column (3) of Tables A.1, A.2 and A.3 indicates the possibility and, if applicable, the condition(s) to be
fulfilled to extend the field of application. If a desired parameter variation is not possible or not covered
by the allowance(s) in column (3) it shall be tested in accordance with column (4).
Where additional tests are deemed to be necessary, column (4) of Tables A.1, A.2 or A.3 defines the test
scenario to be used. Where it is possible to use information from tests performed on one configuration
for evidence on a different configuration, this allowance has been made in order to reduce the overall
number of tests required for extended application evaluation (e.g. single action doorsets to double action
doorsets).
The following test scenarios are defined and referred to in column (4) of Tables A.1, A.2 or A.3:
Test shall be performed with a single or double leaf doorset
Test scenario A:
Tests shall be performed from both sides with a single leaf doorset
Test scenario B:
Tests shall be performed from both sides with a double leaf doorset
Test scenario C:
Test shall be performed from the worst side with a double leaf doorset for single
Test scenario D:
or double leaf doorsets or with a single leaf doorset for single leaf doorsets
Test shall be performed from the worst side with a single leaf doorset for single
Test scenario E:
leaf doorsets or a double leaf doorset for double leaf doorsets respectively
Tests shall be performed from both sides with a single leaf doorset for single leaf
Test scenario F:
doorsets or a double leaf doorset for double leaf doorsets respectively. If the
double leaf doorset test leads to an air flow rate of ≤ 20 m /h, this test is sufficient
for single leaf doorsets as well
Test scenario G: Tests shall be performed from both sides with a single or double leaf sliding
doorset
If the building hardware does interfere with the smoke seal system more than
Test scenario H:
tested: Tests shall be performed from both sides with a single leaf doorset for
single leaf doorsets or a double leaf doorset for double leaf doorsets respectively.
If the double leaf doorset test leads to an air flow rate of ≤ 20 m /h, this test is
sufficient for single leaf doorsets as well.
Otherwise: Test shall be performed on the opening face with a double leaf doorset
for single or double leaf doorsets or with a single leaf doorset for single leaf
doorsets
Test scenario I: Test shall be performed from one side with the part(s) changed faced to the test
chamber.
Where an additional test is required in column 4, the test shall be a full-scale test according to EN 1634-3
at least with the size of the initial test described in 4.1.1., unless it is otherwise specified by the notified
product certification body, or the details changed are limited to the tested size. The test shall be
performed with the specimen tested from the side with the higher air flow rate achieved in the basis tests
mentioned in 4.1.1 (worst face) unless it is otherwise specified.
Where additional tests from both faces are required, it is defined in Annex A explicitly (test scenarios B,
C, F, G, and H). In this case one specimen can be used for both tests. If the field of extended application is
intended to cover both, products with or without specific retaining element of building hardware, the
element of building hardware may be fitted to the test specimen but set disengaged.
The rules for increase of the size of Annex C are to be considered to all variations of Tables A.1, A.2 or A.3,
if they shall be applied to a larger size than tested. A variation shall not lead to an overload or an improper
deformation of any component (which might e.g. prevent to close fully). For rolling shutter assemblies
and operable fabric curtains stability and limitation of deformations are crucial for the air flow rate.
Calculation principles for stresses and strains are given in Annex D and examples for calculations for
relevant parts in Annex E.
Interpolations between minimum and maximum size tested of any measure is possible if not specified
otherwise in Tables A.1, A.2 or A.3. The influence of construction parameter variations on the statics of a
doorset or operable fabric curtain or shutter assembly shall always be considered by the manufacturer.
Parts of solid timber may be replaced by parts of other solid timber of the same or higher density. Glued
timber with solid pieces of min. 10 mm thickness may be used instead of solid timber. Composite timber
products (e.g. made of Medium Density Fibreboard) may not be replaced with other materials or
composites. Timber doorsets with metal inlays shall follow the rules for metal doorsets. Test results
achieved with a timber doorset with metal inlays may not be used to evaluate the extended field of
application of a timber doorsets without metal inlays and vice versa.
If after consideration of a specific construction parameter variation, additional changes are required to
be made to the specimen, these may be made providing the implications on other construction parameter
variations are also taken into account. If two or more construction parameter variations should be tested
within the same specimen, those construction parameter variations should not interfere (neither
negative nor positive) with each other, unless the construction parameter variations are always used
together.
Unless otherwise described in Annex A of this document, the rules for “S ” are also applicable to “S ”.”
