Page 7EN 13213:2001Requirements to the load bearing capacity apply to each area which is normallyaccessible by the user.The ultimate load is the only criterion for the classification. All other load bearingcharacteristics are correlated to the safety load.The system shall be described and classified, and shall meet the requirements so far asthey are relevant for the hollow floor. The hollow floor shall be designed in such a waythat the requirements for the system shall be met.NOTE
Uniformly distributed loads should not be taken as a load bearingcharacteristic. The relevant load bearing characteristic is limited by the point load.Hollow floors are graded in accordance with the ultimate load in accordance with table 1.Table 1 - Load classes of hollow floor system ClassUltimate loadKN1 4263849510612Applicable safety factors are either 2,0 or 3,0 depending on the specific or localrequirements.4.1.2 Ultimate loadWhen subjected to the test described in 5.1, the specimen shall sustain the appropriatesafety load for its grade as shown in table 1, for three measurements without collapsing.4.2 DeflectionThe maximum deflection of the element shall not exceed 1/300 of the length of the gridwhile subject to the working load.SIST EN 13213:2001
Page 8EN 13213:20014.3 Solidity of load bearing layerThe solidity of the load bearing layer is an important criterion for the load bearingcapacity of the whole system.The manufacturer has to document the value of solidity (bending- and compressivestrength tested in accordance with EN 196-1) of the load bearing layer which was used intest and further has to meet this value on site.4.4 Dimensional deviations4.4.1 Thickness of the load bearing layerRequirements for the thickness of the load bearing layer and deviations depend on thesystem stated by the manufacturer. A minimum thickness shall be specified inaccordance to table 2 by the manufacturer which will allow the floor to meet the specifiedload bearing requirements.4.4.2 Deviations of the surface flatnessDeviations of flatness in the surfaces of hollow floors shall comply to the values given intable 2.Table 2 - Surface deviations from flatnessDeviation from a flat level at a distancebetween two positionsDistance0,1 m 1 m> 1 m

Where the test method permits a representative portion of thehollow floor to be tested, this shall be done in accordance with the provisions of thatmethod. Where not possible, reaction to fire testing and classification shall be on thebasis of the performance of each component and/or material making up the hollowfloor. In this case, results for the hollow floor shall be based on stating the reaction tofire classification of each component and/or material.Where materials or components may be classified as reaction to fire Class A1without the need for testing1, this shall be stated for that material or component.4.6 Resistance to fireWhere required, the hollow floor shall be classified for its resistance to fire accordingto prEN 13501-2:2000.4.7 Electrostatic conductivityThe system shall comply with EN 1081,
EN 1815 and HD 384.6.61.

The thickness and type of the load bearing layer shall be representative ofthat to be used on site. The manufacturer shall state the size of the specimen as well asthe time span between casting the load bearing layer and testing the element.5.2.2 Test conditionsThe test is carried out at a temperature of 20 C ± 3 C and 55 % ± 20 % RH (relativehumidity).5.2.3 PrincipleA steadily increasing load is applied to an element until failure of the element occurs.SIS
