Overview

EN 13501-5:2016 is the CEN European standard for the fire classification of roofs and roof coverings based on performance in external fire exposure to roofs tests. It defines a harmonized procedure to convert test data from the four test methods in CEN/TS 1187:2012 into a formal classification for external fire performance. The standard supports regulatory requirements (Construction Products Regulation No 305/2011) and provides rules for specimen preparation, testing, classification parameters and reporting.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope and intent

    • Classification applies to roofs/roof coverings in relation to their intended end-use.
    • Only the CEN/TS 1187 test methods and associated application rules relevant to the envisaged classification are required.
    • National regulations may differentiate steep roofs from façades for classification purposes.
  • Four CEN/TS 1187 test methods (used directly for classification):

    • Test 1: Method with burning brands
    • Test 2: Method with burning brands and wind
    • Test 3: Method with burning brands, wind and supplementary radiant heat
    • Test 4: Two-stage method incorporating burning brands, wind and supplementary radiant heat
  • Classification process

    • Defines classes of external fire performance based on test outcomes; tests represent distinct hazard scenarios and are not hierarchically comparable.
    • Covers specimen preparation, testing requirements, number of tests, classification parameters (e.g., time to fire spread/penetration) and field of application (direct and extended).
    • Requires a classification report (Annex B) documenting test reports, results and any extended application rules used.
  • Extended application

    • Uses procedures in EN 15725 for predicting performance beyond the tested configuration (extended field of application) and preparing extended application reports.

Practical applications and who uses it

  • Manufacturers of roof coverings and system components use EN 13501-5:2016 to demonstrate external fire performance for product development and market access.
  • Testing laboratories apply the CEN/TS 1187 test methods and report data for classification.
  • Certifiers, notified bodies and regulators use the classification to assess compliance with CPR and national fire-safety rules.
  • Architects, fire engineers and contractors reference classifications when specifying roofing systems for projects, particularly where external fire exposure risk is a consideration.

The standard SIST EN 13501-5:2016 offers a comprehensive framework for the fire classification of construction products, specifically focusing on roofs and roof coverings exposed to external fire. The scope of the standard is crucial, as it delineates the procedures for classifying the fire performance of roofs, ensuring that different test methods are applied based on the intended end use of the products. One of the strengths of this standard is the inclusion of four distinct test methods specified in CEN/TS 1187:2012, which provides a robust basis for classification. These methods are pivotal in determining the behavior of roofing materials during external fire exposure, allowing for a nuanced understanding of their performance. The relevance of this standard cannot be overstated, especially considering varying national regulations that may affect the classification of roofs with steep slopes compared to facades. Furthermore, the standard’s emphasis on applying only those test methods that align with the envisaged classification ensures a tailored approach, adding to its effectiveness in fire safety assessments. The general information provided in Annex A regarding the test methods enhances clarity and supports users in navigating the classification process. Overall, SIST EN 13501-5:2016 stands out as a vital resource for manufacturers, architects, and regulators, facilitating informed decisions about roofing materials in terms of fire safety, compliance, and performance. The structured approach towards classification fosters a safer built environment, affirming the standard's significance in the construction industry.

EN 13501-5:2016は、建設製品および建物要素の火災分類に関する重要なヨーロッパ標準であり、特に外部火災に対する屋根および屋根被覆の火災性能評価手順を提供しています。この標準は、CEN/TS 1187:2012で示された4つの試験方法に基づいており、それに関連する適用ルールを考慮しています。この標準の適用範囲は、屋根や屋根被覆の分類に関する具体的な試験基準を明確にするものであり、最終使用における製品の位置付けを重視しています。 この標準の強みは、異なる建材や設計に対する包括的な評価方法を提供する点にあります。特に、屋根の傾斜やファサードに関する全国規制の違いに配慮しながら、各試験方法および適用ルールを選択することが求められ、これは非常に実用的です。また、附属書AにおいてCEN/TS 1187に関する一般情報が提供されており、これにより業界関係者は具体的な試験方法についての理解を深めることができます。 この標準は、建設業界にとって極めて重要であり、製品の火災リスクを評価し、適切な対策を講じるための基盤を提供しています。EN 13501-5:2016は、特に建物の安全性を確保し、規制の遵守を促進するために、今後もその relevance を保ち続けることでしょう。

SIST EN 13501-5:2016은 외부 화재 노출에 대한 지붕 테스트에서 얻은 데이터를 바탕으로 건축 제품 및 건축 요소의 화재 성능 분류 절차를 제시하는 유럽 표준입니다. 이 표준은 CEN/TS 1187:2012에서 제공하는 네 가지 테스트 방법에 따라 지붕 및 지붕 덮개의 화재 분류를 수행하며, 이에 해당하는 연장 적용 규칙을 포함하고 있습니다. 이 표준의 강점 중 하나는 특정 화재 테스트와 그에 따른 분류가 명확히 규정되어 있다는 점입니다. 이는 사용자가 선택한 지붕/지붕 덮개가 특정 응용 분야에 대해 적합한지를 평가하는 데 도움을 주며, 실제 건축물의 화재 안전성을 높이는 데 기여합니다. 또한, 테스트 방법과 적용 규칙은 해당 제품의 최종 사용 용도와 관련하여 고려되므로, 제품의 안전성을 증가시키는 데 중요한 요소로 작용합니다. 지붕의 경사도와 외관에 따른 테스트 및 분류 기준에 대한 구분은 국가 규정에 따라 달라질 수 있으며, 이는 다양한 지역에서의 적용 가능성을 높여줍니다. CEN/TS 1187의 네 가지 테스트 방법에 대한 일반 정보는 부록 A에 포함되어 있어, 사용자와 제조업체가 보다 쉽게 관련 정보를 참조할 수 있도록 돕습니다. SIST EN 13501-5:2016은 건축 제품의 화재 안전 기준을 강화하는 데 중추적인 역할을 하며, 건축 산업 전체에 걸쳐 그 중요성이 강조되고 있습니다. 이는 특히 건물의 내화 성능을 평가하고 보장하는 데 필수적인 문서이며, 건축 분야에서의 신뢰성을 높이는 데 기여하고 있습니다.
