Overview

prEN 15269-2 (CEN) defines a methodology for the extended application of fire resistance test results for single‑leaf, hinged or pivoted steel doorsets installed into rebated steel frames. Intended as a model proposal (draft, 2005), the document explains how to extrapolate results obtained from fire resistance tests performed to EN 1634-1 so manufacturers and competent bodies can demonstrate wider product ranges without repeating every full-scale test.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope and limitations
  • Applies to single leaf, hinged or pivoted steel‑based doorsets with rebated steel frames (planned future expansion to other steel doorset types).
  • Extended application must retain the original classification obtained from EN 1634-1; higher or lower re‑classification is not permitted.
• Mandatory starting point
  • Doorsets must be tested and classified per EN 1634-1 and EN 13501-2 before any extension is considered.
• Extension targets
  • Extension may cover integrity only (E), radiation control (EW), and insulated classifications (EI1, EI2), plus:
    • glazed elements, louvres, vents
    • side, transom or overpanels
    • building hardware variations
    • decorative finishes and seals (intumescent, smoke, draught, acoustic)
    • alternative supporting constructions
• Test protocols and annexes
  • Annex A: Testing protocol for uninsulated doorsets (E tests, test specimens E.1–E.4)
  • Annex B: Testing protocol for insulated/radiation control doorsets
  • Annex C: Normative construction parameter variations and how to assess them
  • Annex D: Protocols for side, transom and flush overpanels
  • Annex E: Informative figures related to Annex C
• Reporting
  • Prepare an Extended Application Report (EXAP) in accordance with prEN 15269‑1 and produce a classification report per EN 13501‑2. Evaluation is to be performed by fire experts or competent bodies.

Practical applications and who uses it

• Manufacturers of steel fire doorsets use prEN 15269-2 to plan test programs that maximise the field of direct and extended application, reducing the need for repetitive full-scale testing.
• Test laboratories and notified/certification bodies apply the methodology when assessing whether variations are covered by existing test data.
• Specifiers, architects and fire safety engineers rely on EXAPs and classification reports to select compliant doorsets for building projects.
• Useful for quality managers aiming to validate ranges with different hardware, glazing, seals or finishes while maintaining certified fire performance.

3 Definitions
For the purposes of this part, the definitions given in EN1363-1, EN ISO 13943, EN 1634-1 and
EXAP prEN 15269-1 together with the following apply:
3.1
full scale test
a test of a full size door element in accordance with EN 1634-1
3.2
small scale test
a test on elements of Building Hardware in accordance with prEN 1634-2 and where the decision
process, given in prEN 1634-2, permits its use. This is abbreviated as SS in annex C
3.3
effective rebate depth
the dimension of the overlapping adjacent parts of door leaf edge relative to the door frame, transom
or side panel or flush overpanel
4 Determination of the field of extended application
4.1 General
4.1.1 Before there can be any consideration for extended application the doorset must have been
tested and classified in accordance with EN1634-1 and EN 13501-2 respectively in order to establish
a classification for the doorset.
4.1.2 Evaluation to a higher classification is not possible.
4.1.3 All evaluations shall be made on the basis of retaining the classification obtained from testing
to EN1634-1.
4.1.4 There is no procedure for evaluation of a lower classification. If, by following the ensuing
procedure, any part of the classification cannot be achieved by extended application theory, that
element of classification shall be omitted from the subsequent extended application report and
classification report.
4.2 Procedure for Evaluation
4.2.1 Identify the variations from the original test specimen(s) which are required to be covered by
an extended application report.
4.2.2 Locate the variations in the appropriate parameter variation by reference to columns (1) and
(2) of annex A.
4.2.3 Review the type of classification to be retained from column (3) and establish from the
contents of column (5) whether any extended application is available beyond the direct application
rules in EN 1634-1 without the need for further testing.
4.2.4 Where this is deemed to be possible this can be recorded in the extended application report
together with any appropriate restrictions and the stated rules from column (5).
4.2.5 Where the variations required can only be achieved from additional testing, the additional test
can be made on a similar specimen type (i.e. single-leaf doorset) to the original test against which the
extended application is sought. Alternatively, column (6) identifies an alternative weakest option for
alternative testing and relevant specimen types are proposed in column (7). These types are identified
by code numbers which can be interpreted from annex B or Annex C. These are generally specimen
types which can present additional options for the product manufacturer.
4.3 Procedure for maximum field of extended application
Where a manufacturer envisages to manufacture a range of doors incorporating single doors and also
double doors with or without side, transom or over panels, with or without glazing, louvres or
ventilation grilles, with alternative element of builders hardware, etc., it is recommended that the test
protocols provided in Annex A and Annex B for integrity only doors or insulated (including radiation
control doors), respectively, be given careful consideration before testing commences.
Establish all the parameter variations which are required to be part of the product range, and in
particular for single leaf hinged or pivoted steel based doorsets into rebated frames.
Determine which are the most important specification requirements and incorporate as many as
possible into the specimen(s) for the E1 (annex A) or I1 (annex B) test.
Complete the E1 or I1 test(s) and prepare a field of direct application and a classification report from
the results of the test.
Establish which of the original desired parameter variations have not been covered by the direct
application classification report.
Identify these parameter variations in Annex C and establish if any extended application is possible
without further testing.
Record this for the extended application report together with any restrictions and rules given in
column (5).
Evaluate which, if any, of the desired parameter variations have not been covered by the field of direct
application or the initial field of extended application derived from 4.3.6. above.
Determine if the product range is to include only single test doorsets or if the range is to also include
double leaf configurations. Where only single doorsets are to be part of the product range then the
outstanding construction parameter variations shall only be incorporated into specimens for the single
leaf doorset tests indicated in the test protocols in Annex A or Annex B. Where single leaf and double
leaf doorsets are to be included in the product range, the outstanding construction parameter
variations for the extended application of single leaf doorsets may be incorporated into either repeated
single leaf doorset tests or in the weakest option double leaf doorset configurations indicated in test
protocols in Annex A and/or Annex B.
Select the required outstanding parameter variations from column (1) and column (2) of Annex C and
observe from column (7) which are the most appropriate weakest specimen options for further testing.
If the complete selection of required parameter variations have not been covered by the tests
completed in accordance with 4.3.9 and 4.3.10 above, then an appropriate test or tests may be
repeated with the additional product variations incorporated.
4.4 Interpretation of Test Results
4.4.1 In order to maximise the field of extended application, it is important that the test reports shall
record details of any premature integrity and/or insulation failure.
4.4.2 Where a series of tests have been conducted, the field of extended application shall be based
on the lowest performance achieved from the complete series of tests unless premature failure has
been attributed to one or more specific construction parameter variation.
4.4.3 Where it has been possible, to identify specific parameter failures, the extended application
for all other construction parameter variations can be based on the performance achieved after
isolating the premature failure(s).
5 Extended application report
5.1 Prepare an extended application report in accordance with the requirements of Clause 5 of
EXAP prEN 15269-1, based on the results of evaluations in accordance with the above.
6 Classification report
The classification report shall be determined from the results of the extended application report and
presented in accordance with annex A of EN 13501-2.

Annex C
(normative)
Construction Parameter Variations
This table is designed to be used by competent experts in the field of fire resistance testing of hinged steel
doorsets.
The table shall only be used to evaluate a field of extended application when at least one positive fire resistance
test to EN 1634-1 has resulted in a classification according to prEN 13501-2.
The first two columns identify possible variations to the construction details of the specimen tested.
The type of classification achieved from the test can be identified as the ‘Type’ section of column 3 as insulated,
radiation control or integrity only. For some parameters, it is necessary to evaluate whether the specimen
displayed a high, medium or low level of distortion during the test. Where this is the case the following levels
should be used to provide high, medium and low distortion doorsets:
 low <40 % of effective rebate depth
 medium >40 % and <85 % of effective rebate depth
 high >85 % of effective rebate depth
The effect of the change in each parameter is evaluated for each characteristic in column 3 under E for effects on
integrity, I for effects on insulation (whether an I or I class) and W for the effects on radiation control for EW
1 2
doors.
These evaluations lead to the judgement of the possibility of the extension of the field of application the results of
which are given in column 4.
Where additional tests are deemed to be necessary the type of specimen approved for incorporation of the
changed parameter is defined in column 5. Although this standard is specifically for single doorsets, where it is
possible to use information from tests performed on double doorsets, this allowance has been made in order to
reduce the overall number of tests required for single and double doorset field of extended application evaluation.
In order to maximise the possible field of extended application from a minimum number of tests the parameter
changes have been spread over a series of test specimens defined in Annex A and Annex B. The recommended
tests for each parameter are dependants on the classification required and the preferred options are shown
under the appropriate classification in column 6.
Each construction parameter variation may only be applied in isolation from other variations. If after
consideration of a specific variation, additional changes are required to be made to the specimen, these
may be made providing the implications on other variations are also taken into account.
