EN 13501-1:2002 (E)5ForewordThis European Standard has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 127 "Fire safety in buildings", thesecretariat of which is held by BSI.This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text orby endorsement, at the latest by July 2002, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest byDecember 2002.This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the EuropeanFree Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative annex A, which is an integral part of this document.CEN, CENELEC and EOTA committees preparing technical specifications, which contain performancerequirements against reaction to fire tests, should make reference to the reaction to fire classification given in thisEuropean Standard and not refer directly to any specific fire test method.EN 13501 Fire classification of construction products and building elements consists of the following parts:Part 1: Classification using data from reaction to fire testsPart 2: Classification using data from fire resistance tests (excluding ventilation services)Part 3:Classification using data from fire resistance tests on components of normal service installations (otherthan smoke control systems)Part 4: Classification using data from fire resistance tests on components of smoke control systemsPart 5: Classification using data from external fire exposure to roof testsAccording to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the followingcountries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland,France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain,Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
EN 13501-1:2002 (E)6IntroductionThe aim of this European Standard is to define a harmonized procedure for the classification of reaction to fire ofconstruction products. This classification is based on the test procedures listed in clause 5.This European Standard has been prepared in support of the second essential requirement in the EC ConstructionProducts Directive (89/106/EEC) and as detailed in the Interpretative Document Number 2: Safety in case of fire (OJC62 Vol. 37).Background information on the Commission Decision is given in annex A.The European Commission has drawn up a list of products which, under specified conditions, can be considered to beclass A1 without testing. This information is given in the Commission Decision of 4 October 1996 establishing the list ofproducts belonging to Classes A1 and A1fl 'No contribution to fire' provided for in Decision 96/603/EEC.Parts 2, 3 and 4 of this European Standard are concerned with classification resulting from fire resistance tests. Part 5covers classification resulting from tests for external fire exposure to roofs.NOTE
If the classification based on the tests and criteria given in Tables 1 and 2 is not appropriate, one or more referencescenarios (representative scale tests typifying agreed hazard scenarios) can be called upon within the context of a definedprocedure. This procedure is intended to be the subject of a future European Standard or Commission Decision, on the basis of anagreement between the Commission and the Member States, in consultation with CEN/CENELEC and EOTA.1 ScopeThis European Standard provides the reaction to fire classification procedure for all construction products, includingproducts incorporated within building elements.Products are considered in relation to their end use application.This document applies to two categories, which are treated separately in this European Standard:-
construction products, excluding floorings;-
floorings.NOTEThe treatment of some families of products is still under review and can necessitate amendments to this standard(see European Decision 2000/147/EC).2 Normative referencesThis European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. Thesenormative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the publications are listed hereafter. Fordated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this EuropeanStandard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision.
