Fire resistance tests for non-loadbearing elements - Part 1: Walls
This document specifies a method for determining the fire resistance of non-loadbearing walls.
This document is used in conjunction with EN 1363-1.
It is applicable to internal non-loadbearing walls (partitions), with and without glazing, non-loadbearing walls consisting almost wholly of glazing (glazed non-loadbearing walls) and other internal and external non-loadbearing walls with and without glazing.
The fire resistance of external non-loadbearing walls can be determined under internal or external exposure conditions. In the latter case the external fire exposure curve given in EN 1363-2 is used.
This document is not applicable to:
a) curtain walls (external non-loadbearing walls suspended in front of the floor slab), unless explicitly permitted under EN 1364-3 or EN 1364-4 which contain details of the methodology to be used;
b) non-loadbearing walls containing door assemblies that are tested according to EN 1634-1.
Specific requirements for testing glazed elements or non-loadbearing walls incorporating glazing are given in Annex A.
Specific requirements relating to the testing of non-loadbearing external and internal walls designed to span horizontally between two independently proven fire resisting vertical structural elements are given in Annex B.
Feuerwiderstandsprüfungen für nichttragende Bauteile - Teil 1: Wände
Dieses Dokument legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Feuerwiderstandsdauer von nichttragenden Wänden fest.
Dieses Dokument gilt in Verbindung mit EN 1363 1.
Es gilt für nichttragende Innenwände (Trennwände) mit und ohne Verglasung, nahezu vollständig aus Verglasung bestehende nichttragende Wände (nichttragende Glaswände), sowie sonstige nichttragende Innen- und Außenwände mit und ohne Verglasung.
Die Feuerwiderstandsdauer von nichttragenden Außenwänden kann durch Beflammung von innen oder von außen bestimmt werden. Im letzteren Fall wird die in EN 1363 2 aufgeführte Außenbrandkurve angewendet.
Dieses Dokument gilt nicht für:
a) Vorhangfassaden (nichttragende Außenwände, die vor Decken abgehängt werden), sofern dies nicht ausdrücklich nach EN 1364 3 oder EN 1364 4, welche Einzelheiten zur anzuwendenden Vorgehensweise enthalten, zulässig ist.
b) nichttragende Wände mit Türen, die nach EN 1634 1 geprüft werden.
Besondere Anforderungen an die Prüfung von verglasten Bauteilen oder nichttragenden Wänden mit Verglasung sind in Anhang A aufgeführt.
Besondere Anforderungen an die Prüfung nichttragender Außen- und Innenwände, die dafür vorgesehen sind, horizontal gespannt zwischen zwei vertikalen tragenden Bauteilen angeordnet zu sein, für die unabhängig der Feuerwiderstand nachgewiesen wurde, sind in Anhang B aufgeführt.
Essais de résistance au feu des éléments non porteurs - Partie 1 : Murs
Ce document spécifie une méthode pour déterminer la résistance au feu des murs non porteurs.
Ce document est utilisé en conjonction avec la norme EN 1363-1.
Elle s'applique aux murs intérieurs non porteurs (cloisons), avec ou sans vitrage, aux murs non porteurs constitués presque entièrement de vitrage (murs non porteurs vitrés) et aux autres murs intérieurs et extérieurs non porteurs, avec ou sans vitrage.
La résistance au feu des murs extérieurs non porteurs peut être déterminée dans des conditions d'exposition interne ou externe. Dans ce dernier cas, la courbe d'exposition au feu externe donnée dans la norme EN 1363-2 est utilisée.
Ce document n'est pas applicable à :
a) les murs-rideaux (murs extérieurs non porteurs suspendus devant la dalle de plancher), à moins qu'ils ne soient explicitement autorisés par les normes EN 1364-3 ou EN 1364-4, qui contiennent des détails sur la méthodologie à utiliser ;
b) les murs non porteurs contenant des ensembles de portes testés conformément à la norme EN 1634-1.
Les exigences spécifiques pour l'essai des éléments vitrés ou des murs non porteurs comportant des vitrages sont indiquées à l'annexe A.
Les exigences spécifiques relatives à l'essai des murs extérieurs et intérieurs non porteurs conçus pour s'étendre horizontalement entre deux éléments structuraux verticaux résistants au feu dont l'efficacité a été démontrée de manière indépendante sont indiquées à l'annexe B.

This document (prEN 1364-1:2025) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 127 “Fire safety
in buildings”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 1364-1:2015.

b) Design with board / panels and joints defined, figures added;
c) Direct field of application (DIAP)for glazed constructions (Annex A) updated based on rules given
in EN 15254-4.
The EN 1364 series, Fire resistance tests for non-loadbearing elements consists of the following parts:
— Part 1: Walls;
— Part 2: Ceilings;
— Part 3: Curtain walling - Full configuration (complete assembly);
— Part 4: Curtain walling - Part configuration;
— Part 5: Air transfer grilles.
This document has been prepared under a standardization request addressed to CEN by the European
Commission. The Standing Committee of the EFTA States subsequently approves these requests for its
Member States.
Introduction
The purpose of this test is to measure the ability of a representative test specimen of a non-loadbearing
wall to resist the spread of fire from one side to another.
It is applicable to non-loadbearing walls, with and without glazing, non-loadbearing walls consisting
almost wholly of glazing and other non-loadbearing internal and external non-loadbearing walls.
It is not applicable to curtain walls (external non-loadbearing walls suspended in front of the floor slab),
unless explicitly permitted under EN 1364-3 or EN 1364-4 which should contain details of the
methodology to be used.
For external fire exposure to a non-loadbearing external wall, the external fire exposure curve given in
EN 1363-2 is used.
CAUTION — The attention of all persons concerned with managing and carrying out this fire
resistance test is drawn to the fact that fire testing can be hazardous and that there is a possibility
that toxic and/or harmful smoke and gases can be involved during the test. Mechanical and
operational hazards might also arise during the construction of the test elements or structures,
their testing and disposal of test residues.
An assessment of all potential hazards and risks to health should be made and safety precautions
should be identified and provided. Written safety instructions should be issued. Appropriate
training should be given to relevant personnel. Laboratory personnel should ensure that they
follow written safety instructions at all times.
