Overview

EN 1634-1:2014/FprA1:2017 covers the fire resistance test procedures for door and shutter assemblies and openable windows. This draft amendment (prA1) from CEN/TC 127 updates normative references, clarifies test specimen and conditioning requirements, and refines thermocouple placement and figure/table notations. The amendment aims to harmonise test practice, improve reproducibility, and provide alternative acceptance for certain lift landing door applications.

Key Topics

• Scope amendment: Doors tested and classified to EN 1634-1 and EN 13501-2 may be accepted for lift landing door applications as an alternative to EN 81-58, noting national regulation constraints.
• Normative references: Updates include EN 1363-1, EN 12519 and EN ISO 13943; EN 14600 reference is deleted and EN 16034 is introduced in test condition and conditioning clauses.
• Test specimen and conditioning: Changes clarify references to product standards (EN 16034) and remove obsolete references. Test specimen preparation is aligned with the revised normative set.
• Thermocouple placement: Modifications to Clause 9.1.2 refine unexposed-face thermocouple locations, add exceptions for building hardware passing through the doorset, adjust corner offsets (20 mm → 15 mm) and add guidance for Extended Application procedures requiring additional thermocouples.
• Figures and tables: Table 2 (directions to be tested) is updated with clarified footnotes; keys to Figures 11, 12 and 16 updated; Figure 24 dimensions changed from “≥12” to “≥30” in four places to improve measurement consistency.
• Bibliography: The draft replaces the prEN 16034 reference with the published EN 16034 product standard and relocates it into Clause 2.

Applications

This standard and its amendment are directly relevant to:

• Manufacturers of doors, shutters and openable windows seeking harmonised fire-resistance classification.
• Test laboratories performing fire resistance and smoke control testing, requiring clear thermocouple and specimen preparation rules.
• Building designers and specifiers evaluating door performance for fire safety and lift landing applications.
• Certification bodies and authorities that assess compliance against EN 1634-1 and related product standards.

Practical benefits include clearer test methods, improved comparability of results across laboratories, and potential acceptance of EN 1634-1 test outcomes for lift landing doors under certain conditions.

Related Standards

• EN 1634-1:2014 (base standard)
• EN 16034 (pedestrian doorsets, industrial/commercial doors and openable windows)
• EN 13501-2 (reaction/classification for fire resistance)
• EN 81-58 (lift landing door tests - referenced as an alternative)
• EN 1363-1, EN 12519, EN ISO 13943 (updated normative references)

For manufacturers, test houses and compliance teams, this amendment clarifies procedures and aligns EN 1634-1 with product and application standards to support consistent fire-resistance testing of door assemblies and openable windows.
