Fire resistance tests for non-loadbearing elements - Part 3: Curtain walling - Full configuration (complete assembly)

La présente Norme européenne spécifie une méthode de détermination de la résistance au feu des murs rideaux.
Il convient d'utiliser la présente norme conjointement avec l'EN 1363-1. Cette méthode d'essai est applicable aux murs rideaux conçus pour assurer une résistance contre le feu.
L'essai n'est pas applicable aux murs rideaux comportant un vitrage non résistant au feu.
Cette méthode d'essai évalue à des fins de classification la performance d'un assemblage complet lorsqu'il est soumis à essai avec une zone chauffée de 3 m × 3 m.
La résistance au feu des murs rideaux peut être déterminée sous des conditions d'exposition au feu interne ou externe. Dans ce dernier cas, on utilise la courbe d'exposition au feu externe donnée dans l'EN 1363-2.
Les essais sur les éléments individuels d'un mur rideau (ex. calfeutrement linéaire, panneau ou vitrage) sont réalisés à l'aide de l'article 4 de la présente Norme.

Feuerwiderstandsprüfung für nichttragende Bauteile - Teil 3: Vorhangfassaden - Gesamtausführung

Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Feuerwiderstandsdauer von Vorhang-fassaden fest.
Diese Norm gilt in Verbindung mit EN 1363 1.
Dieses Prüfverfahren ist auf feuerwiderstandsfähige Vorhangfassaden anwendbar. Das Prüfverfahren ist nicht für Vorhangfassaden mit normaler Verglasung ohne Brandschutzeigenschaften geeignet.
Dieses Prüfverfahren beurteilt das Leistungsverhalten von Vorhangfassaden als Gesamtausführung zum Zwecke der Klassifizierung, basierend auf einer Prüfung mit einer beflammten Fläche von 3 m   3 m.
Die Feuerwiderstandsdauer von Vorhangfassaden kann bei Normbrandbeanspruchung oder Außenbrandbe-anspruchung ermittelt werden. Die Brandkurve zur Außenbrandbeanspruchung wird nach EN 1363 2 benutzt.
Prüfverfahren für einzelne Teile von Vorhangfassaden (wie Bauteilfugen, Paneele oder Brandschutz-verglasungen) werden nach EN 1364 4 durchgeführt.

Essais de résistance au feu des éléments non-porteurs dans les bâtiments - Partie 3: Murs rideaux - Configuration en grandeur réelle (assemblage complet)

La présente partie de cette norme spécifie les prescriptions particulières relatives aux essais de résistance au feu des murs rideaux. L'essai met en évidence les aspects résistance au feu d'un mur rideau mais ne traite pas de soncomportement au feu pour lequel d'autres essais sont à l'étude. L'essai diffère du mode opératoire donné dans l'EN 1364-1 en ce sens qu'il examine le comportement du mur rideau ainsi que du calfeutrement, y compris l'élément plancher et les fixations utilisées pour réunir les deux.

Overview

prEN 1364-3 (CEN) specifies a standardized method to determine the fire resistance of curtain walling systems. The procedure evaluates the performance of a complete non-loadbearing curtain wall assembly tested with a heated area of 3 m × 3 m. The standard is intended to be read and used in conjunction with EN 1363-1, and where applicable EN 1363-2 for external fire exposure curves.

This document covers assemblies designed to provide fire resistance and excludes curtain walls incorporating non-fire resistant glazing. Tests of individual components of a curtain wall (for example linear seals, panels or glazing) are covered under part 4 of the series.

Key practical points: test area 3 m × 3 m, internal or external exposure options, use with EN 1363-1, and classification of the complete assembly.

Key Topics

• Scope and applicability

  • Non-loadbearing curtain walls intended to provide fire resistance.
  • Not applicable where glazing is non-fire resistant.

• Test specimen and dimensions

  • Heated area for classification: 3 m × 3 m.
  • Extensions: specimens shall extend at least 500 mm beyond supporting simulated floors and sides of the test frame unless reduced for external exposure.
  • Restraint: specimen fixed at top and bottom of simulated floor construction; one vertical edge unrestrained, the other fixed and sealed as in practice.

• Supporting constructions and verification

  • Standard simulated floor: reinforced concrete, minimum 150 mm thickness, 500 mm width, density approx. 2000 ± 500 kg/m3.
  • Standard simulated wall: minimum 150 mm thickness, 500 mm width, non-combustible material with minimum density 1200 kg/m3.
  • Test frame rigidity requirement: internal dimension increase shall not exceed 5 mm under 25 kN expansion force.

• Instrumentation and measurement

  • Thermocouples and plate thermometers positioned per EN 1363-1 requirements and the specimen layouts in this part.
  • Mean and maximum temperature measurement arrangements for exposed and unexposed faces are prescribed.

• Safety and conditioning

  • Fire testing may produce toxic gases and other hazards; risk assessment, safety instructions and training are required.
  • Specimen conditioning follows EN 1363-1.

Applications

• Assessment and classification of curtain wall fire performance for building design, regulatory compliance and product development.
• Evaluating whole-system behavior where interactions between panels, glazing, seals, mullions and fixings are critical to fire resistance.
• Supporting manufacturer declarations and third-party certification when full-assembly evidence is required.

Related Standards

• EN 1363-1: General fire resistance test requirements (mandatory companion standard).
• EN 1363-2: Alternative and additional procedures, including external fire exposure curves.
• EN 1364-4: Tests on individual curtain wall elements (panels, seals, glazing) as referenced for component assessment.

This summary highlights the practical value of prEN 1364-3 for designers, test laboratories, manufacturers and authorities engaged in curtain wall fire performance evaluation.
