Overview

prEN 15269-5 (CEN) defines a methodology for the extended application of fire resistance test results obtained in accordance with EN 1634-1. The standard applies to hinged and pivoted metal framed, glazed doorsets and openable windows constructed from steel (any kind) and aluminium. Throughout the document the term doorset is used to cover both doorsets and door assemblies.

Key objectives are to provide a structured approach for manufacturers, test houses and compliance bodies to:

• Extend the applicability of a full-scale EN 1634-1 test result to a wider range of product variants
• Minimize unnecessary retesting while maintaining credible fire-resistance classifications
• Define reporting and restriction requirements for any extended application

Note: prEN 15269-5 does not cover horizontal doorsets and does not address the effect on Classification 'C'.

Key Topics

• Scope and prerequisites: A representative doorset must first be tested to EN 1634-1 and achieve a classification at least equal to the required extended classification (EN 13501-2 basis).

• Extended application coverage: Subject to required tests (Clause 4), the extension process can cover: integrity (E), integrity & radiation (EW), integrity & insulation (EI1 or EI2), glazed elements and vision panels, air transfer grilles (louvres/vents), side/transom/over panels, building hardware, finishes, intumescent and non-intumescent seals, and alternative supporting constructions.

• Use of Annex A: Annex A contains the Construction Parameter Variation tables. Users identify desired variations, locate them in Annex A (columns (1) and (2)), and determine applicability from column (3) or, if further testing is required, options in column (4).

• Testing strategy: The standard distinguishes full scale tests (EN 1634-1) and small scale tests for items of hardware (EN 1634-2) and guides selection of the most onerous specimen for further tests when expanding the field of application.

• Reporting: Requirements include an extended application report and a classification report that record the permitted variations, any restrictions and the rules applied.

Applications

prEN 15269-5 is practical for:

• Door and window manufacturers seeking to reduce repeat testing across a family of glazed metal doorsets
• Certification bodies assessing the validity of extended classifications for glazed doors and openable windows
• Specifiers and architects needing clarity on what glazed metal doorset options can be covered by an existing test

Benefits include clearer pathways to compliance, more efficient product ranges, and reduced test costs while retaining robust fire-resistance evidence.

Related Standards

• EN 1634-1: Fire resistance test method (reference test)
• EN 1634-2: Characterisation tests for building hardware
• EN 13501-2: Classification using fire resistance data
• EN 15269-1: General requirements for extended application of test results

For implementation, users should consult Annex A parameter tables and follow the procedural steps in Clause 4 to establish the maximum field of extended application and prepare the required extended application and classification reports.

4 Determination of the field of extended application
4.1 General
4.1.1 Before there can be any consideration for extended application, a representative doorset shall
have been tested in accordance with EN 1634-1 to achieve a test result which could generate a
classification in accordance with EN 13501-2 at least equal to the classification subsequently required
from extended application considerations.
4.1.2 A review of the doorset construction parameters can indicate that one or more characteristics
may be improved by a particular parameter variation. All evaluations shall be made on the basis of
retaining the classifications obtainable from testing to EN 1634-1, including those lower than the test
duration. However, this shall never lead to an increased classification for any specific parameter beyond
that achieved during any one resistance to fire test unless specifically identified in the relevant
Construction Parameter Variation tables.
4.1.3 If, by following the ensuing procedure, any part of the classification cannot be achieved by
extended application rules that part of classification shall be omitted from the subsequent extended
application report and classification report.
4.2 How to use extended application rules in Annex A
4.2.1 Identify the variations from the original resistance to fire 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 Establish from the contents of column (3) of Annex A whether any extended application is
available beyond the direct application rules (DIAP) 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 (3) of Annex A.
4.2.5 Where the variations required can only be achieved from additional testing, the additional test
should be made on a representative specimen type, i.e. a doorset of the same or more onerous
configuration. Alternatively, column (4) of Annex A identifies an option for alternative testing and
relevant test parameters.
The most onerous configuration shall be the one with the lowest relevant performance in terms of
mode of failure and/or highest distortion but shall also be evaluated taking the intended construction
parameter variation(s) into account. For example, if the construction parameter variation involves a
change to glazing or side panel and over panel configurations then the previous result where these have
been tested would need to be used to make the evaluation of most onerous. The result for a single
unglazed doorset would not be suitable and can therefore be discounted when making the evaluation.
4.3 Procedure for maximum field of extended application
4.3.1 It is possible to provide an extended field of application from a single test. However, where a
manufacturer intends to manufacture a range of doorsets incorporating single doorsets and also double
doors with or without side, transom or flush over panels, with or without glazing, louvres
(ventilation/air transfer grilles), with alternative elements of building hardware, etc., it is
recommended that careful consideration is given to the complete range of doorset designs and options.
This helps to minimize the testing required before testing commences.
4.3.2 Establish all the parameter variations which are required to be part of the product range.
4.3.3 Determine which are the most important specification requirements and incorporate as many
as possible into the specimen(s) for the first tests in the series.
4.3.4 Conduct the first resistance test or a series of tests and then establish which of the original
desired parameter variations have not been covered by the resistance to fire tests, including direct
application possibilities.
4.3.5 Identify these parameter variations in Annex A and establish if any extended application is
possible without further testing.
4.3.6 Record this for the extended application report together with any restrictions and rules given in
column (3) in Table A.1.
4.3.7 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 4.3.5.
4.3.8 Determine if the product range is to include only single leaf doorsets or if the range is to also
include double leaf configurations. Where only single doorsets are to be part of the product range, the
outstanding construction parameter variations shall only be incorporated into specimens for the single
leaf doorset. 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 resistance to fire tests or in the weakest option,
as defined in column (4) of Table A.1, double leaf doorset configurations.
4.3.9 Select the required outstanding parameter variations from column (1) and column (2) of
Table A.1 and observe from column (4) of Table A.1 which are the most appropriate weakest specimen
options for further testing.
4.3.10 If the complete selection of required parameter variations has not been covered by the tests
completed in accordance with 4.3.8 and 4.3.9 above, then an appropriate resistance to fire test or tests
may be repeated with the additional product variations incorporated.
4.4 Analysis of resistance to fire test results
4.4.1 In order to maximize the extended field of application, it is important that the test reports shall
record details of any premature integrity and/or insulation failure, as well as details of any significant
distortion.
4.4.2 Where a series of resistance to fire tests have been conducted, the extended field of application
shall be based on the lowest performance achieved from the complete series of resistance to fire tests
unless premature failure has been attributed to one or more specific construction parameter variation.
4.4.3 Where it has been possible to clearly 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), provided the requirements of 4.1.1 are met. Where the specific
Construction Parameter variation requires Category B performance and where failures can be identified
as having no relevance to this aspect of the construction, they can be disregarded, and the failure time
and associated Category revised accordingly.
5 Extended application report
Prepare an extended application report in accordance with the requirements of Clause 6 of
EN 15269-1:2019, based on the results of evaluations in accordance with the above.
When additional test data based on similar designs are used to extend the field of application, the
rationale for using the test data should be mentioned in the EXAP report.
6 Classification report
The classification report shall be determined from the results of the extended application report and
presented in accordance with EN 13501-2.
Annex A
(normative)
Construction parameter variations
Table A.1 is designed to be used in the field of fire resistance testing of hinged and pivoted metal framed
glazed doorsets and openable windows.
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 EN 13501-2. Only results from
tests in accordance with European standards can be used as basis for extended application.
The first two columns identify possible variations to the construction details of the specimen tested.
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 shall be used to establish
high, medium and low distortion doorsets as measured using the maximum relative movement at any
position between the edge of the door leaf and door frame or between the meeting edges of door leaves
or the relative movement of the framing members for panelled systems. The measurements shall be
taken from the start of the test at any time during the complete required classification period. The
deflections shall be measured at the positions given in EN 1634-1:
— Low: < 40 % of effective rebate depth;
— Medium: ≥ 40 % and ≤ 85 % of effective rebate depth;
— High: > 85 % of effective rebate depth.
The evaluation of the influence of a parameter variation on performance characteristics (E/EW/EI) lead
to the judgement of the possibility of the extension of the field of application, the results of which are
given in column (3). In certain cases in column (3), it is a requirement to achieve Category B; the
requirements for this are given in EN 1634-1.
Where additional tests are deemed to be necessary, the type of specimen approved for incorporation of
the changed parameter is defined in column (4). Where it is possible to use information from tests
performed on one configuration for evidence on a different configuration, this allowance has been made
in order to reduce the overall number of tests required for extended application evaluation e.g. single
action doorsets to double action doorsets.
Where an additional test is required in column (4) the test is a full scale test with the specimen opening
outwards (away from the furnace) unless it is otherwise specified.
In order to maximize the possible field of extended application from a minimum number of tests the
parameter changes have been spread over a series of test specimens. The recommended tests for each
parameter depends on the classification required and the preferred direction of testing indicated in
column (4).
Where more than a single parameter variation is required, the influence on other variations shall also
be taken into account.
All the rules in Table A.1 with exception are applicable to doorsets and openable windows. However, in
the text only the word “doorset” is used. The word “doorset” can be replaced by “openable windows” in
every rule.
All the rules in Table A.1 influencing glass dimensions shall respect the rules for changing them, as
mentioned in Table A.1, part F.
