Fire classification of construction products and building elements - Part 1: Classification using data from reaction to fire tests

This European Standard provides the reaction to fire classification procedure for all construction products, including products incorporated within building elements.
Products are considered in relation to their end use application.
This document applies to three categories, which are treated separately in this European Standard:
-   construction products, excluding floorings and linear pipe thermal insulation products;
-   floorings;
-   linear pipe thermal insulation products.
NOTE   The treatment of some families of products is still under review and can necessitate amendments to this European Standard (see European Commission Decision 2000/147/EC).

Classement au feu des produits et éléments de construction - Partie 1: Classement à partir des données d’essais de réaction au feu

La présente Norme européenne fournit la procédure de classement en réaction au feu de tous les produits
de construction, y compris les produits contenus dans les éléments de construction.
Les produits sont considérés en fonction de leur utilisation finale.
Le présent document s'applique à trois catégories de produits qui sont traitées séparément dans la présente
Norme européenne :
- produits de construction, à l’exception des revêtements de sol et des produits d’isolation thermique pour conduite
linéaire ;
- revêtements de sol ;
- produits d’isolation thermique pour conduite linéaire.
NOTE Le traitement de certaines familles de produits est toujours en cours de révision et peut nécessiter des amendements
à la présente Norme européenne (voir la Décision de la Commission Européenne 2000/147/CE).

If the classification based on the tests and criteria given in Tables 1 and 2 is not appropriate, one or more reference scenarios (representative scale tests typifying agreed hazard scenarios) can be called upon within the context of a defined procedure. This procedure is intended to be the subject of a future European Standard or Commission Decision, on the basis of an agreement between the Commission and the Member States, in consultation with CEN/CENELEC and EOTA. !NOTE 2

Table 1. A classification can only be obtained by undertaking !the tests or the extended application process required" for that particular product. A classification obtained for one product type, e.g. floorings, cannot be interpreted or accepted in a different classification system. 5 !Test methods and field of application rules" 5.1 General The following test methods are specified in relation to the envisaged reaction to fire classification. The relevant classification parameters are given in Tables 1, 2 and 3. !Direct and extended application shall be carried out as described in CEN/TS 15117 and in
prEN 15725." 5.2 Non-combustibility test (EN ISO 1182) This test identifies products that will not, or not significantly, contribute to a fire, regardless of their end use. The test is relevant for the classes A1, A2, A1fl, A2fl, A1L and A2L. 5.3 Heat of combustion test (EN ISO 1716) This test determines the potential maximum total heat release of a product when completely burning, regardless of its end use. The test is relevant for the classes A1, A2, A1fl, A2fl, A1L and A2L. It allows the determination of both the gross heat of combustion (PCS) and the net heat of combustion (PCI). 5.4 Single burning item test (EN 13823) This test evaluates the potential contribution of a product to the development of a fire, under a fire situation simulating a single burning item in a room corner near to that product. The test is relevant for the classes A2, A2L, B, BL, C, CL, D and DL. Under the conditions specified in 8.3.2 the test is also relevant for the class A1. SIST EN 13501-1:2007+A1:2009
