General Information
Relations
Overview - EN 15659:2019 (Light fire storage units)
EN 15659:2019 is the CEN European standard that specifies classification and test methods for light fire storage units designed to protect paper media and valuables from fire. It defines two protection levels - LFS 30 and LFS 60 - based on controlled furnace tests that measure the maximum temperature rise inside the storage space. The standard focuses on reproducible type testing, technical documentation, and the correlation between tested specimens and production models.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Protection levels: LFS 30 and LFS 60, defined by a specified fire exposure period and a maximum internal temperature increase (threshold value used in the standard: 150 K above a starting temperature of (21 ± 1) °C at every measuring point).
- Scope limitation: Intended for paper media except paper grades that lose data below 170 °C; long-term post-fire protection is outside this standard and referenced to EN 1047-1.
- Test principle: Fire endurance assessed in a furnace while measuring interior temperatures; fire exposure time starts from test initiation.
- Test specimens and documentation:
- Two identical units required per tested model (one for the fire test, one for correlation/filling verification).
- Models representing the smallest and largest internal height in a Technical Design Range (TDR) shall be tested.
- Mass difference between the two specimens shall not exceed 10%.
- Wall and door thickness in the specimen shall not exceed ±3% of nominal dimensions.
- Submit full technical documentation: drawings, material specs, thicknesses, rabbet geometry, seals, boltwork, lock configuration, and protection material details.
- Technical Design Range (TDR):
- Models grouped when they share product type, construction features and internal dimensions.
- Internal width tolerance: ±15% around the mean width.
- Internal depth tolerance: ±20% around the mean depth.
- Classification scheme: Test results map to the LFS classification (see Table 1 in the standard).
Practical applications and users
EN 15659:2019 is used by:
- Manufacturers of light fire storage units to design and demonstrate product compliance and to define technical design ranges.
- Independent test laboratories and certification bodies for conducting type tests and issuing test reports.

Introduction
The testing conditions given in this document provide a basis for simulating fires to determine, in a
reproducible way, the fire resistance of light fire storage units at various protection levels. The protection
levels enable a comparison to be made of the resistance against fire provided by different constructions.
The threshold value for the maximum temperature increase of 150 K at every measuring point in the
protection levels LFS 30 and LFS 60 for light fire storage units from a starting temperature of (21 ± 1)°C,
as defined in this document, refers to the relatively short-term stress due to high temperatures during a
fire test. It is not normally experienced by paper media stored in light fire storage units in the normal and
correct way.
1 Scope
This document specifies requirements for light fire storage units providing protection against fire.
The method of test is specified to determine the ability of light fire storage units to protect paper media
from the effects of fire. Two levels of fire exposure periods (LFS 30 and LFS 60) are specified using the
maximum temperature increase permitted within the storage space of the light fire storage unit.
Protection after the fire exposure of 30 min (LFS 30) or 60 min (LFS 60) is not ensured by this document,
but by European Standard EN 1047-1. Requirements are also specified for the test specimen, the technical
documentation for the test specimen, correlation of the test specimen with the technical documentation,
preparation for type testing and test procedures.
A scheme to classify the light fire storage units from the test results is also given (see Table 1).

Die Norm EN 15659:2019 legt umfassende Anforderungen für leichte Brandschutzlagerungseinheiten fest, die einen entscheidenden Schutz gegen Brandgefahren bieten. Insbesondere wird der Fokus auf die Widerstandsfähigkeit dieser Einheiten gegenüber Feuer gelegt. Die normativen Vorgaben ermöglichen es, die Fähigkeit der leichten Brandschutzlagerungseinheiten zu testen, Papiermedien vor den Auswirkungen von Feuer zu schützen. Die Norm differenziert zwischen zwei Niveaus der Brandexposition: LFS 30 und LFS 60. Diese Klassifizierung beruht auf der maximalen Temperaturerhöhung, die innerhalb des Lagerraums der leichten Brandschutzlagerungseinheit zulässig ist. Während das Dokument diese Niveaus festlegt, wird jedoch darauf hingewiesen, dass der tatsächliche Schutz nach der Brandexposition von 30 Minuten (LFS 30) oder 60 Minuten (LFS 60) nicht durch diese Norm, sondern durch die europäische Norm EN 1047-1 gewährleistet ist. Ein weiterer wichtiger Aspekt dieser Norm ist die detaillierte Beschreibung der Anforderungen an das Prüfobjekt sowie die technische Dokumentation, die mit dem Prüfobjekt korreliert. Dies umfasst auch die Vorbereitung für Typprüfungen und die Prüfverfahren, was die Relevanz und Praktikabilität der Norm unterstreicht. Die strukturierte Herangehensweise zur Klassifizierung der leichten Brandschutzlagerungseinheiten basierend auf den Testergebnissen, die in Tabelle 1 dargestellt ist, bietet eine klare Orientierung und stärkt die Anwendung dieser Norm in der Praxis. Die Norm EN 15659:2019 ist somit von großer Bedeutung für Hersteller und Anwender von leichten Brandschutzlagerungseinheiten, da sie nicht nur klare Tests und Klassifikationen bereitstellt, sondern auch einen wichtigen Beitrag zum Schutz von wertvollen Dokumenten und Medien in Brandfällen leistet.
La norme EN 15659:2019 offre une approche structurée pour la classification et les méthodes de test des unités de stockage légères résistant au feu. Son champ d'application est particulièrement pertinent pour les unités de stockage légères, spécifiant des exigences claires pour la protection contre le feu, ce qui répond à un besoin urgent dans des secteurs où la sauvegarde des documents sensibles est primordiale. Les points forts de cette norme incluent la définition de deux niveaux d'exposition au feu (LFS 30 et LFS 60), permettant d’évaluer la capacité des unités de stockage à préserver les médias papier des effets dévastateurs du feu. Ce cadre de test est essentiel pour garantir que les utilisateurs puissent choisir des solutions de stockage appropriées en fonction de leurs besoins spécifiques. En précisant les conditions de température maximale autorisée pendant l'exposition au feu, la norme EN 15659:2019 assure également une méthode de test rigoureuse, favorisant la transparence et la confiance dans les résultats. Un autre aspect notable de cette norme est la documentation technique requise pour les échantillons de test, qui facilite la corrélation entre les spécifications et les résultats des tests. Cela aide à assurer la cohérence et la fiabilité des méthodes de test, permettant ainsi aux fabricants et aux utilisateurs de mieux comprendre la performance des unités de stockage légères. Bien que la norme ne garantisse pas la protection après une exposition au feu de 30 minutes ou 60 minutes, elle reste cruciale car elle fournit une base solide pour une évaluation plus poussée, en se référant à la norme européenne EN 1047-1 pour la validation finale de la protection. De plus, le système de classification des unités de stockage légères basé sur les résultats des tests (voir Table 1) permet une évaluation facile et rapide des produits disponibles sur le marché. En résumé, la norme EN 15659:2019 se distingue par sa clarté et sa pertinence dans le domaine des unités de stockage légères résistant au feu, établissant des critères précis qui facilitent la conformité et assurent une protection adaptée contre le feu.

The scope of this standard is notably focused on defining the requirements and testing methodologies necessary to assess the effectiveness of these units in protecting paper media from fire damage. One of the key strengths of the EN 15659:2019 standard is its clear classification system for light fire storage units based on test results. This classification not only facilitates the understanding of the fire resistance capabilities of these units but also aids manufacturers and consumers in making informed decisions regarding their fire protection needs. The inclusion of specific exposure periods, LFS 30 and LFS 60, aligns with contemporary understanding of fire risks and enables users to choose units that best fit their operational needs. Additionally, the standard outlines detailed methodologies for testing including requirements for the test specimen, ensuring that the tests conducted are both rigorous and reproducible. This emphasis on technical documentation adds a layer of reliability to the assessment process, bolstering trust in the safety measures that light fire storage units are intended to provide. Furthermore, while the EN 15659:2019 standard specifies criteria for fire exposure during testing, it acknowledges the broader framework established by EN 1047-1 for ensuring protection post-exposure. This collaborative approach enhances the relevance of the EN 15659:2019 standard within the European regulatory landscape, confirming its adaptability and alignment with existing standards. In summary, the EN 15659:2019 standard represents a vital resource for manufacturers and users of light fire storage units, enhancing fire protection measures through rigorous testing methods and structured classifications while ensuring compliance with relevant Euro-centric regulations.
