Glass in building - Safety in case of fire, fire resistance - Glass testing methodology for the purpose of classification

This document specifies the testing methodology to be used for glass products that are claiming fire resistance. The methodology covers type testing as defined in the relevant glass product standard.
NOTE   This document provides guidance with the declaration of the characteristic, Safety in case of fire − Resistance to fire (for glass for use in a glazed assembly intended specifically for fire resistance) for the CE marking.
The same methodology can also be used to determine the performance classification for market applications (see Annex B).
The methodology covers all glass product types that may require testing and classification for fire resistance.
Fire resistance testing covers end use applications, for example:
-   doors;
-   partitions, walls (including curtain walling);
-   floors, roofs;
-   ceilings.

Glas im Bauwesen - Brandsicherheit, Feuerwiderstandsfähigkeit - Verfahrensweise von Glasprüfungen zur Klassifizierung

Dieses Dokument legt die anzuwendenden Prüfverfahren für Glasprodukte fest, für die eine Feuerwiderstandsfähigkeit beansprucht wird. Dieses Verfahren umfasst die Typprüfung [en: Type Testing (TT)] nach der relevanten Produktnorm für Glas.
ANMERKUNG   Dieses Dokument gibt Anleitungen für die Deklaration der Eigenschaft "Brandsicherheit - Feuer-widerstandsfähigkeit (für Glas zum Einsatz in einer speziell für den Brandschutz vorgesehenen Verglasung)" im Rahmen der CE Kennzeichnung.
Dasselbe Verfahren kann auch zur Festlegung der Brandschutzklassifizierung für Marktanwendungen (siehe Anhang B) angewendet werden.
Die Verfahrensweise gilt für alle Glasarten, bei denen Prüfung und Klassifizierung des Feuerwiderstands relevant sein kann.
Feuerwiderstandsprüfungen decken Endanwendungen ab, wie z. B.:
-   Türen;
-   Trennwände, Wände (einschließlich Vorhangfassaden);
-   Decken, Dächer;
-   Unterdecken.

Verre dans la construction - Sécurité en cas d’incendie, résistance au feu - Méthodologie d’essai du verre à des fins de classification

Le présent document spécifie la méthodologie d’essai à appliquer pour les produits verriers déclarés résistants au feu. La méthodologie couvre les essais de type tels qu’ils sont définis dans la norme de produit verrier applicable.
NOTE   Le présent document fournit des lignes directrices sur la déclaration de la caractéristique « Sécurité en cas d’incendie - Résistance au feu (pour le verre utilisé dans un ensemble vitré spécialement prévu pour la résistance au feu) » pour le marquage CE.
La même méthodologie peut également être appliquée pour déterminer la classification de performance pour les applications sur le marché (voir l’Annexe B).
La méthodologie couvre tous les types de produits verriers pouvant nécessiter des essais et une classification de la résistance au feu.
Les essais de résistance au feu couvrent les applications finales, telles que :
-   les portes ;
-   les cloisons, les murs (y compris les façades rideaux) ;
-   les planchers, les toitures ;
-   les plafonds.
