Reaction to fire tests for building products - Building products excluding floorings exposed to the thermal attack by a single burning item

This document specifies a method of test for determining the reaction to fire performance of construction products excluding floorings, and excluding products which are indicated in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/364, when exposed to thermal attack by a single burning item (SBI). The calculation procedures are given in Annex A. Information on the precision of the test method is given in Annex B. The calibration procedures are given in Annexes C and D, of which Annex C is a normative annex.
NOTE   This document has been developed to determine the reaction to fire performance of essentially flat products. The treatment of some families of products, e.g. linear products (pipes, ducts, cables etc.), can need special rules.

Prüfungen zum Brandverhalten von Bauprodukten - Thermische Beanspruchung durch einen einzelnen brennenden Gegenstand für Bauprodukte mit Ausnahme von Bodenbelägen

Dieses Dokument legt ein Prüfverfahren zur Bestimmung des Brandverhaltens von Bauprodukten bei thermischer Beanspruchung durch einen einzelnen brennenden Gegenstand (SBI: „Single Burning Item“), ausgenommen Bodenbeläge sowie Bauprodukte, die in der Delegierten Verordnung (EU) 2016/364 aufgeführt sind, fest. Die Berechnungsverfahren sind in Anhang A angegeben. Informationen zur Genauigkeit des Prüfverfahrens sind in Anhang B angegeben. Die Kalibrier¬verfahren sind in Anhang C und Anhang D angegeben, wobei Anhang C normativ ist.
ANMERKUNG   Dieses Dokument wurde erstellt, um das Brandverhalten von im Wesentlichen ebenen Bauprodukten zu bestimmen. Die Behandlung von einigen Produktfamilien, wie Rohre, Lüftungsleitungen, Kabel usw. kann besondere Regeln erfordern.

Essais de réaction au feu des produits de construction - Produits de construction à l’exclusion des revêtements de sol exposés à une sollicitation thermique provoquée par un objet isolé en feu

Le présent document définit une méthode d’essai de détermination de la performance de réaction au feu des produits de construction, à l’exception des revêtements de sol et des produits figurant dans le Règlement délégué (UE) 2016/364, exposés à la sollicitation thermique provoquée par un « Single Burning Item » (SBI) (Objet Isolé en Feu) (OIF). Les méthodes de calcul sont fournies à l’Annexe A. Des informations relatives à la précision de la méthode d’essai sont données à l’Annexe B. Les méthodes d’étalonnage figurent dans les Annexes C et D, l’Annexe C étant normative.
NOTE   Le présent document a été élaboré pour déterminer la performance de réaction au feu de produits essentiellement plats. Le traitement de quelques familles de produits linéaires (tubes, conduits, câbles, etc.) peut nécessiter des règles particulières.
