ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards

bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out

through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical

organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.

ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of

electrotechnical standardization.

ISO 3008-4:2020(E)
Introduction

This fire test method provides a methodology for testing linear joint fire seal materials intended to be

used to seal the ‘linear joint gap’ between a fire door frame and the supporting construction.

This test methodology is only appropriate for the evaluation of alternate linear joint fire seal materials

used to seal the gap between a fire door frame and the supporting construction, if:

a) The fire door frame, doors and supporting construction have already been successfully tested

according to ISO 3008-1 and the gap between the door frame and the supporting construction does

not exceed 6 mm, provided the door and frame assembly does not permit the penetration of a gap

gauge, as specified in ISO 834-1:1999, 8.4.2; or

b) The fire door frame, doors and supporting construction have already been successfully tested

according to ISO 3008-1 and during the full-scale fire resistance test, deflection of the supporting

construction and the fire door frame was found to be less than 100 mm.

Fire resistance tests — Door and shutter assemblies —
Part 4:
Linear joint fire seal materials used to seal the gap
between a fire door frame and the supporting construction

CAUTION — The attention of all persons concerned with managing and carrying out this

fire-resistance test is drawn to the fact that fire testing can be hazardous and that there is a

possibility of toxic and/or harmful smoke and gases evolving during the test. Mechanical and

operational hazards can also arise during the construction of the test elements or structures,

their testing and the disposal of test residues.

An assessment of all potential hazards and risks to health shall be made and safety precautions

shall be identified and provided. Written safety instructions shall be issued. Appropriate

training shall be given to relevant personnel. Laboratory personnel shall ensure that they follow

written safety instructions at all times.
1 Scope

This document specifies a standard test methodology and resulting field of direct application which are

applicable to linear joint fire seal materials used to seal around fire door sets which have been tested in

accordance with ISO 3008-1.

The test methodology described in this document uses a smaller-scale fire resistance furnace than that

prescribed in ISO 3008-1.
