(Main)Test methods for determining the contribution to the fire resistance of structural members - Part 1: Horizontal protective membranes
Test methods for determining the contribution to the fire resistance of structural members - Part 1: Horizontal protective membranes
This document specifies a test method for determining the ability of a horizontal protective membrane, when used as a fire resistant barrier, to contribute to the fire resistance of standard horizontal structural building members as defined in 6.4.2.
Test of horizontal protective membrane installed under a specific non-standard floor should be tested according to EN 1365-2.
This document contains the fire test which specifies the tests which are carried out whereby the horizontal protective membrane, together with the structural member to be protected, is exposed to a fire test according to the procedures defined herein. The fire exposure, to the temperature/time curve given in EN 1363-1, is applied from below the membrane itself.
The test method makes provision, through specified optional additional procedures, for the collection of data which can be used as direct input to the calculation of fire resistance according to the processes given within EN 1992-1-2, EN 1993-1-2, EN 1994-1-2 and EN 1995-1-2.
This document also contains the assessment which provides information relative to the analysis of the test data and gives guidance for the interpretation of the results of the fire test, in terms of loadbearing capacity criteria of the protected horizontal structural member.
In special circumstances, where specified in national building regulations, there can be a need to subject the protection material to a smouldering curve. The test for this and the special circumstances for its use are detailed in Annex C.
The limits of applicability of the results of the assessment arising from the fire test are defined, together with permitted direct application of the results to different structures, membranes and fittings.
This documentapplies only where there is a gap and a cavity between the horizontal protective membrane and the structural building member. Otherwise, the test methods in EN 13381-3, EN 13381 4 or EN 13381-5, as appropriate, apply.
Tests are intended to be carried out without additional combustible materials in the cavity.
Annex A gives details of assessing the performance of the ceiling when exposed to a semi-natural fire.
Prüfverfahren zur Bestimmung des Beitrages zum Feuerwiderstand von tragenden Bauteilen - Teil 1: Horizontal angeordnete Brandschutzbekleidungen
Dieses Dokument legt ein Prüfverfahren zur Bestimmung der Fähigkeit von als feuerwiderstandsfähigen Sperrschichten eingesetzten horizontalen Brandschutzbekleidungen fest, einen Beitrag zum Feuerwiderstand von horizontalen tragenden Normbauteilen nach 6.4.2 dieser Norm zu leisten.
Horizontale Brandschutzbekleidungen, die unter einer bestimmten nicht genormten Decke eingebaut sind, sollten nach EN 1365 2 geprüft werden.
Dieses Dokument umfasst das Brandprüfverfahren, das die auszuführenden Prüfungen festlegt, bei denen die horizontale Brandschutzbekleidung zusammen mit dem zu schützenden tragenden Bauteil einer in dieser Norm definierten Brandbelastung ausgesetzt wird. Die Brandbeanspruchung entsprechend der Temperaturzeitkurve nach EN 1363-1 erfolgt von unterhalb der Bekleidung.

Weiterhin liefert die in diesem Dokument enthaltene Beurteilung Angaben zur Analyse der Prüfdaten und eine Anleitung zur Auslegung der Ergebnisse der Brandprüfung in Bezug auf die Tragfähigkeitskriterien des geschützten horizontalen tragenden Bauteils.
Unter bestimmten Umständen, wenn dies in nationalen Bauvorschriften festgelegt ist, kann die Notwendigkeit bestehen, das Schutzmaterial einer Schwelbrandkurve zu unterziehen. Die entsprechende Prüfung und die besonderen Bedingungen für deren Anwendung sind in Anhang C ausführlich beschrieben.
Die Grenzen der Anwendbarkeit der Ergebnisse der Beurteilung, die sich aus der Brandprüfung ergeben, werden zusammen mit der zulässigen direkten Anwendung der Ergebnisse auf unterschiedliche Bauwerke, Brandschutzbekleidungen und Beschläge festgelegt.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt nur, wenn sowohl ein Spalt als auch ein Hohlraum zwischen der horizontal angeordneten Brandschutzbekleidung und dem tragenden Bauteil vorhanden ist. Anderenfalls gelten je nach Zutreffen die Prüfverfahren nach EN 13381-3, EN 13381-4 oder EN 13381-5.
Die Prüfungen werden ohne zusätzliche brennbare Materialien im Hohlraum durchgeführt.
Anhang A enthält Einzelheiten zur Beurteilung des Leistungsverhaltens von Unterdecken bei Beanspruchung durch einen Naturbrand.
Méthodes d’essai pour déterminer la contribution à la résistance au feu des éléments de construction - Partie 1 : Membranes de protection horizontales
Le présent document spécifie une méthode d’essai permettant de déterminer l’aptitude d’une membrane de protection horizontale, utilisée comme dispositif de protection contre le feu, à contribuer à la résistance au feu d’éléments de construction horizontaux normalisés tels que définis en 6.4.2.
Il convient qu’une membrane de protection horizontale installée sous un plancher spécifique non normalisé soit soumise à essai conformément à l’EN 1365-2.
Le présent document définit le mode opératoire des essais à réaliser au cours desquels la membrane de protection horizontale, ainsi que l’élément de construction à protéger, sont exposés au feu. L’exposition au feu, conformément à la courbe température/temps donnée dans l’EN 1363-1, est réalisée par le dessous de la membrane elle-même.
La méthode d’essai prévoit, grâce à des modes opératoires facultatifs complémentaires spécifiés, la collecte des données qui peuvent être utilisées directement comme données d’entrée pour le calcul de la résistance au feu conformément aux processus définis dans les EN 1992-1-2, EN 1993-1-2, EN 1994-1-2 et EN 1995-1-2.
Le présent document décrit également l’évaluation qui fournit des informations concernant l’analyse des données d’essai, ainsi que des recommandations pour l’interprétation des résultats de l’essai au feu, en termes de critères de capacité portante de l’élément de construction horizontal protégé.
Dans des circonstances particulières, lorsque les réglementations nationales en matière de construction le prescrivent, il peut être nécessaire de soumettre le matériau de protection à la courbe d’un feu couvant. Ce type d’essai et les circonstances particulières pour son utilisation sont détaillés à l’Annexe C.
Les limites d’applicabilité des résultats de l’évaluation découlant de l’essai au feu sont définies, ainsi que l’application directe admise des résultats à d’autres structures, membranes et accessoires.
Le présent document s’applique uniquement lorsqu’il existe un espace et un plénum entre la membrane de protection horizontale et l’élément de construction. Sinon, les méthodes d’essai décrites dans l’EN 13381-3, l’EN 13381-4 ou l’EN 13381-5, s’appliquent, selon le cas.
Les essais sont destinés à être réalisés sans matériaux combustibles supplémentaires dans le plénum.
L’Annexe A décrit en détail l’évaluation des performances d’un plafond exposé à un feu semi-naturel.

European foreword
This document (EN 13381-1:2020) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 127 “Fire safety
in buildings”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by January 2021, and conflicting national standards shall
be withdrawn at the latest by January 2021.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes EN 13381-1:2014.
The main changes with respect to the previous edition are listed below:
Clarifications regarding the following items:
a) determination of the characteristic surface temperature curve;
b) limits of applicability (addition of integrity and insulation performances in the tables);
c) assessment when the semi-natural fire test is performed (Annex A).
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association.
This document is one of a series of standards for evaluating the contribution to the fire resistance of
structural members by applied fire protection materials. The other parts of this series are:
— Part 2: Vertical protective membranes,
— Part 3: Applied protection to concrete members,
— Part 4: Applied passive protection to steel members,
— Part 5: Applied protection to concrete/profiled sheet steel composite members,
— Part 6: Applied protection to concrete filled hollow steel columns,
— Part 7: Applied protection to timber members,
— Part 8: Applied reactive protection to steel members,
— Part 9: Applied fire protection systems to steel beams with web openings.
The fire protection capacity of the horizontal protective membrane can be nullified by the presence of
combustible materials in the cavity above the membrane. The applicability of the results of the
assessment is limited according to the quantity and position of such combustible materials within that
cavity. The amount of combustible material permissible in the cavity is typically given in national
regulations.

Introduction
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 that toxic and/or
harmful smoke and gases can be evolved during the test. Mechanical and operational hazards can also
arise during the construction of test elements or structures, their testing and the disposal of test
residues.
An assessment of all potential hazards and risks to health should be made and safety precautions should
be identified and provided. Written safety instructions should be issued. Appropriate training should be
given to relevant personnel. Laboratory personnel should ensure that they follow written safety
instructions at all times.
The specific health and safety instructions contained within this document should be followed.
WARNING: When performing this test method, laboratories should expect that there can be significant
quantities of smoke released. This smoke release is expected to be very significant where the fire test
involves timber and timber based components. Laboratories should ensure that appropriate smoke
extraction facilities are provided.

1 Scope
This document specifies a test method for determining the ability of a horizontal protective membrane,
when used as a fire resistant barrier, to contribute to the fire resistance of standard horizontal structural
building members as defined in 6.4.2.
Test of horizontal protective membrane installed under a specific non-standard floor should be tested
according to EN 1365-2.
This document contains the fire test which specifies the tests which are carried out whereby the
horizontal protective membrane, together with the structural member to be protected, is exposed to a
fire test according to the procedures defined herein. The fire exposure, to the temperature/time curve
given in EN 1363-1, is applied from below the membrane itself.
The test method makes provision, through specified optional additional procedures, for the collection of
data which can be used as direct input to the calculation of fire resistance according to the processes
given within EN 1992-1-2, EN 1993-1-2, EN 1994-1-2 and EN 1995-1-2.
This document also contains the assessment which provides information relative to the analysis of the
test data and gives guidance for the interpretation of the results of the fire test, in terms of loadbearing
capacity criteria of the protected horizontal structural member.
In special circumstances, where specified in national building regulations, there can be a need to subject
the protection material to a smouldering curve. The test for this and the special circumstances for its use
are detailed in Annex C.
The limits of applicability of the results of the assessment arising from the fire test are defined, together
with permitted direct application of the results to different structures, membranes and fittings.
This document applies only where there is a gap and a cavity between the horizontal protective
membrane and the structural building member. Otherwise, the test methods in EN 13381-3, EN 13381-4
or EN 13381-5, as appropriate, apply.
Tests are intended to be carried out without additional combustible materials in the cavity.
Annex A gives details of assessing the performance of the ceiling when exposed to a semi-natural fire.

European foreword
This document (prEN 13381-1:2019) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 127 “Fire
safety in buildings”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This document will supersede EN 13381-1:2014.
The main changes with respect to the previous edition are listed below:
Clarifications regarding the following items:
a) determination of the characteristic surface temperature curve;
b) limits of applicability (addition of intergrity and insulation performances in the tables).
c) assessment when the semi-natural fire test is performed (Annex A)
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association.
This standard is one of a series of standards for evaluating the contribution to the fire resistance of
structural members by applied fire protection materials. The other parts of this series are:
— Part 2: Vertical protective membranes,
— Part 3: Applied protection to concrete members,
— Part 4: Applied passive protection to steel members,
— Part 5: Applied protection to concrete/profiled sheet steel composite members,
— Part 6: Applied protection to concrete filled hollow steel columns,
— Part 7: Applied protection to timber members,
— Part 8: Applied reactive protection to steel members.
— Part 9: Applied fire protection systems to steel beams with web openings.
The fire protection capacity of the horizontal protective membrane can be nullified by the presence of
combustible materials in the cavity above the membrane. The applicability of the results of the
assessment is limited according to the quantity and position of such combustible materials within that
cavity. The amount of combustible material permissible in the cavity is typically given in national
regulations.
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 that toxic and/or harmful
smoke and gases can be evolved during the test. Mechanical and operational hazards can also arise
during the construction of 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.
The specific health and safety instructions contained within this European Standard shall be followed.
WARNING: When performing this test method, laboratories shall expect that there may be significant
quantities of smoke released. This smoke release is expected to be very significant where the fire test
involves timber and timber based components. Laboratories shall ensure that appropriate smoke
extraction facilities are provided.

1 Scope
This document specifies a test method for determining the ability of a horizontal protective membrane,
when used as a fire resistant barrier, to contribute to the fire resistance of standard horizontal
structural building members as defined in 6.4.2.
Test of horizontal protective membrane installed under a specific non-standard floor should be tested
according to EN 1365-2.
This document contains the fire test which specifies the tests which are carried out whereby the
horizontal protective membrane, together with the structural member to be protected, is exposed to a
fire test according to the procedures defined herein. The fire exposure, to the temperature/time curve
given in EN 1363-1, is applied from below the membrane itself.
The test method makes provision, through specified optional additional procedures, for the collection of
data which can be used as direct input to the calculation of fire resistance according to the processes
given within EN 1992-1-2, EN 1993-1-2, EN 1994-1-2 and EN 1995-1-2.
This document also contains the assessment which provides information relative to the analysis of the
test data and gives guidance for the interpretation of the results of the fire test, in terms of loadbearing
capacity criteria of the protected horizontal structural member.
In special circumstances, where specified in national building regulations, there can be a need to subject
the protection material to a smouldering curve. The test for this and the special circumstances for its
use are detailed in Annex C.
The limits of applicability of the results of the assessment arising from the fire test are defined, together
with permitted direct application of the results to different structures, membranes and fittings.
This documentapplies only where there is a gap and a cavity between the horizontal protective
membrane and the structural building member. Otherwise, the test methods in EN 13381-3,
EN 13381-4 or EN 13381-5, as appropriate, apply.
Tests are intended to be carried out without additional combustible materials in the cavity.
Annex A gives details of assessing the performance of the ceiling when exposed to a semi-natural fire.
