Dieses Dokument beschreibt die Verfahren zur Konditionierung von Probekörpern, die nach Europäischen Normen für das Brandverhalten geprüft werden.
Die Regeln für die Auswahl von Trägerplatten für Bauprodukte zur Durchführung von Prüfungen zum Brandverhalten werden ebenfalls in diesem Dokument behandelt.
Dieses Dokument enthält keine Anforderungen an
 die Vortrocknung von Probekörpern für die Nichtbrennbarkeitsprüfung nach EN ISO 1182;
 die Reinigungsverfahren (z. B. Waschen) und weitere Verfahren zur Beurteilung der Dauerhaftigkeit, da diese in den jeweiligen Produktnormen behandelt werden.

Essais de réaction au feu des produits de construction - Modes opératoires de conditionnement et règles générales de sélection des substrats

Le présent document décrit les modes opératoires de conditionnement des éprouvettes qui seront soumises aux essais de réaction au feu conformément aux Normes européennes.
Les règles de sélection des substrats pour les produits de construction pour les essais de réaction au feu sont également détaillées dans le présent document.
Le présent document ne spécifie pas d’exigences concernant :
- le pré-séchage des éprouvettes pour l’essai d’incombustibilité conformément à l’EN ISO 1182 ;
- les méthodes de nettoyage (par exemple, lavage) et autres méthodes d’évaluation des aspects de la durabilité qui sont traités dans les normes produits correspondantes.

European foreword
This document (prEN 13238:2018) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 127 “Fire
safety in buildings”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This document will supersedes EN 13238:2010.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and
the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).

Introduction
The Construction Products Directive requires products to be tested in their end use condition which,
for the purpose of substrates, could lead to an economically unrealistic large variety of tests to be
carried out. This large spectrum has been reduced to a practical number of standard substrates that
enables the majority of end use conditions to be represented. Rules for the selection of such substrates
are given in this document.
This document is intended for use in conjunction with European Standards covering the reaction to
fire test methods for the relevant construction products.
