Fire resistance tests for service installations - Part 5: Service ducts and shafts

This document specifies a method for determining the fire resistance of horizontal service ducts and vertical service shafts, which pass through walls or floors and enclose pipes and cables, to classify them according to EN 13501-2. The test scenario examines the behaviour of ducts and shafts exposed to fire either from outside or from inside the system. This document is intended to be read in conjunction with EN 1363-1.
This document does not examine the risk of fire spread as a result of thermal conduction along the piping or cabling installed in service ducts or shafts or thermal conduction through the media these pipes carry. It does not cover the risk of damage produced by thermal elongation or shortening of tubes and cables as a result of fire or damaged pipe suspensions. This document does not give guidance on how to test one, two or three sided service ducts or shafts.
NOTE Guidance on testing service ducts and shafts of less than four sides will be covered in the extended field of application rules being developed by CEN/TC 127.
This test can be used for systems with boards and also for such systems with continuous covering with intumescent materials on the boards. It cannot be used for systems where intumescent material is only applied in the range of the penetration.
This test is unsuitable for evaluating service ducts or shafts with internal barriers at walls and floors.
This test is unsuitable for evaluating fire protective systems for cable systems and associated components with maintenance of integrity in case of fire. This is covered by EN 1366-11: Fire protective systems for cable systems and associated components - Part 11: Fire protective systems for cable systems and associated components.
Whilst the walls of service ducts or shafts tested to this method may provide specified levels of integrity or insulation, testing according this document does not replace the testing of the functional endurance of small electrical cables which is covered in EN 50200.
Fire resistance testing of ducts for air distribution systems is covered in EN 1366-1.

Feuerwiderstandsprüfungen für Installationen - Teil 5: Installationskanäle und -schächte

Dieses Dokument legt ein Prüfverfahren für die Ermittlung der Feuerwiderstandsfähigkeit von horizontalen Installationskanälen und vertikalen Installationsschächten, die Wände oder Decken durchqueren und Rohre und Kabel beinhalten, fest mit dem Ziel, eine Klassifizierung nach EN 13501-2 vorzunehmen. Die Prüfung ermittelt das Verhalten von Installationskanälen und -schächten bei Brandbeanspruchung sowohl von außerhalb als auch von innerhalb des Systems. Dieses Dokument gilt in Verbindung mit EN 1363 1.
Dieses Dokument befasst sich nicht mit der Gefahr der Brandübertragung infolge von Wärmeleitung durch die Rohrleitungen oder Kabel, die in Installationskanälen oder –schächten installiert sind, oder infolge von Wärmeleitung über die Medien, welche diese Rohrleitungen führen. Diese Prüfung deckt auch nicht die Gefahr der Beschädigung durch die thermische Verlängerung oder Verkürzung von Rohren oder Kabeln infolge eines Brandes oder durch beschädigte Rohraufhängungen ab. Dieses Dokument enthält keine Anleitung zum Prüfen von ein-, zwei- oder dreiseitigen Installationskanälen oder Installationsschächten.
ANMERKUNG   Eine Anleitung zum Prüfen von Installationskanälen und –schächten mit weniger als vier Seiten wird von den Regeln zum erweiterten Anwendungsbereich abgedeckt werden, die im CEN/TC 127 in Erarbeitung sind.
Die Prüfung kann sowohl für Systeme mit Platten als auch für Systeme mit einer durchgehenden Abdeckung aus intumeszierenden Materialien auf den Platten angewendet werden. Sie kann nicht für Systeme angewendet werden, in denen intumeszierendes Material nur im Bereich der Durchführung aufgebracht wird.
Diese Prüfung eignet sich nicht für die Bewertung von Installationskanälen oder –schächten mit inneren Abschottungen im Bereich von Wänden und Decken.
Die Prüfung ist ungeeignet für die Bewertung von Brandschutzsystemen für Kabelsysteme und zugehörige Komponenten zur Aufrechterhaltung des Raumabschlusses im Brandfall. Dies wird in EN 1366 11, Feuerwiderstandsprüfungen für Installationen — Teil 11: Brandschutzsysteme für Kabelanlagen und zugehörige Komponenten, behandelt.
Obwohl die Wände der nach diesem Verfahren geprüften Installationskanäle oder -schächte eine bestimmte Klasse des Raumabschlusses oder der Wärmedämmung liefern können, ersetzt eine Prüfung nach diesem Dokument nicht die Prüfung des Funktionserhalts von elektrischen Kabeln nach EN 50200.
Die Feuerwiderstandsprüfung von Lüftungsleitungen wird in EN 1366 1 behandelt.

Overview

EN 1366-5:2021 - Fire resistance tests for service installations (Part 5: Service ducts and shafts) is a CEN test method defining how to determine the fire resistance of horizontal service ducts and vertical service shafts that pass through walls or floors and enclose pipes and cables. The standard focuses on classifying ducts and shafts for fire resistance performance (for use in EN 13501-2 classification) and defines test scenarios where the assembly is exposed to fire from either inside or outside the system. EN 1366-5:2021 is intended to be read alongside EN 1363-1 (general test requirements).

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope and purpose
  • Defines a laboratory test method to assess the ability of service ducts/shafts to resist fire spread between compartments.
  • Covers specimens that include joints, service outlets and access openings, suspended as they would be in practice.
• Test scenarios
  • Fire exposure may be applied from inside the duct/shaft or from outside.
• Specimen preparation
  • Standard representative loads are included (not full operational loading) to simulate typical services.
  • Suitable for systems with board constructions and those with continuous intumescent coatings on boards; not suitable where intumescent material is only applied locally around the penetration.
• Exclusions and limitations
  • Does not address fire spread caused by thermal conduction along pipes/cables or through transported media, nor thermal elongation effects.
  • Not applicable to ducts/shafts with internal barriers at walls or floors.
  • Not intended for assessing fire-protective systems for cable systems and components (see EN 1366-11).
  • Does not replace functional endurance testing of small electrical cables (EN 50200).
• Instrumentation and performance criteria
  • Requires thermocouples and measurements for integrity and insulation criteria; references EN 1363-1 for general test conditions.

Applications

• Use EN 1366-5:2021 when you need validated fire resistance data for:
  • Vertical service shafts (risers) and horizontal service ducts that penetrate compartmentation elements.

European foreword
This document (EN 1366-5:2021) 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 August 2021, and conflicting national standards shall be
withdrawn at the latest by August 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 1366-5:2010.
Against EN 1366-5:2010 the following changes were introduced:
1) necessary dated references were updated;
2) clearer rules were given for the scope of the standard;
3) terms and definitions clarified and completed;
4) the location of thermocouples was clarified especially when testing the specimen including service
outlets and access panels;
5) drawings were improved and aligned to changes;
6) the thermocouple T3 from Version 2010 was deleted. It is not needed for measuring the property
„Integrity” and it leads to confusion concerning that property.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association.
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia,
Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland,
Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Republic of North
Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United
Kingdom.
Introduction
The purpose of this test is to measure the ability of a service duct or shaft to resist the spread of fire from
one fire compartment to another with fire attack from inside or outside the duct or shaft. The test
specimens incorporate joints, service outlets and access openings as intended in practice and are
suspended as they would be in practice. Test specimens of service ducts are not loaded as in practice but
a standard load is included to represent a typical service load. Test specimens of service shafts are not
loaded as in practice, but a standard load is included to represent a typical service load.
CAUTION — The attention of all persons concerned with managing and carrying out this fire
resistance test is drawn to the fact that fire testing may be hazardous, and there is a possibility
that toxic and/or harmful smoke and gases may be involved during the test. Mechanical and
operational hazards may also arise during the construction of the test elements or structures,
their testing and 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.
1 Scope
This document specifies a method for determining the fire resistance of horizontal service ducts and
vertical service shafts, which pass through walls or floors and enclose pipes and cables, to classify them
according to EN 13501-2. The test scenario examines the behaviour of ducts and shafts exposed to fire
either from outside or from inside the system. This document is intended to be read in conjunction with
EN 1363-1.
This document does not examine the risk of fire spread as a result of thermal conduction along the piping
or cabling installed in service ducts or shafts or thermal conduction through the media these pipes carry.
It does not cover the risk of damage produced by thermal elongation or shortening of tubes and cables as
a result of fire or damaged pipe suspensions. This document does not give guidance on how to test one,
two or three sided service ducts or shafts.
NOTE Guidance on testing service ducts and shafts of less than four sides will be covered in the extended field
of application rules being developed by CEN/TC 127.
This test can be used for systems with boards and also for such systems with continuous covering with
intumescent materials on the boards. It cannot be used for systems where intumescent material is only
applied in the range of the penetration.
This test is unsuitable for evaluating service ducts or shafts with internal barriers at walls and floors.
This test is unsuitable for evaluating fire protective systems for cable systems and associated components
with maintenance of integrity in case of fire. This is covered by EN 1366-11: Fire protective systems for
cable systems and associated components - Part 11: Fire protective systems for cable systems and
associated components.
Whilst the walls of service ducts or shafts tested to this method may provide specified levels of integrity
or insulation, testing according this document does not replace the testing of the functional endurance of
small electrical cables which is covered in EN 50200.
Fire resistance testing of ducts for air distribution systems is covered in EN 1366-1.
