Fire classification of construction products and building elements - Part 2: Classification using data from fire resistance tests, excluding ventilation services

This standard specifies the procedure for classification of construction products and element families using data from fire resistance tests which are within the field of application of the relevant test method. Classification on the basis of extended application is not within the scope of this Standard.

Klassifizierung von Bauprodukten und Bauarten zu ihrem Brandverhalten - Teil 2: Klassifizierung mit den Ergebnissen aus den Feuerwiderstandsprüfungen, mit Ausnahme von Lüftungsanlagen

Dieser Teil dieser Europäischen Norm spezifiziert das Verfahren zur Klassifizierung von Bauprodukten und Bauteilen anhand der Ergebnisse von Feuerwiderstandsprüfungen und Prüfungen zur Rauchdichtheit entsprechend dem direkten Anwendungsbereich der zugehörigen Prüfverfahren. Zurzeit kann EN 13501-2 nicht zur Klassifizierung des Feuerwiderstandes von Vorhangfassaden benutzt werden. Die Klassifizierung auf der Basis des erweiterten Anwendungsbereichs von Versuchsergebnissen ist nicht Gegenstand dieser Norm. Für die Klassifizierung auf der Basis des erweiterten Anwendungsbereichs werden jedoch die gleichen Klassen benutzt wie in dieser Norm festgelegt.
a) Tragende Bauteile ohne raumabschließende Funktion:
Wände;
Decken;
Dächer;
Balken;
Stützen;
Balkone;
Laubengänge;
Treppen.
b) Tragende Bauteile mit raumabschließender Funktion, mit oder ohne Verglasung, haustechnischer Anlagen und Befestigungen:
Wände;
Decken;
Dächer;
Doppelböden.
c) Produkte und Systeme zum Schutz von Bauteilen oder Teilen von Bauwerken:
Unterdecken ohne eigener Feuerwiderstandsfähigkeit;
Brandschutzbeschichtungen, Bekleidungen und Abschirmungen.
d) Nichttragende Bauteile oder Teile von Bauwerken, mit oder ohne Verglasung, haustechnischer Anlagen und Befestigungen:
Trennwände;
Fassaden (vorgehängt) und Außenwände;
Unterdecken mit eigener Feuerwiderstandsfähigkeit (als selbständiges Bauteil);
Feuerschutztüren und Abschlüsse und ihre Schließvorrichtungen;

Installationskanäle und -schächte;
Abgasanlagen.
e) Brandschutztechnisch wirksame Bekleidungen von Wänden und Decken.
f) Fahrschachttüren, die nach prEN 81-58 geprüft wurden, sind nicht Bestandteil dieser Norm. Fahrschachttüren, die nach EN 1634-1 geprüft wurden, werden nach 7.5.5 klassifiziert.
Die jeweils geltenden Prüfverfahren, die für diese Produkte aufgestellt worden sind, sind im Abschnitt 2 aufgelistet.

Classement au feu des produits et éléments de construction - Partie 2: Classement a partir des données d'essais de résistance au feu a l'exclusion des produits utilisés dans les systemes de ventilation

La présente norme spécifie la méthode de classification des produits de construction et des familles d'éléments a partir des résultats obtenus au cours des essais de résistance au feu qui tombe dans le domaine d'application de la méthode d'essai correspondante. Un classement obtenu a partir d'application étendue ne fait pas parti du domaine d'application de la présente norme.

EN 13501-2:2003 (E)4ForewordThis document (EN 13501-2:2003) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 127 "Fire safety inbuildings", 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 orby endorsement, at the latest by February 2004, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latestby February 2004.This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the EuropeanFree Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of the Construction Products Directive.CEN, CENELEC and EOTA committees preparing technical specifications which contain performance requirementsagainst resistance to fire tests should make reference to the resistance to fire classification given in this standard andnot refer directly to any specific fire test method.Some of the methods referred to by this standards are prENs which are still undergoing technical development. Usersof this standard should, therefore, check the availability and acceptability of these prENs before seeking to apply them.Currently EN 13501-2 cannot be applied to classify curtain walling for resistance to fire. This will be possible once eitherEN 1364-3 "Fire resistance tests for non-loadbearing elements – Part 3: Curtain walling – Full configuration (completeassembly)" is made available or alternative provisions for classifying curtain walling for resistance to fire are madeavailable.EN 13501 consists of the following parts:Part 1:Classification using test data from reaction to fire testsPart 2:Classification using data from fire resistance tests, excluding ventilation servicesPart 3:Classification using data from fire resistance tests on components of normal building service installationsPart 4:Classification using test data from fire resistance tests on smoke control systemsPart 5:Classification using test data from external fire exposure to roof testsAnnexes A and B are normative.This document includes a Bibliography.According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the followingcountries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland,France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal,Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.



EN 13501-2:2003 (E)5IntroductionThe aim of this Part of this European Standard is to define a harmonised procedure for the classification forresistance to fire of construction products and elements. This classification is based on the test procedures listed inclause 2.This Part of this European Standard is prepared in support of the second essential requirement in the ECConstruction Products Directive (89/106/EEC) which is detailed in the Interpretative Document number 2 (ID2):Safety in case of fire (OJ C62 Vol 37). It reflects the Commission Decision of 3 May 2000 on the implementation ofthe Council Directive 89/106/EEC as regards the classification of the resistance to fire performance of constructionproducts, construction works and parts thereof.The Interpretative Document and the Commission Decision of 2 May 2000 specify performance and classesregarding fire resistance. These classes are identified by designation letters, each of which refers to an importantcharacteristic of fire resistance behaviour.This Part of this European Standard provides for a common understanding for these requirements. It interprets thefunctional requirements for the different groups of building elements and explains the method for deriving theirclassification on the basis of test results for individual elements.



EN 13501-2:2003 (E)61 ScopeThis Part of this European Standard specifies the procedure for classification of construction products and buildingelements using data from fire resistance and smoke leakage tests which are within the direct field of application ofthe relevant test method. This part of this European Standard currently cannot be applied to classify curtain wallingfor resistance to fire. Classification on the basis of extended application is outside the scope of this standard. Forextended application, however, the same classes are used as specified in this standard.This standard deals with:a) Loadbearing elements without a fire separating functionwallsfloorsroofsbeamscolumnsbalconieswalkwaysstairsb) Loadbearing elements with a fire separating function, with or without glazing, services and fixtureswallsfloorsroofsraised floorsc) Products and systems for protecting elements or parts of the worksceilings with no independent fire resistancefire protective coatings, claddings and screensd) Non-loadbearing elements or parts of works, with or without glazing, services and fixturespartitionsfacades (curtain walls) and external wallsceilings with independent fire resistancefire doors and shutters and their closing devicessmoke control doorsconveyor systems and their closurespenetration sealslinear joint sealsservice ducts and shaftschimneyse) Wall and ceiling coverings with fire protection abilityf) Lift landing doors which are tested to prEN 81-8 are excluded from this standard. Lift landing doors which aretested to EN 1634-1 are classified in accordance with 7.5.5.Relevant test methods which have been prepared for these elements are listed in clause 2.2 Normative referencesThis European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. Thesenormative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the publications are listed below. For datedreferences, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard
