Glass in building - Safety in case of fire, fire resistance - Glass testing methodology for the purpose of classification

This European Standard specifies the testing methodology to be used for glass products that are claiming fire resistance. The methodology covers Initial Type Testing as defined in the relevant glass product standard. The methodology covers all glass product types that may require testing and classification for fire resistance. Fire resistance testing covers end use applications for example: - doors; - partitions, walls (including curtain walling); - floors, roofs; - ceilings.

Glas im Bauwesen - Brandsicherheit, Feuerwiderstandsfähigkeit - Verfahrensweise von Glasprüfungen zur Klassifizierung

Dieses Dokument legt das anzuwendende Prüfverfahren für Glasprodukte fest, für welche eine Feuerwider-standsfähigkeit beansprucht wird. Dieses Verfahren umfasst die Erstprüfung (Initial Type Testing (ITT)) nach der relevanten Produktnorm für Glas.
ANMERKUNG   Dieses Dokument gibt Anleitungen für die Deklaration der Eigenschaft „Brandschutz — Feuer-widerstandsfähigkeit (für Brandschutzglas zum Einsatz in einer speziell für Brandschutz vorgesehenen Verglasung)“ im Rahmen der CE Kennzeichnung.
Dasselbe Verfahren kann auch zur Festlegung der Brandschutzklassifizierung für Marktanwendungen (siehe Anhang B) angewendet werden.
Die Verfahrensweise gilt für alle Glasarten, bei denen Prüfung und Klassifizierung des Feuerwiderstands erforderlich sein kann.
Feuerwiderstandsprüfungen decken Endanwendungen ab wie zum Beispiel:
-   Türen;
-   Trennwände, Wände (einschließlich Vorhangfassaden);
-   Decken, Dächer;
-   Unterdecken.

Verre dans la construction - Sécurité en cas d'incendie, résistance au feu - Méthodologie d'essai du verre à des fins de classification

Le présent document spécifie la méthodologie d’essai à appliquer pour les produits verriers déclarés résistants au feu. La méthodologie couvre les essais de type initiaux tels qu’ils sont définis dans la norme de produit verrier applicable.
NOTE   Le présent document fournit des lignes directrices sur la déclaration de la caractéristique « Sécurité en cas d’incendie – Résistance au feu (pour le verre utilisé dans un ensemble vitré spécialement prévu pour la résistance au feu) » pour le marquage CE.

-   les planchers, les toitures ;
   les plafonds.

Steklo v gradbeništvu - Varnost v primeru požara, požarna odpornost - Metodologija preskušanja stekla za namene klasificiranja

Ta evropski standard določa metodologijo preskušanja, ki se uporablja za steklene proizvode, za katere se trdi, da so odporni proti požaru. Metodologija zajema začetno tipsko preskušanje, kot je določeno v ustreznih standardih steklenih proizvodov. Metodologija zajema vse tipe steklenih proizvodov, ki lahko zahtevajo preskušanje in klasifikacijo požarne odpornosti. Preskušanje požarne odpornosti zajema končno uporabo, kot na primer: – vrata; – pregrade, zidovi (vključno s predelnimi stenami); – tla, strehe; – stropi.

EN 15998:2010 (E) 4 Introduction According to mandate M/135 "Glass in building", one of the essential characteristics that may be claimed is Safety in case of fire − Resistance to fire (for glass for use in a glazed assembly intended specifically for fire resistance). However, glass products cannot be tested and classified for fire resistance without being incorporated into a fire resistant glazed assembly. SIST EN 15998:2011



EN 15998:2010 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the testing methodology to be used for glass products that are claiming fire resistance. The methodology covers Initial Type Testing as defined in the relevant glass product standard. NOTE This document provides guidance with the declaration of the characteristic, Safety in case of fire − Resistance to fire (for glass for use in a glazed assembly intended specifically for fire resistance) for the CE marking. The same methodology can also be used to determine the performance classification for market applications (see Annex B). The methodology covers all glass product types that may require testing and classification for fire resistance. Fire resistance testing covers end use applications for example:  doors;  partitions, walls (including curtain walling);  floors, roofs;  ceilings. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

EN 15998:2010 (E) 6 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 extended field of application
EXAP outcome of a process (involving the application of defined rules that may incorporate calculation procedures) that predicts, for a variation of a product property and/or its intended end use application(s), a test result on the basis of one or more test result(s) to the same test standard [EN 13501-2:2007+A1:2009] 3.2 fire-resistant glass glass product group, i.e. monolithic, multiple layers or insulating glass unit, that when used in a fire resistant glazed assembly can have its performance determined and classified in accordance with EN 13501-2 3.3 fire performance classification result of a fire resistance test(s) expressed as required in EN 13501-2 NOTE 1 The classification is reported with respect to integrity (E), integrity and radiation (EW), integrity and insulation (EI), and loadbearing capacity and integrity (RE) and loadbearing capacity, integrity an insulation (REI). NOTE 2 The classification of a specific glass product will be one or more of E, EW, EI, RE, REI NOTE 3 The time obtained for different classifications may be different, e.g. EW 30, EI 20. 3.4 framing system frame profile and fixings to the supporting structure (e.g. wall) NOTE See Figure 1, B.

In each case, Annex ZA of the product standard should be considered: e.g. involvement of a Notified Certification Body, sample traceability, product sampling (when necessary) and checks of the factory production control. NOTE 2 The reference test provides the main source of data to determine the following:  performance rating (integrity, integrity with radiation or integrity with insulation);  maximum pane area and dimensions for the fire-resistant glass;  maximum dimensions of the fire-resistant glazed element for each type of frame material. NOTE 3 The reference test may also provide other data to assist in determining, through EXAP rules, the following:  permitted dimensional changes to the framing system;  any changes to the glazing system.
