(Amendment)

Secure storage units - Classification and methods of test for resistance to fire - Part 2: Data rooms and data container

Secure storage units - Classification and methods of test for resistance to fire - Part 2: Data rooms and data container

Data rooms and data containers are fire protection security products whose purpose is to protect temperature and humidity sensitive data media and hardware systems from the effects of fire. These fire resistance products do not provide any defined protection against burglary.
Based on these objectives, the CEN/TC 263 Working Group WG2 Fire Resistance unanimously noted at its meeting on 8 March 2012 that the requirement for a certified high security lock according to EN 1300 for data rooms and data containers suggests protection that is not provided and does not reflect the requirements of the market.
For the reasons explained above, WG2 unanimously recommended deletion of the requirements for a certified high security lock according to EN 1300 without replacement from EN 1047-2:2009. In the interest of the market, this change in this European Standard shall be implemented very soon via an Amendment to EN 1047-2:2009. The necessary decision shall be taken in a 3 months shortened UAP. The necessary application shall be filed with the CEN/TC 263 via DIN.
The draft for Amendment A1 to EN 1047-2:2009 shall be presented to the CEN/TC 263 together with the application for changes in this European Standard.

Overview

EN 1047-2:2009/FprA1 (CEN amendment A1, 2012) is the European standard for fire-resistant data rooms and data containers - secure storage units designed to protect temperature- and humidity‑sensitive data media and hardware from the effects of fire. The amendment clarifies classification, test methods and requirements for fire endurance, thermal and humidity performance, and removes a previous requirement for certified high‑security locks (EN 1300), because these products are intended for fire protection only and do not claim burglary resistance.

Key topics and requirements

  • Scope: Protection of data media and hardware from fire; not intended to provide burglary resistance.
  • Classification: Designations such as R60D (data rooms) and C60D (data containers) indicate 60 minutes fire exposure capability and the “D” category of protected media.
  • Performance limits:
    • Maximum permitted temperature increase during fire tests: 50 K (above ambient) for the measured location.
    • Maximum relative humidity allowed during/after testing: 85% for the protected environment.
    • The “D” class excludes media that lose data below 75 °C or at relative humidity above 85%.
  • Test methods:
    • Fire endurance test (referenced clause 6.6.1) to confirm temperature and humidity performance over the rated period.
    • Impact tests and comparison tests (clause 6.6.2) for construction variants (floors, walls, ceilings). A formula for assessing temperature-rise differences between type-tested and variant constructions is included.
    • References to EN 1363‑1 methods for integrity assessments where applicable.
  • Amendment change: Removal of the normative reference to EN 1300 (high‑security lock classification) and replacement of the definition of “door” to mean any access equipped with at least one lock.

Applications and users

  • Manufacturers of fire‑resistant data rooms and data containers who need to design, test and certify products to European fire‑protection criteria.
  • Independent testing laboratories and certification bodies performing fire endurance, impact and comparison tests.
  • IT facilities managers, data center planners, archival and records managers specifying secure fire‑protected storage for magnetic, optical, tape and other data media.
  • Insurance underwriters, specifiers and procurement teams requiring objective proof of fire‑resistance for data storage solutions.

Related standards

  • EN 1363‑1 - fire resistance tests (referenced for integrity assessments).
  • EN 1300 - previously referenced for high‑security locks (deleted by FprA1 because lock level implies burglary protection that these products do not provide).
  • CEN/TC 263 (WG2) - technical committee responsible for this amendment.

Keywords: EN 1047-2, fire resistance, data rooms, data containers, secure storage units, fire protection for data media, EN 1300, EN 1363-1.

Secure storage units - Classification and methods of test for resistance to fire - Part 1: Data cabinets and data inserts
EN 1047-1:2019

This document specifies requirements for fire resisting data cabinets and diskette inserts.
Two methods of test are specified to determine the ability of fire resisting data cabinets to protect temperature and humidity sensitive contents from the effects of fire: a fire endurance test and a fire shock and impact test. Two levels of fire severity (S 60 and S 120) based upon time of fire exposure; and three protection classes (P, D and DIS) are specified using the maximum temperature increases and humidity values permitted within the storage space of the data cabinet.
Diskette inserts (DI 60 P/DIS and DI 120 P/DIS) are installed in data cabinets of protection class S 60 P or S 120 P, respectively, and subjected to a fire endurance test (see 5.1.2).
Requirements are also specified for test specimens, the technical documentation for the test specimen, correlation of the test specimen with the technical documentation, preparation for type testing and test procedures.
A scheme to classify the fire resisting data cabinets and diskette inserts from the test results is also given (see Table 1).
Diskette inserts are only installed in data cabinets having the same design as the series of protection class S 60 P and S 120 P, respectively, in which the insert has been tested in using methods defined in 5.1.2. Where several inserts are installed, they are built in one beside the other or one above the other from bottom to top, respectively. The volume and total height of the installed inserts do not exceed 50 % of the total internal volume or 50 % of the internal height, respectively, of the data cabinets into which they are installed. The dimensions of the insert can be adapted by increasing the width and depth to the corresponding dimensions of the data cabinets. A reduction of these dimensions as well as a change of the height is only admitted within the specified tolerance.
The temperature increases during type-tests on data cabinets and diskette inserts will be considered in deciding the permitted diskette insert installations. For a permitted installation, the temperature increase of the intended data cabinet ( ) does not exceed the temperature increase of the tested data cabinet ( ) in which the diskette insert has been type-tested by more than the difference between the maximum value for the diskette insert ( ) and the maximum admissible temperature increase (30 K), i.e   (See example in Annex B).
A description of the installation of the diskette inserts can be given in the technical documentation of the manufacturer.

Secure storage units - Classification and methods of test for resistance to fire - Part 2: Data rooms and data container
EN 1047-2:2019

This part of the European Standard EN 1047 specifies requirements for data rooms and data containers. It includes a method of test for the determination of the ability of data rooms and data containers to protect temperature and humidity sensitive data media (see 3.5) and hardware systems (see 3.6) from the effects of fire. A test method for measuring the resistance to mechanical stress (impact test) provided by data rooms type B and data containers is also specified.
Requirements are also specified for test specimens, the technical documentation of the test specimens, materials specimens, physical fittings, the correlation of test specimens with the technical documentation and the preparation for type testing, as test procedures as well as the series production.
In addition, a scheme to classify data rooms and data containers from the test results is given (see Table 1).
As well as providing protection against fire, correctly installed data rooms and data containers offer a defined protection against impacts caused by failure during fire of components and objects external to the data room or data container.
Data rooms and data containers having the same design, protection and construction features (type and thickness of construction and protective materials, rebate geometry, lockings, doors, etc.) will only be given the same protection classification as that of the test specimen if the tolerances are within the ranges specified in Clause 7.
NOTE   This European Standard does not regulate the use of data rooms in the meaning of the building laws of the respective countries. In the construction of data rooms, it is advised to consider the respective national requirements.

Refractory materials - Determination of thermal conductivity - Part 2: Hot-wire method (parallel) (ISO 8894-2:2007)
EN ISO 8894-2:2025

This part of ISO 8894 describes a hot-wire (parallel) method for the determination of the thermal conductivity of refractory products and materials. It is applicable to dense and insulating shaped products and to powdered or granular materials (see 6.2), for thermal conductivities of less than 25 W/m·K. The limits are imposed by the thermal diffusivity of the test material and therefore by the dimensions of the test pieces; higher thermal conductivities can be measured if larger pieces are used. Electrically conducting materials cannot be measured.
NOTE 1 The thermal conductivity of products with a hydraulic or chemical bond can be affected by the appreciable amount of water that is retained after hardening or setting and is released on firing. These materials can therefore require pretreatment. The nature and extent of such pretreatment, and the period for which the test piece is held at the measurement temperature as a preliminary to carrying out the test, are details that are outside the scope of this part of ISO 8894 and are agreed between the parties concerned.
NOTE 2 In general, it is difficult to make measurements on anisotropic materials and the use of this method for such materials is also agreed between the parties concerned.
