Overview
EN 1363-2:1999, published by CEN, is the part of the EN 1363 series that specifies alternative and additional procedures for fire resistance tests. Designed to be read in conjunction with prEN/EN 1363-1, this standard covers special heating conditions and supplementary test methods that apply when the standard time–temperature (fire) curve is not appropriate. EN 1363-2:1999 addresses situations such as hydrocarbon fires, slow heating scenarios, external fire exposures, impact during fire, and measurement of radiative heat transfer.
Key topics
- Alternative heating conditions
- Procedures for applying non-standard heating regimes (e.g., hydrocarbon fire curves, slow heating) when testing building elements and materials.
- External fire exposure
- Methods for simulating fires impinging on the outside of structures (external fire exposure heating curves).
- Additional impact test
- Guidance on assessing structural integrity under impact loading combined with fire exposure.
- Measurement of radiation
- Procedures to measure radiative heat fluxes during test exposures where radiation plays a significant role.
- Scope linkage
- Requirement to use EN 1363-2:1999 alongside prEN/EN 1363-1 for full test procedure definitions and common test conditions.
Applications
EN 1363-2:1999 is used where conventional furnace test procedures do not represent real-life fire scenarios. Typical practical applications include:
- Petrochemical, oil & gas, and industrial facilities requiring hydrocarbon fire assessment.
- Façade, roof and external structure testing where external fire exposure and radiation measurement are critical.
- Structural components exposed to slow heating or post-impact conditions (e.g., vehicle collisions preceding fire).
- Specialized test laboratories developing and reporting fire resistance test data under alternative curves.
- Fire safety engineers, manufacturers, certification bodies, and regulators who need rigorous methods for non-standard fire exposures.
Who uses this standard
- Accredited fire testing laboratories
- Fire protection engineers and consultants
- Building product manufacturers (cladding, doors, structural systems)
- Certification and conformity assessment bodies
- Authorities having jurisdiction for industrial and infrastructure fire safety
