Fire classification of construction products and building elements - Part 1: Classification using data from reaction to fire tests

This European Standard provides the reaction to fire classification procedure for all construction products, including products incorporated within building elements.
Products are considered in relation to their end use application.
This document applies to three categories, which are treated separately in this European Standard:
   construction products, excluding floorings and linear pipe thermal insulation products;
   floorings;
   linear pipe thermal insulation products.
NOTE   The treatment of some families of products is still under review and can necessitate amendments to this European Standard (see European Commission Decision 2000/147/EC).

Klassifizierung von Bauprodukten und Bauarten zu ihrem Brandverhalten - Teil 1: Klassifizierung mit den Ergebnissen aus den Prüfungen zum Brandverhalten von Bauprodukten

Diese Europäische Norm legt die Verfahren zur Klassifizierung des Brandverhaltens von Bauprodukten einschließlich der Produkte innerhalb von Bauteilen fest.
Bauprodukte werden unter Berücksichtigung ihrer praktischen Anwendung betrachtet.
Diese Europäische Norm wird auf drei Kategorien von Bauprodukten angewendet, die getrennt behandelt werden.
-   Bauprodukte, mit Ausnahme von Bodenbelägen und Rohrisolierung;
-   Bodenbeläge;
-   Rohrisolierung.
ANMERKUNG   Die Behandlung einiger Gruppen von Bauprodukten ist noch nicht abgeschlossen und kann Ergänzungen zu dieser Europäischen Norm erfordern (siehe die Entscheidung der Kommission (00/147/EG Entscheidung).

Classement au feu des produits et éléments de construction - Partie 1 : Classement a partir des données d'essais de réaction au feu

La présente Norme européenne fournit la procédure de classement en réaction au feu de tous les produits de construction, y compris les produits contenus dans les éléments de construction.
Les produits sont considérés en fonction de leur utilisation finale.
Le présent document s'applique a trois catégories de produits qui sont traitées séparément dans la présente Norme européenne :
   produits de construction, a l’exception des revetements de sol et des produits d’isolation thermique pour conduite linéaire ;
   revetements de sol ;
   produits d’isolation thermique pour conduite linéaire.
NOTE   Le traitement de certaines familles de produits est toujours en cours de révision et peut nécessiter des amendements a la présente Norme européenne (voir la Décision de la Commission Européenne 2000/147/CE).

EN 13501-1:2007 (E) 5 Foreword This document (EN 13501-1:2007) 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 2007, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by August 2007. This document supersedes EN13501-1:2002. In addition to editorial corrections this document includes the reaction to fire classification procedure for linear pipe thermal insulation products. CEN, CENELEC and EOTA committees preparing technical specifications, which contain performance requirements against reaction to fire tests, should make reference to the reaction to fire classification given in this European Standard and not refer directly to any specific fire test method. EN 13501 Fire classification of construction products and building elements consists of the following parts: Part 1: Classification using data from reaction to fire tests Part 2: Classification using data from fire resistance tests, excluding ventilation services Part 3: Classification using data from fire resistance tests on products and elements used in building service installations: fire resisting ducts and fire dampers Part 4: Classification using data from fire resistance tests on components of smoke control systems Part 5: Classification using data from external fire exposure to roofs tests According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.



EN 13501-1:2007 (E) 6 Introduction The aim of this European Standard is to define a harmonized procedure for the classification of reaction to fire of construction products. This classification is based on the test procedures listed in Clause 5. This European Standard has been prepared in support of the second essential requirement in the EC Construction Products Directive (89/106/EEC) and as detailed in the Interpretative Document Number 2: Safety in case of fire (OJ C62 Vol. 37). Background information on the Commission Decision regarding the classification of the reaction to fire performance of construction products is given in Annex A. The European Commission has drawn up a list of products which, under specified conditions, can be considered to be class A1 without testing. This information is given in the Commission Decision 96/603/EC (OJ L 267 19.10.1966 p23) as amended by 2000/605/EC (OJ L 258 12.10.2000 p36) and 2003/424/EC (OJ L 144 12.6.2003 p9). Additionally there is a procedure by which certain products can be assigned a particular fire classification without the need for testing. Such products have well established reaction to fire performance and have been agreed by the Standing Committee on Construction. Agreements relating to such products which may be ‘classified without further testing’ (CWFT) are published in the Official Journal of the EC and are listed on the Nando-CPD database on the EC website ( http://europa.eu.int/comm/enterprise/construction ). Parts 2, 3 and 4 of this European Standard are concerned with classification resulting from fire resistance tests. Part 5 covers classification resulting from tests for external fire exposure to roofs. NOTE If the classification based on the tests and criteria given in Tables 1 and 2 is not appropriate, one or more reference scenarios (representative scale tests typifying agreed hazard scenarios) can be called upon within the context of a defined procedure. This procedure is intended to be the subject of a future European Standard or Commission Decision, on the basis of an agreement between the Commission and the Member States, in consultation with CEN/CENELEC and EOTA.

Products are considered in relation to their end use application. This document applies to three categories, which are treated separately in this European Standard:  construction products, excluding floorings and linear pipe thermal insulation products;  floorings;  linear pipe thermal insulation products. NOTE The treatment of some families of products is still under review and can necessitate amendments to this European Standard (see European Commission Decision 2000/147/EC). 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

NOTE It is a product composed of one or more components, substantial and/or non-substantial 3.1.5 substantial component material that constitutes a significant part of a non-homogeneous product. A layer with a mass/unit area
≥ 1,0 kg/m2 or a thickness ≥ 1,0 mm is considered to be a substantial component 3.1.6 non-substantial component material that does not constitute a significant part of a non-homogeneous product. A layer with a mass/unit area < 1,0 kg/m2 and a thickness < 1,0 mm is considered to be a non-substantial component NOTE Two or more non-substantial layers that are adjacent to each other (i.e. with no substantial component(s) in between the layers) are regarded as one non-substantial component when they collectively comply with the requirements for a layer being a non-substantial component. 3.1.7 internal non-substantial component non-substantial component that is covered on both sides by at least one substantial component 3.1.8 external non-substantial component non-substantial component that is not covered on one side by a substantial component 3.1.9 flooring upper layer(s) of a floor, comprising any surface finish with or without an attached backing and with any accompanying underlay, interlayer and adhesives 3.1.10 linear pipe thermal insulation product length of insulation product designed to fit around pipes, with a maximum outer insulation diameter of 300 mm and not intended for use with cylindrical ducts 3.1.11 substrate product which is used immediately beneath the product about which information is required.
