EN 13501-5:2005 (E) 4 Introduction The aim of this European Standard is to define a harmonized procedure for the classification of roofs/roof coverings exposed to external fire. This classification is based on the test methods 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). The European Commission has drawn up a list of products which, under specified conditions, may be considered to be Class BROOF without testing. This information is given in the Commission Decision of 2000-09-06 establishing the list of products belonging to Classes BROOF (Decision 2000/553/EC). SIST EN 13501-5:2006

EN 13501-5:2005 (E)
9 Products classified in a given class are deemed to satisfy all the requirements of any lower class for the same test method/fire hazard scenario. The classes with their corresponding fire performance are given in Table1. 5 Test methods 5.1 General The four test methods given in ENV 1187 are those to be used for classification purposes for roofs/roof coverings. The selection of the tests to be carried out is specified in 6.3. The classification parameters, the classes and the corresponding criteria are specified in Clauses 8 and 9. 5.2 Test 1: Method with burning brands The test evaluates the performance of a roof under the conditions of thermal attack with burning brands. The performance includes the fire spread across the external surface of the roof, the fire spread within the roof and the fire penetration. 5.3 Test 2: Method with burning brands and wind The test evaluates the performance of a roof covering under the conditions of thermal attack with burning brands and additional wind. The performance includes damaged length both on the roof covering and in the substrate. 5.4 Test 3: Method with burning brands, wind and supplementary radiant heat The test evaluates the performance of a roof under the conditions of thermal attack with burning brands, additional wind and radiant heat. The performance includes the external fire spread and the fire penetration. 5.5 Test 4: Two stage method incorporating burning brands, wind and supplementary radiant heat The test evaluates the performance of a roof under the conditions of thermal attack with burning brands, wind and radiant heat. The performance includes the external fire spread and the penetration by fire. 6 Principles for specimen preparation, testing and classification 6.1 General requirements for specimen preparation Before testing, the test specimens shall be prepared and conditioned and, where relevant, mounted in accordance with the relevant test method and product standards or other technical specifications. The external fire performance of a roof/roof covering includes such aspects as external and internal fire spread, external and internal damage, fire penetration and the occurrence of flaming droplets or debris. The external fire performance of a roof/roof covering therefore does not only depend on the burning behaviour of the exposed surface, the roof covering, but also on the influences of several components of the roof, such as the nature and thickness of insulating layers and vapour barriers together with their supporting elements. It may also depend on the systems of attachment of all components, e.g. glued or mechanically fastened. Therefore, the test specimens shall be representative, in all details of practical application with regard to: SIST EN 13501-5:2006
EN 13501-5:2005 (E) 10 a) substrate and deck; b) type, the number and the joining of all layers of roofing materials (including any insulation, vapour barriers, etc.); c) fixing of the layers. In order to reduce the amount of testing, individual test methods specify standard specimen arrangements, covering a wider field of application. Such standard specifications concern e.g. the supporting decks and substrates, and the types and positioning of joints. 6.2 General requirements for testing The external fire performance of a roof/roof covering does not only depend on the intrinsic properties of its components and the fire attack conditions, but also to a large extent on the pitch of the roof. In order to reduce the amount of testing, some standard pitches are defined, covering a wider field of application. However, in tests 1 and 3 a sponsor may choose none of the standard pitches, although this will limit the field of application of the classification to the pitch used for testing. 6.3 Selection of test methods Four different test methods, representing four different scenarios, are specified in ENV 1187. The methods assess the fire performance of roofs/roof coverings under the following conditions: a) test 1 assesses the performance of a roof under attack with burning brands; b) test 2 assesses the performance of a roof covering under attack with burning brands and wind; c) test 3 assesses the performance of a roof under attack with burning brands, wind and supplementary radiant heat; d) test 4 assesses the performance of a roof using a two stage test method incorporating burning brands, wind and supplementary radiant heat. The choice of the test method(s) to be applied depends on the classification envisaged by the sponsor. If only a classification BROOF (t1) is envisaged (see Table 1), only test 1 with burning brands is carried out. If only a classification BROOF (t2) is envisaged (see Table 1), only test 2 with burning brands and wind is carried out. If only a classification BROOF (t3) or CROOF (t3) or DROOF (t3) is envisaged (see Table 1), only test 3 with burning brands, wind and supplementary radiant heat is carried out. If only a classification BROOF(t4) or CROOF(t4) or DROOF(t4) or EROOF(t4) is envisaged (see Table 1), only test 4: two stage test method incorporating burning brands, wind and supplementary radiant heat is carried out. If more than one classification is required, all the corresponding tests are carried out, as there is no direct correlation between the test methods and hence, no generally accepted hierarchy of classification between them.

11 6.4 Specific requirements 6.4.1 General Each test specifies a series of standard specimen compositions and test conditions covering a wider field of direct application. The number of specimens to be prepared as well as the number of tests to be carried out depends on the envisaged field of application of the classification. Variables are the pitch of the roof, the deck and/or substrate applied for the test and the inclusion of joints. 6.4.2 Test 1 6.4.2.1 General Tests to be carried out are chosen to cover the envisaged field of direct application according to 6.4.2.5. 6.4.2.2 Pitch The standard test pitches are 15° and 45°. Tests may also be done at the actual intended pitch. 6.4.2.3 Nature of the deck The standard supporting decks for tests are specified in ENV 1187: a) wood particle board deck, constructed from planks 250 mm wide × 16 mm thick, density (680 ± 50) kg/m³ with plain edges and tightly but jointed so that gaps between planks do not exceed 0,5 mm; b) deck from wood particle board planks as under a) with plain edges with gaps of (5,0 ± 0,5) mm; c) deck of 10 mm thick reinforced calcium silicate board, dry density (680 ± 50) kg/m3; d) trapezoidal profiled steel deck; e) without any continuous deck. Tests may also be done with the actual intended deck. The classification so obtained is valid only for the deck tested. Table B.1 indicates how the deck can be selected taking into account the envisaged field of application. For each type of deck for which a classification is required, four test specimens are tested out of five types specified in 6.4.2.4 as shown in Table 1 of ENV 1187:2002. 6.4.2.4 Positioning of joints To assess the influence of the joints on the performance of the roof, five standard specimen types are defined out of which four shall be tested, details of which are given in ENV 1187. For every test on a given roof, four specimens are tested. SIST EN 13501-5:2006
