Introduction
The purpose of the test is to evaluate the ability of a non-mechanical (no moving parts) fire barrier (see
Annex A) to prevent fire and smoke spreading from one fire compartment to another through the air
ductwork system which may penetrate fire separating walls and floors.
Non-mechanical fire barriers are unable to achieve an “S” classification, which requires a known limited
ambient leakage, as they are unable to be closed except under fire conditions.
The non-mechanical fire barrier is attached (directly or remotely via a section of ducting), to a fire
separating element in a manner representative of practice.
Tests are performed starting with the non-mechanical fire barrier in its cold standard state to expose it
to furnace conditions.
Temperature and integrity measurements are carried out in various parts of the test construction
during the test. The leakage of the non-mechanical fire barrier system is measured (continuously during
the test) by direct flow measurements while maintaining a constant pressure differential across the
closed non-mechanical fire barrier of 300 Pa.
Caution:
The attention of all persons concerned with managing and carrying out this fire resistance test is drawn
to the fact that fire testing may be hazardous and that there is a possibility that toxic and/or harmful
smoke and gases may be evolved during the test. Mechanical and operational hazards may also arise
during the construction of the test elements or structures, their testing and disposal of test residues.
An assessment of all potential hazards and risks to health should be made and safety precautions
should be identified and provided. Written safety instructions should be issued. Appropriate training
should be given to relevant personnel. Laboratory personnel should ensure that they follow written
safety instructions at all times.

4 Test equipment
4.1 General
In addition to the test equipment specified in EN 1363-1, and if applicable, EN 1363-2, the following is
required. Examples of test configurations are shown in Figures 1 and 2.
4.2 Connecting duct
The connecting duct shall be of all welded construction fabricated from (1,5 ± 0,1) mm thick steel of the
same size (width x height or diameter) as the non-mechanical fire barrier being tested. The duct shall
have a length of two times the diagonal dimension of the non-mechanical fire barrier up to a maximum
of 2 m. Where a non-mechanical fire barrier that has a short spigot such that connection to the
connecting duct is difficult, this spigot shall be extended by 500 mm using material of the same type and
thickness of the spigot in order to provide a secure air-tight connection without unduly stiffening the
non-mechanical fire barrier. This extended spigot shall be all welded the same as the connecting duct.
The length of the connecting duct shall then be reduced by 500 mm.
The connecting duct may be provided with a gas tight observation window.
Care should be taken in the event of testing to Figure 4, to select a method of connecting the non-
mechanical fire barrier to the ductwork to ensure that accurate leakage is recorded.
4.3 Volume flow measuring station
This shall consist of a venturi, orifice plate, or other suitable device and (where necessary) an air flow
straightener, installed in straight lengths of pipe, all sized to EN ISO 5167-1, EN ISO 5167-2 and
EN ISO 5167-3. It shall be installed between the connecting duct and the exhaust fan to determine the
volume flow rate of gases passing through the non-mechanical fire barrier under test. The measuring
device shall be capable of measuring to an accuracy of ± 5 %. Regardless of whether vertical or
horizontal non-mechanical fire barriers are being tested, the volume flow measuring station shall
always be used in a horizontal orientation.

EN 1366-12:2014+A1:2019 (E)
4.4 Condensing unit
Where materials used in the construction of a non-mechanical fire barrier may generate quantities of
steam during the fire test, a condensing unit having provision for drainage shall be installed between
the non-mechanical fire barrier and the flow measuring device. When using the condensing device, the
temperature recorded by the thermocouple positioned downstream of the flow measuring device
described in 4.3 shall not exceed 40 °C.
4.5 Gas temperature measuring devices
These shall be positioned adjacent to the flow measuring device. A suitable device is a 1,5 mm diameter
sheathed thermocouple orientated vertically with its measuring junction located at the centre line of
the measuring duct and at a distance equal to twice the diameter of the measuring duct downstream
from the flow measuring device. A similar thermocouple may be located at the exit from the connecting
duct plenum for information purposes only (see Figure 1).
4.6 Exhaust fan system
This shall be capable of controlling the flow rates and maintaining the specified pressure differential
between the connecting duct and the furnace when the non-mechanical fire barrier is closed under fire
conditions.
The 300 Pa (or higher if applicable) pressure differential shall be regulated by a suitable control system.
The pressure shall be controlled to within ± 5 % of the specified value.
5 Test conditions
The heating conditions and the furnace atmosphere shall conform to those given in EN 1363-1, or if
applicable, EN 1363-2.
The furnace pressure shall be controlled to EN 1363-1, except in the case of testing non-mechanical fire
barriers installed in a vertical separating element when the pressure shall be controlled to (15 ± 3) Pa
at mid height of the non-mechanical fire barrier. If two or more such non-mechanical fire barriers are
being tested simultaneously, this pressure shall be established at mid height of the lower non-
mechanical fire barrier.
For non-mechanical fire barriers installed in a horizontal separating element the pressure shall be
controlled to (20 ± 3) Pa at 100 mm below the underside of the separating element to which it is fixed.
Details of pressure conditions within the connecting duct are given in 9.2.
6 Test specimen
6.1 Size
For the fire test, see 10.2, the maximum size of non-mechanical fire barrier shall be tested. If this is
made from sections, the maximum number of sections with all their framework (transoms and
mullions) shall be tested.
6.2 Number of tests
6.2.1 General
The number of tests depends on various factors.
• Supporting construction;

EN 1366-12:2014+A1:2019 (E)
• method of installation in the supporting construction;
• method of installation on to the supporting construction;
• method of installation away from the supporting construction.
It may be seen that there are considerable combinations of supporting constructions, installation
methods etc. and this leads to a large number of tests.
Reference should be made to the extended field of application standard before starting a test program
as careful consideration of this may reduce the number of tests that need to be completed. It is
advisable that this is done in conjunction with a notified body or test authority.
6.2.2 Supporting construction
Typical supporting constructions would be masonry walls, blockwork walls, dry walls, concrete floors
etc. Other supporting constructions may be available and these should be used if it is proposed that the
non-mechanical fire barrier be tested in conjunction with them.
6.2.3 Method of installation in the supporting construction
Each method proposed for installation in each supporting construction shall be tested. The non-
mechanical fire barrier shall be tested both ways round.
NOTE There were many discussions on symmetry in the revision and development of this standard. It proved
impossible to define symmetry in an objective way to allow all test or authorizing bodies to apply rules in a similar
way, particularly in the case of installation in the supporting construction. Also to be considered was where the
non-mechanical fire barrier was installed in the depth of the wall and so on. The concept of symmetry has been
removed from the standard.
6.2.4 Method of installation on to the supporting construction
Each method proposed for installation on to each supporting construction shall be tested. One test shall
be undertaken with the non-mechanical fire barrier inside the furnace and one test undertaken with the
non-mechanical fire barrier outside the furnace. The face of the non-mechanical fire barrier to be
presented to the supporting construction shall be clearly identified so that in cannot be installed the
wrong way round on site. If it is to be allowed to be installed either way round it shall be tested both
ways round inside the furnace and both ways round outside the furnace.
In the case of an uninsulated non-mechanical fire barrier fixed in this manner, only a barrier on the
inside of the furnace needs to be tested, as this is considered to be to the most onerous condition.
6.2.5 Method of installation away from the supporting construction
Each method proposed for installation away from each supporting construction shall be tested. One test
shall be undertaken with the non-mechanical fire barrier inside the furnace and one test undertaken
with the non-mechanical fire barrier outside the furnace. The face of the non-mechanical fire barrier on
the side of the supporting construction shall be clearly identified so that in cannot be installed the
wrong way round on site. If it is to be allowed to be installed either way round it shall be tested both
ways round inside the furnace and both ways round outside the furnace.
In addition to the largest size, when testing on the outside of the furnace only, a non-mechanical fire
barrier of the smallest size shall be tested. This is to prove closure when restricted exposure is given to
the radiant heat of the furnace.
The method of support of the ductwork through the supporting construction shall be clearly defined as
this will form part of the installation method

6.3 Design
6.3.1 General
The test shall be made on a test specimen representative of the assembly on which information is
required. The general test layouts and equipment references are shown in Figures 1 and 2 for walls and
floors respectively.
6.3.2 Orientation to be tested
Non-mechanical fire barriers which are to be installed in both horizontal and vertical constructions
shall be tested in both orientations. Non-mechanical fire barriers which may be installed vertically but
in different design orientations shall be tested in both orientations – e.g. slots vertical and slots
horizontal.
6.3.3 Non-mechanical fire barriers installed within a wall or floor opening
Non-mechanical fire barriers which are to be installed within an opening in line with a wall or floor
shall be tested as generally shown in Figure 3.
6.3.4 Non-mechanical fire barriers mounted on to the face of a wall or floor
Non-mechanical fire barriers which are to be installed mounted on to the face of a wall or floor shall be
tested as generally shown in Figures 4 and 5.
Uninsulated non-mechanical fire barriers which are to be mounted onto the face of a wall or floor shall
be tested with the non-mechanical fire barrier positioned within the furnace.
Insulated non-mechanical fire barriers which are to be mounted onto the face of a wall or floor shall be
tested from both sides so that the insulation properties of the non-mechanical fire barrier body, and
where appropriate the duct, can be evaluated. Non-mechanical fire barriers which can be mounted
above or below the floor shall be te
