Door assemblies which cannot betested at full size shall normally be tested to the maximum size possible consistent with the use ofsupporting or associated constructions. If an associated construction is used, a minimum zone shall beexposed within the chamber, 200 mm wide each side and over the top of the aperture, into which thedoor assembly is to be fixed.6.2

Any seal used in the door or between the door assembly and the associated constructionshall be identical to that intended for application in practice.6.4
VerificationWhere practicable, the size, thickness and
material specification of the door assembly, shall bedetermined before the test to check the construction of the door against the manufacturersspecification and to allow adequate description of the tested assembly.All gaps through which smoke can leak shall be measured and recorded. Generally these are gapsbetween the edge of the door leaf/leaves and the door frame, between door leaves and at the sill level.A full description shall be given of the conditions prevailing at each edge and the presence and thenature of any seals.7Installation of test specimenThe test specimen shall be mounted as in practice, in an associated or supporting construction, inaccordance with the manufacturer's instructions, with appropriate gaps and clearances between thefixed and moveable parts.All gaps between the supporting or associated construction and test frame shall be tightly sealed withan impermeable material.8Conditioning8.1 Moisture contentThe test construction shall be conditioned in accordance with EN 1363-1. Door assemblies madeentirely of non-hygroscopic materials, e.g. metal, glass etc., shall be left in the laboratory for at leastthree days before testing. Any additional conditioning requirements in the relevant product standardshall also be observed.8.2MechanicalReference shall be made to the product standard for details of requirements for mechanicalconditioning of the test specimen before smoke leakage testing e.g. operational test or specimen selfclosing test.Durability requirements are given in the relevant product standard.SIST EN 1634-3:2002

ThermocouplesFor the medium temperature test nine thermocouples shall be used to monitor and control thetemperature inside the test chamber. The thermocouples shall be arranged in three horizontal rows.These thermocouples shall be spread equally across the chamber with three 150 mm from the bottomedge of the opening in the test frame, three in the centre and three at ¾ height position. The hotjunctions shall be positioned (100
50) mm from the exposed face of the test construction.9.2
PressureThe pressure measuring device head (see 4.2.2) shall be mounted in the test chamber at the centre ofthe test specimen (100
50) mm from the inside face of the test specimen.9.3
Air flowThe equipment described in 4.2.3 shall be installed.10Test procedure10.1
Pre-test procedures10.1.1
GeneralAfter installation of the assembly in the associated or the supporting construction, but before it ismounted in front of the test chamber, each door leaf, or moving element of a hinged door assembly,shall be opened to an angle of 30° and closed 10 times, using the automatic closing devices, ifprovided, to ensure the assembly operates normally.
With other types of doors, such as folding,sliding or rolling shutters, the opening and closing operation shall be carried out as far as practicableto check the operation of the assembly.
This procedure is not a durability test, for which specialprocedures are available.10.1.2
Retention force measurementsThe retention forces for all door assemblies which incorporate closing devices and which are meantto be opened unaided by mechanical power shall be measured. These measurements are needed toestablish the magnitude of the forces used to retain the door leaves closed to ensure that they arerepresentative of those used in normal practice.For each door leaf, the retention force shall be determined as given below. For double action doorsthe retention force shall be determined for each direction of opening, and for folding doors theretention force shall be determined in the direction of opening.The retention forces for all door assemblies which incorporate closing devices operated by egressingpersonnel without mechanical assistance shall be measured as follows:Open the test door slowly, using a force gauge attached to the handle and operatin
