Test methods for determining the contribution to the fire resistance of structural members - Part 4: Applied passive protection products to steel members

This specifies the test methods for determining the contribution to the fire resistance of structural members for applied protection to steel members.

Prüfverfahren zur Bestimmung des Beitrages zum Feuerwiderstand von tragenden Bauteilen - Teil 4: Passive Brandschutzmaterialien für Stahlbauteile

Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Prüfverfahren zur Bestimmung des Beitrages von Brandschutzsystemen zum
Feuerwiderstand von Stahlbauteilen wie Balken, Stützen oder Zuggliedern fest.
Die Bewertung ist so konzipiert, dass diese einen Bereich von Dicken des Brandschutzmaterials, einen Bereich
von Stahlquerschnitten, die durch ihre Profilfaktoren beschrieben sind, einen Bereich von Bemessungstemperaturen,
sowie einen Gültigkeitsbereich von Klassifizierungszeiten der Brandschutzmaßnahme umfasst.
Diese Europäische Norm ist für Brandschutzmaterialien anwendbar, bei denen der Hohlraum zwischen dem
Material der Brandschutzbekleidung und der Oberfläche des Flansches vom Stahlbauteil kleiner als 5 mm ist.
Andernfalls ist das Prüfverfahren je nach Anwendung nach EN 13381-1 oder EN 13381-2 durchzuführen.
Diese Europäische Norm beinhaltet das Prüfverfahren, das durchzuführen ist, um das Leistungsvermögen des
Brandschutzsystems sowohl hinsichtlich seiner Formstabilität als auch ihrer Haftungseigenschaft mit den zu
schützenden Stahlbauteilen zu bestimmen. Weiterhin werden Messwerte zum thermischen Verhalten der
Brandschutzsysteme ermittelt, wenn diese durch die Einheits-Temperaturzeitkurve nach EN 1363-1 beansprucht
werden.
Sofern in nationalen Bauvorschriften festgelegt, kann es in besonderen Fällen für reaktive Brandschutzbeschichtungen
erforderlich sein, diese durch eine Schwelbrandkurve zu beanspruchen. Das Prüfverfahren hierzu
und die Gründe für ihre Benutzung sind in Anhang A aufgeführt.
Das Brandprüfverfahren erlaubt die Ermittlung und Darstellung von Messwerten, die als direkte Eingangswerte zur
Ermittlung der Feuerwiderstandsfähigkeit von tragenden Stahlbauteilen nach EN 1993-1-2 anwendbar sind.
Diese Europäische Norm beinhaltet ebenfalls die Beurteilung, die festlegt, wie die Analyse der Messwerte
durchzuführen ist, sowie eine Anleitung zur Interpolation.

Méthode d'essai pour déterminer la contribution à la résistance au feu des éléments de construction - Partie 4 : Revêtements non réactifs

Cette partie de la présente Norme européenne spécifie une méthode d'essai permettant de déterminer la contribution apportée par l'application de systèmes de protection au feu aux éléments de construction en acier pouvant être utilisés comme des poutres ou des poteaux. Elle ne prend en compte que les tronçons ne comportant pas d'ouverture dans l'âme. Elle ne s'applique pas directement aux éléments précontraints sans évaluation supplémentaire. Les résultats des analyses des sections en I ou H s'appliquent directement aux cornières, profilés en U et sections en T pour le même facteur de massiveté, qu'ils soient utilisés individuellement ou en entretoisement. La présente norme ne s'applique pas aux barres ni aux tiges pleines.
Elle couvre les systèmes de protection au feu qui impliquent uniquement des matériaux passifs et non les matériaux réactifs de protection au feu tels que définis dans le présent document.
L'évaluation est conçue pour couvrir une plage d'épaisseurs du matériau de protection au feu appliqué, une plage de tronçons d'acier, caractérisés par leurs facteurs de massiveté, une plage de températures données et une plage de durées de résistance au feu.
La présente Norme européenne comprend l'essai au feu qui spécifie les essais devant être réalisés pour déterminer l'aptitude du système de protection au feu à rester cohérent et fixé sur l’ouvrage en acier et pour fournir des données sur les caractéristiques thermiques du système de protection au feu lorsqu'il est exposé à la courbe normalisée température/temps prescrite dans l'EN 1363-1.
La méthodologie des essais au feu comporte des dispositions concernant le recueil et la présentation de données susceptibles de servir comme des entrées directes pour le calcul de la résistance au feu d'éléments de construction en acier conformément aux modes opératoires donnés dans l'EN 1993­1­2 et l'EN 1994-1-2.

Foreword
This document (prEN 13381-4:2008) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 127 “Fire
safety in buildings”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede ENV 13381-4:2002.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and
the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of 89/106/EEC.
This document is one of a series of standards for evaluating the contribution to the fire resistance of
structural members by applied fire protection materials. Other parts of this EN are:
Part 1: Horizontal protective membranes.
Part 2: Vertical protective membranes.
Part 3: Applied protection to concrete members.
Part 5: Applied protection to concrete/profiled sheet steel composite members.
Part 6: Applied protection to concrete filled hollow steel composite columns.
Part 7: Applied protection to timber members.
Annexes A to J are normative.
CAUTION — The attention of all persons concerned with managing and carrying out this fire
resistance test, is drawn to the fact that fire testing can be hazardous and that there is a
possibility that toxic and / or harmful smoke and gases can be evolved during the test.
Mechanical and operational hazards can also arise during the construction of test elements or
structures, their testing and the disposal of test residues.
An assessment of all potential hazards and risks to health shall be made and safety precautions shall
be identified and provided. Written safety instructions shall be issued. Appropriate training shall be
given to relevant personnel. Laboratory personnel shall ensure that they follow written safety
instructions at all times.
The specific health and safety instructions contained within this Standard shall be followed.

1 Scope
This part of this European Standard specifies a test method for determining the contribution made by
applied fire protection systems to the fire resistance of structural steel members, which can be used
as beams, columns or tension members.
The evaluation is designed to cover a range of thicknesses of the applied fire protection material, a
range of steel sections, characterized by their section factors, a range of design temperatures and a
range of valid fire protection classification periods.
This European Standard applies to fire protection materials where the gap between the material and
the flange faces of the steel member is less than 5 mm in size. Otherwise, the test methods in
EN 13381-1 or EN 13381-2, as appropriate, apply.
This European Standard contains the fire test which specifies the tests which shall be carried out to
determine the ability of the fire protection system to remain coherent and fixed to the steelwork, and to
provide data on the thermal characteristics of the fire protection system, when exposed to the
standard temperature/time curve specified in EN 1363-1.
In special circumstances, where specified in national building regulations, there can be a need to
subject reactive protection material to a smouldering curve. The test for this and the special
circumstances for its use are described in annex A.
The fire test methodology makes provision for the collection and presentation of data which can be
used as direct input to the calculation of fire resistance of steel structural members in accordance with
the procedures given in EN 1993-1-2.
This European Standard also contains the assessment which prescribes how the analysis of the test
data shall be made and gives guidance on the procedures by which interpolation shall be undertaken.
The assessment procedure is used to establish:
a) on the basis of temperature data derived from testing loaded and unloaded sections, a correction
factor and any practical constraints on the use of the fire protection system under fire test
conditions, (the physical performance);
b) on the basis of the temperature data derived from testing short steel column sections, the thermal
properties of the fire protection system, (the thermal performance).
The limits of applicability of the results of the assessment arising from the fire test are defined,
together with permitted direct application of the results to different steel sections and grades and to
different fire protection systems and fixings.
The results of the test and assessment obtained according to this part of EN 13381 are directly
applicable to steel sections of "I" and "H" cross sectional shape. Guidance is given in annex B on the
application of the data obtained from "I" and "H" steel sections to other section shapes.
