European foreword
This document (prEN 1991-1-2:2021) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 250
“Structural Eurocodes”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI. CEN/TC 250 is responsible for all
Structural Eurocodes and has been assigned responsibility for structural and geotechnical design matters
by CEN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 1991-1-2:2002.
The first generation of EN Eurocodes was published between 2002 and 2007. This document forms part
of the second generation of the Eurocodes, which have been prepared under Mandate M/515 issued to
CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association.
The Eurocodes have been drafted to be used in conjunction with relevant execution, material, product
and test standards, and to identify requirements for execution, materials, products and testing that are
relied upon by the Eurocodes.
The Eurocodes recognise the responsibility of each Member State and have safeguarded their right to
determine values related to regulatory safety matters at national level through the use of National
Annexes.

0 Introduction
0.1 Introduction to the Eurocodes
The structural Eurocodes comprise the following standards generally consisting of a number of Parts:
— EN 1990, Eurocode: Basis of structural and geotechnical design
— EN 1991, Eurocode 1: Actions on structures
— EN 1992, Eurocode 2: Design of concrete structures
— EN 1993, Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures
— EN 1994, Eurocode 4: Design of composite steel and concrete structure
— EN 1995, Eurocode 5: Design of timber structures
— EN 1996, Eurocode 6: Design of masonry structures
— EN 1997, Eurocode 7: Geotechnical design
— EN 1998, Eurocode 8: Design of structures for earthquake resistance
— EN 1999, Eurocode 9: Design of aluminium structures

The Eurocodes are intended for use by designers, clients, manufacturers, constructors, relevant
authorities (in exercising their duties in accordance with national or international regulations),
educators, software developers, and committees drafting standards for related product, testing and
execution standards.
NOTE Some aspects of design are most appropriately specified by relevant authorities or, where not specified,
can be agreed on a project-specific basis between relevant parties such as designers and clients. The Eurocodes
identify such aspects making explicit reference to relevant authorities and relevant parties.
0.2 Introduction to EN 1991
EN 1991 provides the actions to be considered for the structural design of buildings, bridges and other
civil engineering works, or parts thereof, including temporary structures, in conjunction with EN 1990
and the other Eurocodes.
The actions on structures, including in some cases geotechnical structures in conjunction with EN 1997
as appropriate, provided in EN 1991 are intended to be applied in conjunction with the other Eurocodes
for the verification of safety, serviceability and durability, as well as robustness of structures, including
the execution phase.
EN 1991 does not cover actions for structures in seismic regions, unless explicitly prescribed by EN 1998.
EN 1991 is applicable to existing structures for their:
— structural assessment,
— retrofitting (strengthening, repair) design,
— assessment for changes of use.

NOTE 1 In this case, additional or amended provisions can be necessary.
EN 1991 is applicable to the design of structures where materials or actions outside the scope of the other
Eurocodes are involved.
NOTE 2 In this case, additional or amended provisions can be necessary.
0.3 Introduction to prEN 1991-1-2
prEN 1991-1-2 describes the thermal and mechanical actions for the structural design of buildings
exposed to fire, including the following safety requirements and design procedures.
prEN 1991-1-2 is intended to be used with EN 1990, the other Parts of EN 1991 and EN 1992 to EN 1999
for the design of structures.
0.3.1 Safety requirements
The general objectives are to limit risks with respect to the individual and society, neighbouring property,
and where required, environment or directly exposed property, in the case of fire.
Construction Products Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 gives the following requirement for the limitation
of the consequence in case of fire:
“The construction works must be designed and built in such a way, that in the event of an outbreak of fire
— the load bearing capacity of the construction can be assumed for a specified period of time,
— the generation and spread of fire and smoke within the works are limited,
— the spread of fire to neighbouring construction works is limited,
— the occupants can leave the works or can be rescued by other means,
— the safety of rescue teams is taken into consideration”.
1)
According to the Interpretative Document N°2 “Safety in Case of Fire” the essential requirement may be
observed by following various possibilities for fire safety strategies prevailing in the Member States like
conventional fire scenarios (nominal fires) or “natural” (physically based) fire scenarios, including
passive and/or active fire protection measures.
Required functions and levels of performance can be specified either in terms of nominal (standard) fire
resistance rating, generally given in national fire regulations or, where allowed by national fire
regulations, by referring to fire safety engineering for assessing passive and active measures.
The fire parts of Structural Eurocodes deal with specific aspects of passive fire protection in terms of
designing structures and parts thereof for adequate load bearing resistance and for limiting fire spread
as relevant.
Numerical values for partial factors and other reliability elements are given to provide an acceptable level
of reliability. They have been selected assuming that an appropriate level of workmanship and of quality
management applies.

0.3.2 Design procedures
A full analytical procedure for structural fire design would take into account the behaviour of the
structural system at elevated temperatures, the potential heat exposure and the beneficial effects of
active and passive fire protection systems, together with the uncertainties associated with these three
features and the importance of the structure (consequences of failure).
At the present time, it is possible to undertake a procedure for determining adequate performance which
incorporates some, if not all, of the above parameters and to demonstrate that the structure, or its
components, will give adequate performance in a real building fire. However, where the procedure is
based on a nominal (standard) fire, the classification system, which calls for specific periods of fire
resistance, takes into account (though not explicitly) the features and uncertainties described above.
Figure 1 illustrates the two design procedures provided by prEN 1991-1-2, i.e. the prescriptive approach
and the performance-based approach. The prescriptive approach uses nominal (standard) fires to
generate thermal actions. The performance-based approach, using fire safety engineering, refers to
thermal actions based on physical and chemical parameters.

Figure 1 — Alternative design procedures
0.4 Verbal forms used in the Eurocodes
The verb “shall" expresses a requirement strictly to be followed and from which no deviation is permitted
in order to comply with the Eurocodes.
The verb “should” expresses a highly recommended choice or course of action. Subject to national
regulation and/or any relevant contractual provisions, alternative approaches could be used/adopted
where technically justified.
The verb “may” expresses a course of action permissible within the limits of the Eurocodes.
The verb “can” expresses possibility and capability; it is used for statements of fact and clarification of
concepts.

0.5 National Annex for prEN 1991-1-2
National choice is allowed by this standard where explicitly stated within notes. National choice includes
the selection of values for Nationally Determined Parameters (NDPs).
The national standard implementing prEN 1991-1-2 can have a National Annex containing all national
choices to be used for the design of buildings and civil engineering works to be constructed in the relevant
country.
When no national choice is given, the default choice given in this standard is to be used.
When no national choice is made and no default choice is given in this standard, the choice can be
specified by the relevant authority or, where not specified, agreed for a specific project by the relevant
parties.
National choice is allowed in prEN 1991-1-2 through the following clauses:
— 4.4(4)
— 6.2.2(2)
— 6.3.1(2)
— 6.3.2(3)
— 6.3.2(4)
National choice is allowed in this document on the use of the following informative annex:
