External fire exposure of roofs and roof coverings - Extended application of test results from CEN/TS 1187

CEN/TS 16459 gives guidance on the process and development of extended fields of application using test results obtained from CEN/TS 1187 test 1 to 4, and included in test reports, and other relevant information in order to evaluate and classify the performance of roofs/roof coverings. This Technical Specification provides a methodology to consider the possible effect(s) on classification to EN 13501-5 from single or multiple changes to the individual product and end-use application parameters of the roof/roof covering. Specific application guidance is given in Annexe A, Annex B, Annex C and Annex D for CEN/TS 1187 tests 1 to 4 respectively.

Beanspruchung von Bedachungen durch Feuer von außen - Erweiterter Anwendungsbereich der Prüfergebnisse aus CEN/TS 1187

Das vorliegende Dokument liefert einen Leitfaden für den Prozess und die Entwicklung der erweiterten Anwendungsbereiche unter der Anwendung der in den Prüfungen 1 bis 4 nach CEN/TS 1187 erzielten und in Prüfberichten enthaltenen Prüfergebnisse und anderer einschlägiger Informationen zur Bewertung und Klassifizierung der Leistungsfähigkeit von Dächern/Bedachungen. Dieses Dokument legt eine Vorgehensweise fest, mit der die möglichen Auswirkungen einer einzelnen oder mehrfachen Änderung der einzelnen Produktparameter und Endanwendungsparameter des Daches/der Bedachung auf die Klassifizierung nach EN 13501 5 in Betracht zu ziehen sind.
In den Anhängen A bis D werden spezifische Leitlinien für die Anwendung der Prüfungen 1 bis 4 nach CEN/TS 1187 gegeben.

Exposition des toitures et des couvertures à un feu extérieur - Application étendue des résultats d'essai de la CEN/TS 1187

Le présent document fournit une méthodologie permettant d'étudier le ou les effets éventuels sur le classement selon l'EN 13501-5 de modifications simples ou multiples apportées aux produits individuels et aux paramètres d’utilisation finale de la toiture/couverture.
Des lignes directrices d'application spécifiques sont données respectivement dans les Annexes A à D pour les essais 1 à 4 de la CEN/TS 1187.

Introduction
Fire tests on individual roofs/roof coverings are carried out in accordance with CEN/TS 1187. The results from
these tests can then be classified in accordance with EN 13501-5.
In order to derive classifications for similar roofs/roof coverings based on the data determined from
CEN/TS 1187, additional rules are needed.
These rules are direct application rules or extended application rules. Rules within the direct field of
application of test results are given in EN 13501-5 (these rules correspond to CEN/TS 1187).
This document outlines a procedure to develop rules for extended application and lists application rules which
have already been developed in Annexes A to D for test methods 1 to 4 from CEN/TS 1187, where Annex A is
related to test method 1, Annex B relates to test method 2, and so forth.
Annexes A to D have been developed based upon the available information and the roof systems in the
market. The objective of this document is to provide a methodology for optimising the number of tests required
to cover the maximum field of application.
Whilst special attention has been focused on roofs typically comprising a support deck/substrate, vapour
barrier, insulation layer(s), membranes/roof coverings, there will be occasions when other separating layers or
intermediate layers will be needed to satisfy other roof characteristics. These layers should be included in the
consideration of the roof/the roof covering being classified.
NOTE Tests 1, 3 and 4 are carried out on a roof construction, whereas test 2 is done on a roof covering with its
substrate below.
The decision route from the diagram below shows ways to determine which procedure to follow.
The solid line is compulsory, whereas the dotted line is optional.

1 Scope
This Technical Specification gives guidance on the process and development of extended fields of application
using test results obtained from CEN/TS 1187 test 1 to 4, and included in test reports, and other relevant
information in order to evaluate and classify the performance of roofs/roof coverings. This Technical
Specification provides a methodology to consider the possible effect(s) on classification to EN 13501-5 from
single or multiple changes to the individual product and end-use application parameters of the roof/roof
covering.
Specific application guidance is given in Annexe A, Annex B, Annex C and Annex D for CEN/TS 1187 tests 1
to 4 respectively.
