Overview
EN 1993-1-2:2024 - Eurocode 3: Structural fire design provides the rules for designing steel structures for accidental fire exposure. This Part of Eurocode 3 identifies the differences from, or supplements to, normal-temperature design and applies to steel elements required to fulfil a loadbearing function. It does not cover separating functions (e.g., fire compartmentation). The standard is intended to be used together with other Eurocodes (notably EN 1991-1-2 for fire actions and EN 1993-1-1 for normal-temperature steel design) and with execution/product standards such as EN 1090-2/4.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope & assumptions: Applies to steel members within the scope of EN 1993‑1‑1. Design fire scenarios must be chosen by qualified personnel or follow national regulation; fire protection measures accounted for in design must be maintained.
- Design approaches: Provides simplified design methods (tabulated data, classification of cross-sections) and advanced design methods (coupled thermal and mechanical analyses). Verification can be at member, part-of-structure, or global structural levels.
- Thermal and mechanical behaviour: Defines thermal properties, temperature development, and elevated-temperature mechanical properties for structural steels, including strain-hardening (Annex A) and stainless steels (Annex C).
- Tabulated data & calculation aids: Includes tabulated design values, critical temperatures, and rules for class 4 cross-sections and effective widths.
- Special topics & annexes:
- Heat transfer to external steelwork and models for columns/beams (Annex B).
- Joints and temperature of joints in fire; bolted/welded joint behaviour; welded steel tubular joints (Annex D).
- Beams with large web openings (new Annex E).
- Material and product constraints: Nominal fire procedures apply up to steel grade S700; physically based thermal actions applicable up to S500. Execution quality per EN 1090 required.
Practical applications and users
Who uses EN 1993-1-2:2024:
- Structural and fire engineers designing steel frames, columns, beams and connections for required fire-resistance periods.
- Design offices preparing building permits and compliance documentation in CEN member countries.
- Fabricators and contractors ensuring execution quality (EN 1090) and maintenance of passive fire protection.

identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by September 2027, and conflicting national standards shall
be withdrawn at the latest by March 2028.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes EN 1993-1-2:2005 and its corrigenda.
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 recognize 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.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are listed below:
• reduction in number of National Choices (NDPs): NDPs have reduced from 5 to 4;
• enhanced ease of use;
• new structure harmonized with fire parts of other Eurocodes;
• high strength steels: Nominal fires are applicable to steel grades up to and including S700. Physically
based thermal actions are applicable to steel grades up to and including S500;
• emissivity coefficient for hot-dip galvanized steel;
• existing buckling curve for LTB has been improved to take in to account the beneficial effect of non-
uniform bending diagrams;
• Annex C for stainless steel member has been changed with a completely new content;
• Annex D has changed the calculation of the temperature of joints in fire;
• Annex D now includes welded steel tubular joints;
• former Annex E for Class 4 cross-sections was withdrawn. New design rules for class 4 cross-sections

type like steel bridges, towers, masts and chimneys, silos and tanks, piling, crane supporting structures,
etc. EN 1993-2 to EN 1993-7 refer to the generic rules in EN 1993-1 and supplement, modify or supersede
them, where relevant.
0.3 Introduction to EN 1993-1-2
EN 1993-1-2 describes the principles, requirements and rules for the structural design of steel buildings
exposed to fire. The focus in EN 1993-1-2 is on design methods and design rules for individual members
(beams, columns, beam-columns), joints and skeletal structures (frames) regarding resistance and
stability under fire conditions.
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 EN 1993-1-2
National choice is allowed in this standard where explicitly stated within notes. National choice includes
the selection of values for Nationally Determined Parameters (NDPs).
The national standard implementing EN 1993-1-2 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.
SIST EN 1993-1-2:2024
When no national choice is made and no default is given in this standard, the choice can be specified by a
relevant authority or, where not specified, agreed for a specific project by appropriate parties.
National choice is allowed in EN 1993-1-2 through notes to the following clauses:
4.5 (1) 4.7 (2) 7.5 (2) – 2 choices
National choice is allowed in EN 1993-1-2 on the application of the following informative annexes:

(all parts) and the specific design provisions for steel structures given in EN 1993-1-1, EN 1993-1-3,
EN 1993-1-4, EN 1993-1-5, EN 1993-1-6, EN 1993-1-7, EN 1993-1-8, EN 1993-1-11, EN 1993-1-13 or
EN 1993-1-14.
(2) Steel structures designed according to this document shall be executed according to EN 1090-2
and/or EN 1090-4 with construction materials and products used as specified in the relevant parts of
EN 1993, or in the relevant material and product specifications.
(3) Where mechanical resistance in the case of fire is required, steel structures shall be designed and
constructed in such a way that they maintain their loadbearing function during the relevant fire exposure.
(4) Deformation criteria shall be applied where the means of fire protection require consideration of the
deformation of the loadbearing structure.
(5) Consideration of the deformation of the loadbearing structure may be omitted when the efficiency of
the means of protection has been evaluated according to 5.2.3.
(6) Deformation criteria shall be applied where the design criteria for separating elements require taking
into account of the deformation of the loadbearing structure.
(7) Consideration of the deformation of the loadbearing structure may be omitted when the separating
elements fulfil requirements of a nominal fire exposure.
(8) Steel structures designed in accordance with EN 1993-1-1 should be considered to have sufficient
minimum robustness for the accidental fire design case. Where additional requirements are necessary
the procedures of EN 1991-1-7:— , Annex A, apply.
4.2 Nominal fire exposure
(1) For standard fire exposure, elements shall comply with the following function defined in EN 1991-1-2
during the required time of fire exposure:
— loadbearing function: loadbearing capacity (R);
— separating function: integrity (E) and, when requested, insulation (I);
— separating and loadbearing functions: R, E and, when requested, I.
NOTE 1 The loadbearing function is assumed to be satisfied when loadbearing capacity is maintained.
NOTE 2 The separating function is assumed to be satisfied when integrity and, when requested, insulation are
maintained.
NOTE 3 Integrity is assumed to be maintained when a separating element of building construction, exposed to
fire on one side, prevents the passage through it of flames and hot gases and the occurrence of flames on the
unexposed side.
Under preparation. Stage at the time of publication: prEN 1993-1-7:2023.
SIST EN 1993-1-2:2024
NOTE 4 Insulation is assumed to be maintained when the average temperature rise over the whole of the
unexposed surface is limited to 140 K, and the maximum temperature rise at any point of that surface does not
exceed 180 K.
(2) With the hydrocarbon fire exposure curve the same loadbearing capacity (R) applies, however the
reference to this specific curve shall be identified by the letters “HC”.
4.3 Physically based fire exposure
(1) The loadbearing function shall be maintained during the complete duration of the fire, including the
cooling phase or during a required period of time according to 4.4 (4) of EN 1991-1-2:2024.

The kSIST FprEN 1993-1-2:2023 standard addresses the critical aspects of structural fire design applicable to steel structures. Its scope is focused on the rules necessary for designing such structures to withstand the adverse effects of fire exposure, thereby ensuring a reliable loadbearing function under accidental fire situations. One of the significant strengths of this standard is its clear delineation of how the design principles differ from those applied in normal temperature scenarios. This specific focus on fire exposure is essential, as it supplements the existing norms for structural integrity under typical conditions while highlighting the unique challenges posed by fire. Furthermore, the document identifies that its application is relevant for structures falling within the ambit of EN 1993-1-1, promoting coherence and compliance across multiple standards. Additionally, the standard effectively outlines the necessary assumptions and prerequisites for implementing the specified design methods.
