EN 13501 Fire classification of construction products and building elements.
BS EN 13501-4:2007 Fire classification of construction products and building elements. Classification using data from fire resistance tests on components of smoke control systems
This European Standard provides the reaction to fire classification procedure for all construction products,
including products incorporated within building elements.
Products are considered in relation to their end use application.
This document applies to three categories, which are treated separately in this European Standard:
construction products, excluding floorings and linear pipe thermal insulation products;
floorings;
linear pipe thermal insulation products.
NOTE The treatment of some families of products is still under review and can necessitate amendments to
this European Standard (see European Commission Decision 2000/147/EC).
BS EN 13501-2:2003 Fire classification of construction products and building elements. Classification using data from fire resistance tests, excluding ventilation services
This Part of this European Standard specifies the procedure for classification of construction products and building
elements using data from fire resistance and smoke leakage tests which are within the direct field of application of
the relevant test method. This part of this European Standard currently cannot be applied to classify curtain walling
for resistance to fire. Classification on the basis of extended application is outside the scope of this standard. For
extended application, however, the same classes are used as specified in this standard.
This standard deals with:
a) Loadbearing elements without a fire separating function
walls
floors
roofs
beams
columns
balconies
walkways
stairs
b) Loadbearing elements with a fire separating function, with or without glazing, services and fixtures
walls
floors
roofs
raised floors
c) Products and systems for protecting elements or parts of the works
ceilings with no independent fire resistance
fire protective coatings, claddings and screens
d) Non-loadbearing elements or parts of works, with or without glazing, services and fixtures
partitions
facades (curtain walls) and external walls
ceilings with independent fire resistance
fire doors and shutters and their closing devices
smoke control doors
conveyor systems and their closures
penetration seals
linear joint seals
service ducts and shafts
chimneys
e) Wall and ceiling coverings with fire protection ability
f) Lift landing doors which are tested to prEN 81-8 are excluded from this standard. Lift landing doors which are
tested to EN 1634-1 are classified in accordance with 7.5.5.
Relevant test methods which have been prepared for these elements are listed in clause 2.
BS EN 13501-3:2005 Fire classification of construction products and building elements. Classification using data from fire resistance tests on products and elements used in building service installations: fire resisting ducts and fire dampers
This European Standard specifies the procedure for classification of the resistance to fire performance of
construction products and building elements used as components of building service installations, using data
from fire resistance tests which are within the direct field of application of the relevant test method.
Classification on the basis of extended application is outside the scope of this European Standard. For
extended applications, however, the same classes need to be used as specified in this European Standard.
Products/elements for use in ventilation systems include (excluding smoke and heat exhaust ventilation):
⎯ fire resisting ducts;
⎯ fire dampers.
Relevant test methods which have been prepared for these products/elements are listed in Clause 2.
BS EN 13501-4:2007 Fire classification of construction products and building elements. Classification using data from fire resistance tests on components of smoke control systems
This European Standard specifies the procedure for classification of components of smoke control
systems, using data from fire resistance tests which are within the field of application of the relevant
test methods. Classification on the basis of extended application is not within the scope of this
European Standard, however for extended application the same classes are used as specified in this
European Standard.
Products covered by this European Standard are:
smoke control ducts;
smoke control dampers;
smoke barriers;
powered smoke and heat exhaust ventilators (fans), including connectors;
natural smoke and heat exhaust ventilators.
Relevant documents which include the relevant test methods which have been prepared for these
products are listed in Clause 2.
BS EN 13501-5:2005 Fire classification of construction products and building elements. Classification using data from external fire exposure to roofs tests
This European Standard provides the fire performance classification procedures for roofs/roof coverings exposed to external fire based on the four test methods given in ENV 1187:2002 and the relevant extended application rules.
For the classification of a roof/roof covering, only those test methods and those application rules need to be applied for which the corresponding classification is envisaged.
Products are considered in relation to their end use application.
NOTE The distinction between roofs with a steep slope and facades, in terms of the test and classification standard to be applied, may be subject to national regulations.
General information on the four test methods in ENV 1187:2002 is given in Annex A.
Dear friends, some of these standards have new annexes, if anybody has it - please, share them.
