BS 8414 Fire Performance of External Cladding Systems

ir_71 · (This post was last modified: 12-23-2010, 06:50 AM by ir_71.)

This part of BS 8414 has been produced to provide a test method for assessing the fire performance of:

non-load-bearing external cladding systems
rainscreen overcladding systems
external wall insulation systems at full-scale when applied to the face of a building and exposed to an external fire under controlled conditions.
The fire exposure conditions have been developed to be representative of an external fire source or a fully-developed (post-flashover) fire in a room, venting through an opening such as a window aperture that exposes the cladding to the effects of external flames.

BS 8414-2:2005 Fire performance of external cladding systems. Test method for non-loadbearing external cladding systems fixed to and supported by a structural steel frame

This British Standard provides a test method for assessing the behaviour of non-loadbearing external cladding systems, such as curtain walling, glazed elements, infill panels and insulated composite panels, fixed to and supported by a structural steel frame when exposed to a fully-developed (post-flashover) fire in a room, venting through an opening such as a window aperture that exposes the cladding to the effects of external flames, or from an external fire source.
This method of test does not apply to non-loadbearing external rainscreen overcladding systems or external wall insulation systems applied to the face of a building, the fire testing of which are covered in
BS 8414-1. This test does not cover exposure to radiant heat from a fire in an adjacent building.
