ISO 6940:2004 specifies a method for the measurement of ease of ignition of vertically oriented textile fabrics and industrial products in the form of single or multi-component fabrics (coated, quilted, multilayered, sandwich constructions, and similar combinations), when subjected to a small, defined flame. This method assesses the properties of textile fabrics in response to flame contact under controlled conditions.

ISO 6941:2003 specifies a method for the measurement of flame spread times of vertically oriented textile fabrics and industrial products in the form of single or multi-component fabrics (coated, quilted, multilayered, sandwich combinations, and similar combinations) when subjected to a small, defined flame.

The test described in ISO 5925-1:2007 determines the rate of leakage of ambient (cold) and medium (warm) temperature smoke from one side of door and shutter assemblies to the other, under the specified test conditions. The test is applicable to door and shutter assemblies of different configurations intended for purposes of controlling the passage of smoke in case of fire.

The acceptable leakage rates for different situations are not addressed in ISO 5925-1:2007, but rather are specified by the regulations of the controlling authorities.

The principle of the test is explained briefly.

This International Standard is one of many tools available for use in fire safety engineering. It is intended to be used in conjunction with models for analysis of the initiation and development of fire, fire spread, smoke formation and movement, chemical species generation, transport and decay, and people movement, as well as fire detection and suppression. This International Standard is to be used only within this context.

This document establishes the general principles for determining the fire resistance of various elements of construction when subjected to standard fire exposure conditions. Alternative and additional procedures to meet special requirements are given in EN 1363-2. The principle that has been embodied within all European standards relating to fire resistance testing is that where aspects and procedures of testing are common to all specific test methods e.g. the temperature/time curve, then they are specified in this test method. Where a general principle is common to many specific test methods but the details vary according to the element being tested (e.g. the measurement of unexposed face temperature), then the principle is given in this document, but the details are given in the specific test method. Where certain aspects of testing are unique to a particular specific test method (e.g. the air leakage test for fire dampers), then no details are included in this document. The test results obtained might be directly applicable to other similar elements, or variations of the element tested. The extent to which this application is permitted depends upon the field of direct application of the test result. This is restricted by the provision of rules which limit the variation from the tested specimen without further evaluation. The rules for determining the permitted variations are given in each specific test method. Variations outside those permitted by direct application are covered under extended application of test results. This results from an in-depth review of the design and performance of a particular product in test(s) by a recognized authority. Further consideration on direct and extended application is given in Annex A. The duration for which the tested element, as modified by its direct or extended field of application, satisfies specific criteria will permit subsequent classification. All values given in this document are nominal unless otherwise specified.

This document specifies a method for determining the fire resistance of air transfer grilles (ATG). It is applicable to air transfer grilles intended for installation in building components (typically walls, floors or ceilings). The orientation of the installation of the air transfer grille can be vertical or horizontal. The closing mechanism of the air transfer grille can come from expansion of material and/or from any mechanical or electrical closing device. This test method is valid for fire resistant or fire resistant and smoke control air transfer grilles. An additional test configuration is valid for fire resistant or fire resistant and smoke control air transfer grilles in applications where flame impingement is a risk during open state from start of fire (Annex A). This test method evaluates the behaviour of the air transfer grille when exposed to the standard fire curve described in EN 1363 1 and the standard pressure described in EN 1363 1. It is not the intention of this test to provide quantitative information on the rate of leakage of smoke and/or hot gases or on the transmission or generation of fumes under fire conditions. Such phenomena are only noted in describing the general behaviour of test specimens during the test. The rate of leakage of smoke at ambient temperature or at 200 °C as an optional requirement for ATG with declared smoke control will be confirmed in accordance with EN 1634 3. This test method is not valid for determining the fire resistance of air transfer grilles that are used in ducts because ATG are considered as separating elements. The test method for ATG, used in ducts is described in the corresponding duct standards. This test method is not valid for determining the fire resistance of a fire damper or a fire barrier connected to a duct on either or both sides because an ATG is tested as a fire-separating element on its own. Fire dampers are tested according to EN 1366 2. Non-mechanical fire barriers are tested according to EN 1366 12. This test method is not valid for determining the fire resistance of air transfer grilles in fire doors, shutters and openable windows as specified in EN 1634 1 and EN 1364 2, because the deformation of fire doors, shutters and openable windows in fire conditions differs from the deformation of flexible/rigid walls. Moreover, the location of thermocouples in the door standard is too specific to be handled in this document. All values given in this document are nominal unless otherwise specified.

This document specifies safety requirements, performance requirements, test methods, instructions for use and maintenance, and marking requirements for portable monitor assemblies. NOTE 1 Additional requirements for water nozzles and foam devices can be found in EN 15767-2 and EN 15767-3 respectively. NOTE 2 Fitting systems are dealt with in national standards or requirements, respectively. This document is applicable to portable monitor assemblies that can be both permanently installed (e.g. on a flange, a vehicle, a fire boat, etc.) and can also be used as portable monitor assemblies. This document can be read in conjunction with either part 2 or 3. This document is not applicable to monitors permanently installed on firefighting and rescue service vehicles, for which requirements are given in EN 1846-3 [2]. This document is not applicable to portable monitor assemblies which are manufactured before its date of publication.

In addition to the requirements given in EN 15767-1, this document is applicable to manual water nozzles, including water with fire extinguishing additives. It specifies requirements for safety, performance, classification and designation, as well as test methods, instructions for use and maintenance and marking. This document is not applicable to water nozzles that are manufactured before its date of publication.

In addition to the requirements given in EN 15767-1, this document applies to devices designed for aspirating air and projecting low expansion foam and, in some cases, inducting foam concentrate. It specifies requirements for safety, performance, classification and designation, as well as test methods, instructions for use and maintenance and marking. This document is not applicable to water nozzles that are manufactured before its date of publication.
