This document gives precisions on the mounting and fixing rules for testing glass products and provides guidance. Where appropriate, it defines procedures for extended application of test results obtained in accordance with EN ISO 1716, EN ISO 11925 2, EN ISO 1182 and EN 13823 and classified according to EN 13501 1. NOTE Some glass products have been classified A1 according to Commission decision 96/603/EC. This document is not applicable to laminated glass comprising plastic glazing sheet material. This document is not applicable to joints and cables, glues, mounting seals and any fixing devices used to install the glass product.

This document covers hinged and pivoted steel (any kind) and aluminium based framed, glazed doorsets or openable windows. Throughout this document, the term "doorset" will be used to cover both doorsets and door assemblies. It prescribes the methodology for extending the application of test results obtained from fire resistance test(s) conducted in accordance with EN 1634-1. Subject to the completion of the appropriate test or tests selected from those identified in Clause 4, the extended application can cover all or some of the following examples: - integrity (E), integrity & radiation (EW) or integrity & insulation (EI1 or EI2) classification, - glazed elements including vision panels and framed glazed doorsets, - air transfer grilles (louvres and/or vents), - side, transom or over panels, - items of building hardware, - decorative and protective finishes, - intumescent seals and non-intumescent (smoke, draught or acoustic) seals, - alternative supporting construction(s). This document does not cover horizontal doorsets. The effect on the Classification ‘C’ for the doorsets following an extended application process is not addressed in this document.

This document specifies requirements and gives recommendations for the design, installation, inspection and maintenance of all types of fixed land based water mist systems. This document is intended to apply to water mist automatic nozzle systems and water mist deluge systems supplied by stand alone or pumped systems. The document covers only applications and occupancies which are covered by the fire test protocols of the EN 14972 series. Aspects of water mist associated with explosion protection and/or use within vehicles are not covered by this document. This document does not cover all legislative requirements. In certain countries specific national regulations apply and take precedence over this document. Users of this document are advised to inform themselves of the applicability or non-applicability for this document by their national responsible authorities.

This document specifies the evaluation of the fire performance of water mist systems for wet benches and other similar processing equipment.

This document specifies the requirements and describes the test methods for check valves for water mist firefighting systems. Check valves allow the passage in the direction of flow and they prevent flow in the reverse direction. This document is applicable to check valves installed in the pipework of water mist firefighting systems.

This standard will specify a large-scale fire test method for measuring the heat release rates (HRR) and the smoke-production rates (SPR) of wall systems. The fire scenario covered in this document is representative of severe fires originating in near wall or corner locations of an exterior or interior wall construction. Severe fire exposure to wall systems, on the order of 100 kW/m2 heat flux, are targeted in this test method. For this standard, the test setup is placed under an ISO 24473 compliant large-scale calorimeter of a minimum 3.5 MW chemical HRR capacity. An existing large-scale fire test, viz. the 16-ft parallel panel test (16-ft PPT) of the consensus ASNI/FM 4880 standard, is submitted to be used as the basis of the proposed ISO standard. The test method is not applicable for scenarios where a fire initiates within an air cavity, if present, of an exterior wall system. The test method does not incorporate a window structure and hence cannot cover the hazard from inadequately protected window openings in a post-flashover fire scenario.

This document specifies a procedure, at temperatures up to 100 °C, to determine whether a liquid product, that would be classified as “flammable” by virtue of its flash point, sustains combustion at the temperature(s) specified e.g. in regulations. NOTE      Many national and international regulations classify liquids as presenting a flammable hazard based on their flash point, as determined by a recognized method. Some of these regulations allow a derogation if the substance cannot “sustain combustion” at some specified temperature(s). The procedure is applicable to paints (including water-borne paints), varnishes, paint binders, solvents, petroleum or related products and adhesives, that have a flash point. It is not applicable to painted surfaces in respect of assessing their potential fire hazards. This test method is applicable, in addition to test methods for flash point, for assessing the fire hazard of a product.
