This document covers the following aspects of fire testing of plastics materials and products: -

— Selection of appropriate tests that reflect realistic end-use conditions

— Grouping of the reaction-to-fire characteristics that any given test or tests can measure

— Assessment of tests as to their relevance in areas such as material characterisation, quality control, preselection,

end-product testing, environmental profiling and DfE (Design for the Environment)

— Definition of potential problems that may arise when plastics are tested in standard fire tests

This document does not include specification for development or design of new fire-tests for plastics.

However, the flexibility of approach that is indicated with respect to the mounting and fixing of test

specimens is valuable when fire testing laboratories and certification bodies are considering how to evaluate

ranges of plastics that are used in different ways.

This European Standard specifies requirements and gives recommendations for the design, installation and maintenance of fixed fire sprinkler systems in buildings and industrial plants, and particular requirements for sprinkler systems that are integral to measures for the protection of life.

This European Standard covers only the types of sprinkler specified in EN 12259 1 (see Annex L).

The requirements and recommendations of this European Standard are also applicable to any addition, extension, repair or other modification to a sprinkler system. They are not applicable to water spray or deluge systems.

It covers the classification of hazards, provision of water supplies, components to be used, installation and testing of the system, maintenance, and the extension of existing systems, and identifies construction details of buildings which are the minimum necessary for satisfactory performance of sprinkler systems complying with this European Standard.

This European Standard does not cover water supplies to systems other than sprinklers. Its requirements can be used as guidance for other fixed firefighting extinguishing systems, provided that any specific requirements for other firefighting extinguishing supplies are taken into account.

This European Standard is intended for use by those concerned with purchasing, designing, installing, testing, inspecting, approving, operating and maintaining automatic sprinkler systems, in order that such equipment will function as intended throughout its life.

This European Standard is intended only for fixed fire sprinkler systems in buildings and other premises on land. Although the general principles might well apply to other uses (e.g. maritime use). For these other uses additional considerations should be taken into account.

The requirements are not valid for automatic sprinkler systems on ships, in aircraft, on vehicles and mobile fire appliances or for below ground systems in the mining industry.

Sprinkler system design deviations might be allowed when such deviations have been shown to provide a level of protection at least equivalent to this European Standard, for example by means of full-scale fire testing where appropriate, and where the design criteria have been fully documented.

ISO 13785-1:2002 specifies a screening method for determining the reaction to fire of materials and constructions of façades or claddings when exposed to heat from a simulated external fire with flames impinging directly upon a façade. It is intended for use by producers to reduce the burden of testing in ISO 13785-2:2002 by eliminating those systems that fail the tests described in ISO 13785-1:2002.

The test method consists of observing the behaviour of the façade panel construction to fire and the resulting flame spread on or within the façade construction.

This test method is applicable only to façades and claddings that are not free standing and that are used by adding to an existing external wall.

This test method also is applicable only to vertical elements and is not applicable to determining the structural strength of the façade or cladding.
