This document specifies a method for determining the ability of a covering to protect underlying materials against damage during a specified fire exposure. The document is not used for the evaluation of fire resistance classifications (e.g. EI, EW, E,…) or reaction to fire classifications (according to EN 13501 1). The fire protection ability is nullified by the presence of combustible materials in the cavity behind the covering. The applicability of the results is limited according to the quantity and position of such combustible materials within that cavity. NOTE The amount of combustible materials permissible in the cavity is generally laid down in national regulations.

(1) EN 1994-1-2 gives rules for the design of steel-concrete composite structures for the accidental design situation of fire exposure. It only identifies differences from, or supplements to, rules for normal temperature design. (2) EN 1994-1-2 only applies to structures, or parts of structures, that are within the scope of EN1994-1-1 and are designed accordingly.

 I detta dokument anges krav och ger rekommendationer för brandtekniska bedömningar av byggprodukter som inte omfattas av harmoniserade europeiska produktstandarder (hEN) eller europeiska bedömningsdökument (EAD). Detta dokument ar tillampbart för namnda byggprodukter vid de tillfallen da artikel 5 i Byggpröduktförördningen aberöpas och da prestandadeklaration inte upprattas och ingen CE-markning sker.

This part of the EN 1366 series specifies a method of test and criteria for the evaluation (including field of direct application rules) of the ability of a partial penetration seal to maintain the fire resistance of a separating element at the position at which it has been penetrated by a device or devices that passes through one face of the element only. Partial penetration seals are used to seal apertures for electrical sockets, downlighters, media devices, cables and any item which requires an opening to be made in one face of the element of construction but does not include a device which passes through both faces. Supporting constructions are used in this part of the EN 1366 series to represent separating elements such as walls or floors. These simulate the interaction between the test specimen and the separating element into which the sealing system is to be installed in practice. This part of the EN 1366 series is used in conjunction with EN 1363 1. The purpose of a test described in this part of the EN 1366 series is to assess the integrity and insulation performance of the partial penetration seal, of the penetrating service(s) or device(s) and of the separating element in the surrounding area of the partial penetration seal. Where partial penetration seals are installed in ceilings and floors, the loadbearing capacity shall also be considered. No information can be implied by the test concerning the influence of the inclusion of such penetrations and penetration seals on the loadbearing capacity of walls. 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. Such phenomena are only to be noted in the test report in describing the general behaviour of test specimens during the test. Tests in accordance with this part of the EN 1366 series are not intended to supply any information on the ability of the partial penetration seal to withstand stress caused by movements or displacements of the penetrating devices. The risk of spread of fire downwards cannot be assessed with this test. Tests in accordance with this part of the EN 1366 series do not address any risks associated with leakage of dangerous liquids or gases caused by failure of the device in case of fire.

This European Standard specifies the categories of flammable materials which are prohibited in all toys, and requirements concerning flammability of certain toys when they are subjected to a small source of ignition.

The test methods described in Clause 5 are used for the purposes of determining the flammability of toys under the particular test conditions specified. The test results thus obtained cannot be considered as providing an overall indication of the potential fire hazard of toys or materials when subjected to other sources of ignition. This European Standard includes general requirements relating to all toys and specific requirements and methods of test relating to the following toys, which are considered as being those presenting the greatest hazard:

- toys to be worn on the head: beards, moustaches, wigs, etc. made from hair, pile or material with similar features; masks; hoods, head-dresses, etc.; flowing elements of toys to be worn on the head, but excluding paper novelty hats of the type usually supplied in party crackers;

- toy disguise costumes and toys intended to be worn by a child in play;

- toys intended to be entered by a child;

- soft-filled toys. NOTE Additional requirements for flammability of electric toys are specified in EN 62115.
