This document describes test methods and methods for classification of wood and wood-based products for which a stage in the production process results in an improvement of the reaction-to-fire classification in accordance with EN 13501-1 for use in interior and exterior situations (use classes 1, 2, and 3 as defined in EN 335:2013). NOTE The classes of this document are not performance classes and do not give guidance for how long the reaction to fire classification of wood or wood-based product will last. This document applies to - wood and wood-based products (specific wood species, wood treated with preservatives and modified wood, for example thermally and chemically modified wood) that have been treated with fire-retardant chemical(s) applied either by a penetrating process or by a superficial process, such as with a film forming fire-retardant coating. - wood-based products that incorporate fire retardant chemical(s) as part of the production process. This document also covers fire-retardant wood and wood-based products that have a non-fire-retardant coating. Mechanical properties, aesthetic properties, dimensional stability properties, service life and biological durability of fire-retardant wood and wood-based products are not covered by this document. NOTE 2 This document is relevant for, but not limited to, products covered by these products standards: EN 13986, EN 14081-1, EN14374, EN 14915 and EN 16351. NOTE 3 EAD 350865-00-1106 covers fire retardant products (coating) applied in situ.

This document applies to test methods designed to be used at the place of installation of the AEA, usually a laboratory and for various laboratory applications that require local extraction. They are used for commissioning after installation, for maintenance and for qualification purposes. For certain customer requirements additional or modified test methods can be necessary. This document includes product functional performance referring to product standard detailed in EN 16589-1. Occupational health and safety assessments methods are not included in this document. This document does not consider performance requirements for the extract air system associated with the AEA installation and therefore extract system performance is not part of the scope. This document does not confirm or establish a capture zone of an AEA capture device only the functional extract capacity and mechanical functions of the AEA.
