BS EN 15269-11:2018 PDF Download

The BS EN 15269-11:2018 standard addresses the fire resistance and smoke control requirements for operable fabric curtain assemblies. These assemblies are different from door systems as they have closure elements made of thin walled materials such as fabrics and foils that cannot carry significant loads normal to their surface. The standard establishes the methodology for extending the application of test results obtained from tests conducted in accordance with the EN 1634-1 test method for shutters. It provides guidelines for various aspects of the curtain system, including classifications (uninsulated, radiation, or insulated), coiling mechanisms, wall/ceiling fixed elements, building hardware, decorative finishes, seals (intumescent, draught, or acoustic), and alternative supporting constructions. The standard aims to ensure that operable fabric curtain assemblies meet the necessary fire resistance and smoke control requirements.
