Standard EN Sample
Extended Application of Results from Fire Resistance Tests - Non-Loadbearing Walls - Metal Sandwich Panel Construction
Also Known As:
BS EN 15254-5:2018 is a standard that sets out guidelines and procedures for the extended application of results from fire resistance tests conducted on non-loadbearing walls constructed using metal sandwich panels. The standard specifically applies to metal faced sandwich panels that have an insulating core bonded to both facings, as defined in EN 14509.
The purpose of this standard is to provide rules and guidance for variations in design parameters and factors associated with these walls, in order to ensure their performance in fire resistance. It establishes procedures for determining fire resistance classifications of the non-loadbearing walls based on the results of fire resistance tests conducted in accordance with EN 1364-1, which comply with EN 13501-2 classifications.
The standard aims to ensure the proper use and application of metal sandwich panels in constructing non-loadbearing walls, so as to provide adequate fire resistance and safety. It sets out the necessary steps to assess the performance of these walls in terms of fire resistance and to determine the appropriate classification based on test results.
