Fire Classification of Construction Products and Building Elements: Classification using Data from External Fire Exposure to Roofs Tests
Also Known As:
The BS EN 13501-5:2016 standard provides a framework for assessing the fire performance of roofs and roof coverings exposed to external fire. It utilizes the four test methods outlined in CEN/TS 1187:2012 and the corresponding extended application rules.
The standard emphasizes that when classifying a roof/roof covering, only the applicable test methods and application rules need to be used. The classification is based on the intended end-use application of the product. However, it is important to note that the distinction between roofs with a steep slope and facades may be subject to national regulations, which could impact the test and classification standard to be applied.
Additional information on the four test methods outlined in CEN/TS 1187 is provided in Annex A of the standard. This information serves as a general guide for understanding the test procedures and their application in the classification process.
