Fire Resistance Tests for Non-Loadbearing Elements - Part 3: Curtain Walling - Full Configuration (Complete Assembly)
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 1364-3 standard provides a method for testing the fire resistance of curtain walling systems. This standard specifically applies to Type B curtain walling systems, while Type A systems are not suitable for this type of testing.
The fire resistance of curtain walling can be determined under internal or external exposure conditions. If testing is conducted under external exposure conditions, the fire exposure curve provided in EN 1363-2 can be used, with consideration for any national regulations that may differ.
It is important to note that this standard does not cover double skin façades, over-cladding systems, or ventilated façade systems on external walls. Additionally, it does not address the reaction to fire behavior of curtain walling.
To fully understand and implement this standard, it should be read in conjunction with EN 1363-1 and EN 1363-2.
