Extended Application of Results from Fire Resistance Tests - Non-Loadbearing Ceilings - Part 7: Metal Sandwich Panel Construction
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 15254-7 standard provides guidelines and procedures for using the results of fire resistance tests conducted on metal faced sandwich panels. Specifically, this standard focuses on internal non-loadbearing ceilings constructed using self-supporting, double skin metal faced sandwich panels with an insulating core.
The purpose of this standard is to ensure that the tested fire resistance of these metal sandwich panels can be confidently applied to a wider range of applications, by allowing variations in design parameters and factors. By following the rules and guidance specified in this standard, designers and builders can have confidence in the fire resistance performance of these ceilings.
It is important to note that the metal faced sandwich panels must be tested in accordance with EN 1364-2, which is the European standard for fire resistance tests of non-loadbearing elements. Only those panels that have been tested in accordance with EN 1364-2 can be considered for use in accordance with the guidelines provided in DIN EN 15254-7.
