Fire Resistance Tests for Non-Loadbearing Elements - Part 1: Walls
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 1364-1 standard specifies the testing method for determining the fire resistance of non-loadbearing walls. This standard is used in conjunction with EN 1363-1 and is applicable to various types of internal and external non-loadbearing walls. It covers partitions with and without glazing, glazed non-loadbearing walls consisting mostly of glass, and other non-loadbearing walls with or without glazing.
The standard allows for the determination of the fire resistance of external non-loadbearing walls under both internal and external exposure conditions. In the case of external exposure, the external fire exposure curve provided in EN 1363-2 is utilized. However, the standard does not apply to curtain walls, unless they are explicitly allowed under EN 1364-3 or EN 1364-4, which provide specific details on the testing methodology for curtain walls.
Furthermore, the standard excludes non-loadbearing walls that contain door assemblies that are tested according to EN 1634-1. Specific requirements for testing glazed elements or non-loadbearing walls incorporating glazing are outlined in Annex A. Annex B provides specific requirements for testing non-loadbearing walls that are designed to span horizontally between two independently proven fire-resisting vertical structural elements.
