Fire Resistance Tests for Loadbearing Elements - Part 2: Floors and Roofs
Also Known As:
DIN EN 1365-2 is a European standard that provides a method for testing the fire resistance of loadbearing floors and roofs. This standard applies to both solid floor constructions and those with unventilated cavities. It also covers roof constructions, with or without cavities that are either ventilated or unventilated. The standard includes floor and roof constructions that utilize glazing and testing is conducted by subjecting the structure to fire from the underside.
EN 1365-2 is part of a set of standards that provide fire resistance testing methods for various loadbearing elements. It specifies the requirements, equipment, and procedures to determine the resistance of loadbearing floor and roof constructions to fire exposure. The aim of the standard is to ensure that the structure retains its loadbearing capacity and integrity during and after fire exposure.
This standard is used in conjunction with EN 1363-1, which specifies a general testing method for fire resistance of various building elements. It is important to note that the test results achieved for fire resistance may not be wholly indicative of actual fire performance in real-life situations where numerous factors can influence structural fire performance.
