Fire Classification of Construction Products and Building Elements - Part 5: Classification Using Data from External Fire Exposure to Roofs Tests
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 13501-5 standard provides procedures for determining the fire performance classification of roofs and roof coverings when exposed to external fire. The classification is based on four test methods outlined in CEN/TS 1187:2012 and the applicable extended rules for each method.
To classify a roof or roof covering, only the relevant test methods and application rules need to be followed. The classification is based on the intended end-use application of the product. The standard ensures that roofs and roof coverings are assessed for their fire resistance and performance to protect buildings and occupants in case of fire. It provides a systematic approach for determining the fire performance of construction products and building elements in relation to external fire exposure to roofs.
