Test Methods for Determining the Contribution to the Fire Resistance of Structural Members - Part 7: Applied Protection to Timber Members
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 13381-7 standard focuses on providing methods for evaluating the effectiveness of fire protection systems applied to timber structures. These systems can include claddings, sprayed fire protection, and reactive coatings. The standard outlines the testing procedures that should be followed to assess how these fire protection systems contribute to the fire resistance of structural timber members such as floors, roofs, walls, beams, and columns.
The test method specified in this standard evaluates the ability of the fire protection system to delay temperature rise throughout the timber member, to remain coherent and fixed to the timber member at a specified thickness, and to determine the charring rate of the protected test member when exposed to the standard temperature/time curve defined in the standard. It also emphasizes that the standard does not provide classification for the tested assembly according to EN 13501-2.
