Fire resistance tests for non-loadbearing elements - Part 1: Walls

This European standard specifies a method for determining the fire resistance of non-loadbearing walls.
This European Standard is used in conjunction with EN 1363-1.
It is applicable to partitions (non-loadbearing walls) with and without glazing, non-loadbearing walls consisting almost wholly of glazing (glazed non-loadbearing walls) and other non-loadbearing internal and external non-loadbearing walls with and without glazing.
The fire resistance of external non-loadbearing walls can be determined under internal or external exposure conditions. In the latter case the external fire exposure curve given in EN 1363-2 is used.
It is not applicable to:
a) curtain walls (external non-loadbearing walls suspended in front of the floor slab), unless explicitly permitted under EN 1364-3 or EN 1364-4 which shall contain details of the methodology to be used.
b) non-loadbearing walls containing door assemblies which shall be tested to EN 1634-1.
Specific requirements relating to the testing of glazing are given in Annex A.
Specific requirements relating to the testing of non-loadbearing external and internal walls designed to span horizontally between two independently proven fire resisting vertical structural elements are given in annex B.

Feuerwiderstandsprüfungen für nichttragende Bauteile - Teil 1: Wände

Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Feuerwiderstandsdauer von nichttragenden Wänden fest.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt in Verbindung mit EN 1363-1.
Sie gilt für Trennwände (nichttragende Wände) mit und ohne Verglasung, nahezu vollständig aus Verglasung bestehende nichttragende Wände (nichttragende Glaswände) sowie sonstige nichttragende Innen- und Außenwände mit und ohne Verglasung
Die Feuerwiderstandsdauer von nichttragenden Außenwänden kann durch Beflammung von innen oder von außen bestimmt werden. Im letzteren Fall wird die in EN 1363-2 aufgeführte Außenbrandkurve angewendet.
Die Norm gilt nicht für:
a)   Vorhangfassaden (nichttragende Außenwände, die vor Decken abgehängt werden), sofern dies nicht ausdrücklich nach EN 1364-3 oder EN 1364-4, die Einzelheiten zur anzuwendenden Vorgehensweise enthält, zulässig ist.
b)   nichttragende Wände mit Türen, die nach EN 1634-1 zu prüfen sind.
Besondere Anforderungen an die Prüfung von Verglasungen sind in Angang A aufgeführt.
Besondere Anforderungen an die Prüfung nichttragender Außen  und Innenwände, die dafür vorgesehen sind, horizontal zwischen zwei vertikalen tragenden Bauteilen angeordnet zu sein, für die unabhängig voneinander Feuerwiderstand nachgewiesen wurde, sind in Angang B aufgeführt.

EN 1364-1:2015 (E) 6 Introduction The purpose of this test is to measure the ability of a representative specimen of a non-loadbearing wall to resist the spread of fire from one side to another. It is applicable to non-loadbearing walls, with and without glazing, non-loadbearing walls consisting almost wholly of glazing and other non-loadbearing internal and external non-loadbearing walls. It is not applicable to curtain walls (external non-loadbearing walls suspended in front of the floor slab), unless explicitly permitted under EN 1364-3 or EN 1364-4 which should contain details of the methodology to be used. For external fire exposure to a non-loadbearing external wall, the external fire exposure curve given in EN 1363-2 is used. CAUTION — The attention of all persons concerned with managing and carrying out this fire resistance test is drawn to the fact that fire testing may be hazardous and that there is a possibility that toxic and/or harmful smoke and gases may be evolved during the test. Mechanical and operational hazards may also arise during the construction of the test elements or structures, their testing and disposal of test residues. An assessment of all potential hazards and risks to health should be made and safety precautions should be identified and provided. Written safety instructions should be issued. Appropriate training should be given to relevant personnel. Laboratory personnel should ensure that they follow written safety instructions at all times. SIST EN 1364-1:2015



EN 1364-1:2015 (E) 7 1 Scope This European standard specifies a method for determining the fire resistance of non-loadbearing walls. This European Standard is used in conjunction with EN 1363-1. It is applicable to internal non-loadbearing walls (partitions), with and without glazing, non-loadbearing walls consisting almost wholly of glazing (glazed non-loadbearing walls) and other non-loadbearing internal and external non-loadbearing walls with and without glazing. The fire resistance of external non-loadbearing walls can be determined under internal or external exposure conditions. In the latter case the external fire exposure curve given in EN 1363-2 is used. It is not applicable to: a) curtain walls (external non-loadbearing walls suspended in front of the floor slab), unless explicitly permitted under EN 1364-3 or EN 1364-4 which contain details of the methodology to be used. b) non-loadbearing walls containing door assemblies that are tested according to EN 1634-1. Specific requirements for testing glazed elements or non-loadbearing walls incorporating glazing are given in Annex A. Specific requirements relating to the testing of non-loadbearing external and internal walls designed to span horizontally between two independently proven fire resisting vertical structural elements are given in Annex B. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

This evaluation shall be conducted in both directions of the frame and the increase of the internal dimension shall be measured. The increase in the internal dimensions of the test frame shall not exceed 5 mm with an applied force of 25 kN. In case of testing with a free edge, this requirement does not apply for the horizontal dimension. 5 Test conditions The heating and pressure conditions and the furnace atmosphere shall conform to those given in EN 1363-1 or if applicable, EN 1363-2. 6 Test specimen 6.1 Size If, in practice, the height or width of the construction is 3 m or smaller, then that dimension of the test specimen shall be tested at full size. If any dimension of the construction is greater than 3 m, then that dimension shall be tested at not less than 3 m when tested without a supporting construction or 2,8 m when tested with a supporting construction. 6.2 Number The number of test specimens shall be as given in EN 1363-1. However, where information is required under different exposure conditions or where the construction is to be evaluated with and without glazing, additional tests shall be undertaken for each situation using separate test specimens. 6.3 Design 6.3.1 General The test specimen shall be either: SIST EN 1364-1:2015



EN 1364-1:2015 (E) 10 a) fully representative of the construction intended for use in practice, including any surface finishes and fittings which are essential and may influence its behaviour in the test, or, b) be designed to obtain the widest applicability of the test result to other similar constructions. NOTE The design features which influence fire performance that should be included to give the widest application can be derived from the field of direct application, Clause 13. Guidance on testing glazed elements or non-loadbearing walls incorporating glazing is given in Annex A. Guidance on testing non-loadbearing external and internal walls designed to span horizontally between two independently proven fire resisting vertical structural elements is given in Annex B. 6.3.2 Vertical joints The test specimen shall contain as many full width boards or panels as possible. Where the test specimen can incorporate at least two full width boards or panels, the free edge shall be adjacent to a full width board or panel on the exposed face (see Figure 1, case A). When it is not possible to incorporate two full width boards or panels into the test specimen, the single full width board or panel shall be located in the centre of the specimen, with smaller boards or panels of equal width on each side. The smaller boards or panels shall not be less than 500 mm wide (see Figure 1, case B). Where the smaller boards or panels would be less than 500 mm wide, only one shall be used next to the free edge of the specimen (see Figure 1, case C). The test specimen should be designed to obtain the widest applicability of the test result when considered in conjunction with the direct and extended field of application rules. Some design features which influence fire performance that should be included can be derived from the field of direct application, Clause 13. The test specimen shall only contain a mixture of different designs providing this is representative of end use applications. If the element incorporates vertical joints in practice, then the test specimen shall incorporate a vertical joint. This joint shall be located between 350 mm and 650 mm in from the free edge and shall be on the outer layer of the unexposed face (see Figure 1, case D). If these joints are not intended to be staggered, Figure 1, case A prevails. 6.3.3 Horizontal joints If the element incorporates horizontal joints in practice, then the test specimen shall incorporate a horizontal joint. This joint shall be located between 350 mm and 650 mm in from the top edge and shall be on the outer layer on the unexposed face. NOTE
Test specimens can incorporate both horizontal and vertical joints in the same test. If large dimension boards or panels e.g. 3 m high are used in practice, then this will necessitate two tests for a 3 m x 3 m furnace: one test to evaluate the effect of joints and another to evaluate the full height board or panel. An alternative is to use a 4 m high (or more) furnace in which both the full height board or panel together with the joints at the specified locations can be incorporated in one test. 6.3.4 Restraint The edges shall be restrained as in practice. When the width of the element in practice is larger than the front opening of the furnace, one vertical edge shall be left unrestrained and there shall be a gap of 25 mm to 50 mm between the free edge of the test specimen and the test frame. This gap shall be packed with a resilient non-combustible material, e.g. mineral fibre, to provide a seal without restricting freedom of movement. SIST EN 1364-1:2015



EN 1364-1:2015 (E) 11 Any construction including any sealing of the free edge shall respect the following principles: a)
prevent as far as possible the leakage of hot gases from the furnace into the test specimen; b)
prevent as far as possible the leakage of gasses out of the test specimen; c)
have as minimal effect as possible on the deformations of the test specimen; d)
have as minimal effect as possible on the insulation rating of the test specimen. 6.4 Construction The test specimen shall be constructed as described in EN 1363-1. 6.5 Verification Verification of the test specimen shall be carried out as described in EN 1363-1. 7 Installation of test specimen 7.1 General The test specimen shall be installed in the test frame and, if used, the supporting construction, as in practice. The whole area of the test construction shall be exposed to the heating conditions. 7.2 Supporting construction If the size of the test specimen
