EN 13772:2011 (E) 3 Foreword This document (EN 13772:2011) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 248 “Textiles and textile products”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by July 2011, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by July 2011. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 13772:2003. The main differences between this standard and the previous version are:  all three marker threads shall be used;  tolerances for the position of the electric radiator and for the tension of the marker threads have been introduced;  the metal grid below the specimen has been defined more precisely;  major adjustments to the cleansing procedure. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

EN 13772:2011 (E) 4 Introduction In order to assess the burning behaviour of curtains and drapes two test methods were established, i.e.
EN 1101 for the measurement of ignitability (based on EN ISO 6940) and EN 1102 for the measurement of flame spread (based on EN ISO 6941). EN ISO 6941 measures the flame spread of vertically oriented specimens exposed to a defined small flame. This allows the flame spread properties of ignitable products to be determined. Nevertheless this test method is not suitable to assess products that do not ignite. The measurement of the length or area destroyed by the small flame is questionable as shown by round robin testing. There is a risk that products which pass the small flame test, can still be ignited with a larger ignition source. The equipment used in EN ISO 6941 has therefore been modified by adding a radiator, which radiates on the lower part of the specimen in order to boost locally and temporarily the ignition of the specimen. The combination of this radiation and the small flame application simulates the action from a larger flaming source. With this combined ignition source some materials, not ignitable with the small flame, may ignite. Some of these will self extinguish, when the action from the ignition source has ceased, while others will self-propagate. For this purpose, a European research project (CT 96-2057) was set up to establish a small scale test method for assessing the burning behaviour of curtains and drapes using a large ignition source. Reaction to fire parameters like smoke development, heat release and toxic components were not taken into account. The project involved eleven laboratories from nine European countries.
In order to select the relevant characteristics of burning behaviour in terms of classification and to assess the repeatability and reproducibility, 15 samples of commercially available fabrics representative for the main product groups on the market were tested with the large ignition source test method. Most of them had a flame retardant treatment or coating. The material selection included standard and fire retardant polyester, cotton, modacryl, wool, chlorofibre and glass fibre and represented different structures and fibre blends. The occurrence of flaming debris, the severance of marker threads and the time to sever marker threads (first and third threads) were selected as representative parameter to assess the burning behaviour of the samples. Other burning behaviour characteristics such as after-flame and after-glow times did not bring any extra relevant information and were discarded.
An inter-laboratory test was conducted in 1997 with ten laboratories, each testing 15 materials. Repeatability and reproducibility were assessed through statistical analysis. Consequently, some improvements were introduced in the method. Good agreement was also found with national test methods in use in various European countries or regions (France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy, Scandinavia and the United Kingdom).
