EN 13501-2 Fire Classification of Building Materials and Structural Elements - Part 2: Classification Using Data from Fire Resistance Tests, Excluding Ventilation Services

In the EN 13501-2 standard, which is a European standard, classification criteria are explained using data obtained from fire resistance tests of building materials and building elements, excluding ventilation services.

This standard provides a procedure for the classification of building materials and structural elements using data from fire resistance and smoke leakage tests within the direct area of ​​application of the relevant test method. Classification on the basis of the extended application of test results falls within the scope of this standard.

The EN 13501-2 standard relates to the following materials:

• Load-bearing elements without fire separation function: walls, floors, roofs, beams, columns, balconies, walkways and stairs.
• Load-bearing elements, services and fixtures with or without glazing, with fire separation function: walls, floors, roofs and raised floors.
• Products and systems for protecting elements or parts of works: ceilings without independent fire resistance, fire protection coatings and screens.
• Non-load-bearing elements or workpieces, services and fixtures, with or without glass: partitions, facades (curtain walls) and exterior walls, freestanding fire-rated ceilings, raised floors, fire doors, shutters and their closures, smoke control doors, conveyor systems, and covers, penetration seals, linear gap seals, service channels and shafts, and chimneys.
• Wall and ceiling coverings with fire protection feature.
• Elevator landing doors tested according to EN 81-58 standard are out of the scope of this standard. Elevator landing doors tested according to EN 1634-1 standard are classified according to this standard.

The relevant test methods prepared for these elements are included in the standard.

In short, the EN 13501-2 standard contains details for classifying building products and building elements.

Among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it has given for businesses in various sectors, our organization, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment, has obtained the fire resistance tests of building materials and building elements, excluding ventilation services, within the scope of EN 13501-2 standard. It also provides classification services using data.
