EN 13823 Tests for Response to Fire for Building Products - Building Products Except Slabs Exposed to Thermal Attack by a Single Combustion Element

The EN 13823 standard, a European standard, includes a test method to determine the reaction to fire performance of construction products when exposed to thermal attack by a single burning item, excluding floors and products specified in the European Union Commission authorization regulation 2016/364. Regarding this test method, calculation procedures (Annex A), information on the precision of the test method (Annex B) and calibration procedures (Annex C and D) are included in the annexes to the standard in question.

The EN 13823 standard is mainly designed to determine the response to fire performance of flat products. Some product families, such as pipes, ducts, cables and similar linear products, may require special rules.

Test processes in the implementation of the standard are discussed under the following headings:

• General
• Test room
• Materials
• Tester
• smoke exhaust system
• General measuring section equipment
• Other general equipment

For anyone involved in administering and conducting the tests contained in this standard, fire tests are dangerous and produce toxic and harmful fumes and gases during testing. Therefore, before starting the tests, an assessment of all potential hazards and risks to health should be made and safety precautions should be taken.

Most construction products sold in European Union countries must be tested and classified using a test method described in the EN 13823 standard. The traditional regulatory methods used in each country to classify most construction products are being replaced by this test method.

This test method is a test method applied to determine the fire response behavior of building products when subjected to thermal attack by a single burning element (a propane-supplied sandbox burner).

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, provides fire reaction test testing for building products, excluding floors, which are exposed to thermal attack by a single burning item within the scope of EN 13823 standard. also provides services.
