Fire resistance and smoke control tests for door and shutter assemblies, openable windows and elements of building hardware - Part 1: Fire resistance test for door and shutter assemblies and openable windows

 Fire resistance and smoke control tests for door and shutter assemblies, openable windows and elements of building hardware - Part 1: Fire resistance test for door and shutter assemblies and openable windows

This European Standard specifies a method for determining the fire resistance of door and shutter assemblies and openable windows designed for installation within openings incorporated in vertical separating elements, such as:

a) hinged and pivoted doors;

b) horizontally sliding and vertically sliding doors including articulated sliding doors and sectional doors;

c) folding doors, sliding folding doors /shutters;

d) tilting doors;

e) rolling shutter doors;

f) openable windows;

g) operable fabric curtains.

This European Standard is used in conjunction with EN 1363-1.

The testing of fire dampers is covered by EN 1366-2.

The testing of closures for conveyor systems is covered by EN 1366-7

 By prior agreement with the test sponsor, additional information may be gained for individual elements of building hardware in order to fulfil the performance criteria identified in EN 1634-2.  Based on the observations recorded during the test, the results may be presented in a separate report which should be in accordance with the requirements of EN 1634-2.
