This document specifies a method for determining the fire resistance of air transfer grilles (ATG).
It is applicable to air transfer grilles intended for installation in building components (typically walls, floors or ceilings). The orientation of the installation of the air transfer grille can be vertical or horizontal.
The closing mechanism of the air transfer grille can come from expansion of material and/or from any mechanical or electrical closing device.
This document is applicable to fire resistant or fire resistant and smoke control air transfer grilles.
An additional test configuration is valid for fire resistant or fire resistant and smoke control air transfer grilles in applications where flame impingement is a risk during open state from start of fire (see Annex A).
This document evaluates the behaviour of the air transfer grille when exposed to the heating curve described in EN 1363 1 and the standard pressure described in EN 1363 1. It is not the intention of this test to provide quantitative information on the rate of leakage of smoke and/or hot gases or on the transmission or generation of fumes under fire conditions. Such phenomena are only noted in describing the general behaviour of test specimens during the test.
The determination of the rate of leakage of smoke at ambient temperature or at 200 °C as an optional requirement for ATG with declared smoke control is specified in EN 1634 3.
This document is not applicable to the determination of the fire resistance of air transfer grilles that are used in ducts because ATG are considered as separating elements. The test method for ATG used in ducts is described in the corresponding duct standards.
This document is not applicable to the determination of the fire resistance of a fire damper or a fire barrier connected to a duct one or both sides, as an ATG is tested as a fire-separating element on its own. Fire dampers are tested according to EN 1366 2. Non-mechanical fire barriers are tested according to EN 1366 12.
This document is not applicable to the determination of the fire resistance of air transfer grilles in fire doors, shutters and openable windows as specified in EN 1634 1 and EN 1364 2, because the deformation of fire doors, shutters and openable windows in fire conditions differs from the deformation of flexible/rigid walls. Moreover, the location of thermocouples in the door standard is too specific to be handled in this document.
All values given in this document are nominal unless otherwise specified.

This document describes the test and assessment procedure for determining the contribution of reactive fire protection systems to the fire resistance of solid steel bars used as tension members, when exposed to the standard temperature/time curve specified in EN 1363-1. In special circumstances, where specified in National Building Regulations, there can be a need to subject reactive fire protection systems to a slow heating curve (smouldering fire) as defined in EN 1363-2. The corresponding test and assessment procedure are described in Annex E. The fire protection performance is determined by testing mechanically loaded steel bars in horizontal orientation. Information regarding the testing of additional unloaded specimens is given to assess the influence of the bar orientation and smouldering fire behaviour.
The principles of the testing and assessment procedure can also be applied for other section shapes such as angles, channels and flats. This document does not include steel bars used as reinforcement in concrete construction.
The document is applicable to steel bars up to a maximum diameter of 130 mm. In the case of rectangular bars, the maximum edge length shall be limited to 130 mm with a maximum aspect ratio of 2:1 against the shorter edge length.
The test programme and the assessment are designed to cover:
- a range of valid fire protection classification periods;
- a range of thickness of the applied reactive fire protection system;
- a range of steel bar dimensions and profiles;
- a range of specified design temperatures;
- a range of load utilisation factors in case of fire;
- a range of bar orientation.
This document also provides the assessment procedure, which prescribes how the analysis of the test data shall be made and gives guidance on the procedures by which interpolation shall be undertaken. The assessment procedure is used to establish:
a) on the basis of data derived from mechanically loaded testing steel bar, any practical constraints on the use of the reactive fire protection system under fire test conditions (the physical performance);
b) on the basis of the temperature data derived from testing steel bar the thermal properties of the reactive fire protection system (the thermal performance).
The limits of applicability of the results of the assessment arising from the fire test are defined together with permitted direct application of the results to different steel types and sizes over the range of thicknesses of the applied reactive fire protection system tested.

This part of the EN 1366 series specifies a method of test and criteria for the evaluation (including field of direct application rules) of the ability of a penetration seal to maintain the fire resistance of a separating element at the position at which it has been penetrated by a service or services. Penetration seals used to seal gaps around chimneys, air ventilation systems, fire rated ventilation ducts, fire rated service ducts, shafts and smoke extraction ducts as well as combined penetration seals are excluded from this part of the EN 1366 series.
NOTE EN 15882-5 [6] deals with penetration seals including ducts and dampers.
Supporting constructions are used in this part of the EN 1366 series to represent separating elements such as walls or floors. These simulate the interaction between the test specimen and the separating element into which the sealing system is to be installed in practice.
This part of the EN 1366 series is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 1363 1.
The purpose of a test described in this part of the EN 1366 series is to assess the integrity and insulation performance of the penetration seal, of the penetrating service or services and of the separating element in the surrounding area of the penetration seal.
No information can be implied by the test concerning the influence of the inclusion of such penetrations and penetration seals on the loadbearing capacity of the separating element.
It is assumed that in each case the lintel above a penetration seal in the wall is designed in hot and cold state in a way that it does not apply any additional vertical load on the penetration seal.
It is not the intention of this test to provide quantitative information on the rate of leakage of smoke and/or hot gases or on the transmission or generation of fumes. Such phenomena are only noted in the test report in describing the general behaviour of test specimens during the test.
Tests in accordance with this part of the EN 1366 series are not intended to supply any information on the ability of the penetration seal to withstand stress caused by movements or displacements of the penetrating services.
The risk of spread of fire downwards caused by burning material, which drips e.g. through a pipe downwards to floors below, is at present excluded from this document.
Tests in accordance with this part of the EN 1366 series do not address any risks associated with leakage of dangerous liquids or gases caused by failure of pipes in case of fire.
Tests in accordance with this part of the EN 1366 series of pipe penetration seals for pipes of pneumatic dispatch systems, pressurized air systems, etc. simulate a situation where the systems are shut off in case of fire.

This document specifies the procedures to be followed for determining the fire resistance of columns when tested on their own. Two methods of testing are described: — Method A, which is applicable to any type of column and in which the test is conducted with an applied axial load to the column; and — Method B, which is only applicable to protected steel columns with any type of protection system and in which the test is conducted with no load applied to the column and the fire resistance is determined based on steel temperature limits. Method B is only applicable to protection systems that do not support any of the structural load. (See A.6). The application of this test to other untested forms of construction is acceptable when the construction conforms to the direct field of application as given in Annex B of this document, or when subjected to an extended application analysis in accordance with ISO/TR 12470 (series)[ REF Reference_ref_3 \r \h 1 08D0C9EA79F9BACE118C8200AA004BA90B0200000008000000100000005200650066006500720065006E00630065005F007200650066005F0033000000 ].

This part of the EN 1366 series specifies a method of test and criteria for the evaluation (including field of direct application rules) of the ability of a penetration seal to maintain the fire resistance of a separating element at the position at which it has been penetrated by a service or services. Penetration seals used to seal gaps around chimneys, air ventilation systems, fire rated ventilation ducts, fire rated service ducts, shafts and smoke extraction ducts as well as combined penetration seals are excluded from this part of the EN 1366 series.
NOTE EN 15882-5 [6] deals with penetration seals including ducts and dampers.
Supporting constructions are used in this part of the EN 1366 series to represent separating elements such as walls or floors. These simulate the interaction between the test specimen and the separating element into which the sealing system is to be installed in practice.
This part of the EN 1366 series is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 1363 1.
The purpose of a test described in this part of the EN 1366 series is to assess the integrity and insulation performance of the penetration seal, of the penetrating service or services and of the separating element in the surrounding area of the penetration seal.
No information can be implied by the test concerning the influence of the inclusion of such penetrations and penetration seals on the loadbearing capacity of the separating element.
It is assumed that in each case the lintel above a penetration seal in the wall is designed in hot and cold state in a way that it does not apply any additional vertical load on the penetration seal.
It is not the intention of this test to provide quantitative information on the rate of leakage of smoke and/or hot gases or on the transmission or generation of fumes. Such phenomena are only noted in the test report in describing the general behaviour of test specimens during the test.
Tests in accordance with this part of the EN 1366 series are not intended to supply any information on the ability of the penetration seal to withstand stress caused by movements or displacements of the penetrating services.
The risk of spread of fire downwards caused by burning material, which drips e.g. through a pipe downwards to floors below, is at present excluded from this document.
Tests in accordance with this part of the EN 1366 series do not address any risks associated with leakage of dangerous liquids or gases caused by failure of pipes in case of fire.
Tests in accordance with this part of the EN 1366 series of pipe penetration seals for pipes of pneumatic dispatch systems, pressurized air systems, etc. simulate a situation where the systems are shut off in case of fire.
Explanatory notes to this test method are given in Annex H.
All values given without tolerances in this document are nominal ones unless otherwise specified.
All pipe diameters are outside diameters unless otherwise specified.
