European foreword
This document (prEN 17020-2:2016) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 33 “Doors,
windows, shutters, building hardware and curtain walling”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
Introduction
The EN 15269 series of standards covering extended application of test results for fire resistance
and/or smoke control for door, shutter and openable window assemblies, including their elements of
building hardware, does not include the durability of self-closing of the doorsets following an extended
application process. This document is one of a series of standards intended to be used for the purpose
of producing an extended application report based on the evaluation of one or more durability self-
closing tests. These European Standards may also be used to identify the best selection of test
specimens required to cover a wide range of product variations.
Before there can be any consideration for extended application, the doorset will need to have been
tested in accordance with EN 1634-1 resp. EN 1634-3 and EN 12605 to achieve a test result which could
generate a classification in accordance with EN 13501-2 at least equal to the classification subsequently
required from extended application considerations.
1 Scope
This European Standard covers steel rolling shutters as covered by EN 15269-10.
This document prescribes the methodology for extending the application of test results obtained from
durability self-closing test(s) conducted in accordance with EN 1634-1.
Subject to the completion of the appropriate self-closing test or tests, the extended application may
cover all or some of the following non-exhaustive list:
— Integrity only (E), radiation (EW) or insulated (EI1 or EI2) classifications;
— shutter curtain;
— wall/ceiling fixed elements (frame/suspension system);
— decorative finishes;
— intumescent, smoke, draught or acoustic seals;
— alternative supporting construction(s).

For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 1363-1, EN 1363-2,
EN 1634-1, EN 15269-1, EN 12433-1, EN 12433-2 and EN ISO 13943 and the following apply.
3.1
full scale test
test of a full size doorset or rolling shutter in accordance with EN 12605
4 Determination of the field of extended application
4.1 General
4.1.1 Before there can be any consideration for extended application the steel rolling shutter
assemblies shall have been tested and classified in accordance with EN 12605 and EN 13501-2
respectively in order to establish a classification for the doorset.
4.1.2 A review of the construction parameters can indicate that one or more characteristics may be
improved by a particular parameter variation. All evaluations shall be made on the basis of retaining the
classifications obtainable from testing to EN 12605, including those with a lower number of opening
and closing cycles. However, this shall never lead to an increased classification for any specific
parameter beyond that achieved during any one test unless specifically identified in the relevant
Construction Parameter Variation tables.
4.1.3 All evaluations shall be made on the basis of retaining the classification obtained from testing to
EN 1634-1 or EN 1634-3 and EN 12605.
4.1.4 If, by following the extended application procedure, any part of the classified product cannot be
achieved by extended application rules, that part shall be omitted from the subsequent extended
application report and classification report.
4.2 Procedure for evaluation
4.2.1 Identify the variations from the original test specimen(s) which are required to be covered by
an extended application report. Ensure that the variation(s) do(es) not prevent the shutter from self-
closing.
4.2.2 Locate the variations in the appropriate parameter variation by reference to columns (1) and
(2) of Table A.1.
4.2.3 Establish from the contents of column (4) of Table A.1 whether any extended application is
available without the need for further testing.
4.2.4 Where this is deemed to be possible this can be recorded in the extended application report
together with any appropriate restrictions and the stated rules from column (4) in Table A.1.
4.2.5 Where the variations required can only be achieved from additional testing according to
column (5), the additional test can be made on a similar specimen type to the original test against which
the extended application is sought. Alternatively, column (5) identifies an option for alternative testing
and relevant test parameters.
4.3 Procedure for maximum field of extended application
4.3.1 It is possible to provide a limited field of extended application from the results of a single test.
However, where a manufacturer intends to produce a range of steel rolling shutters assemblies
incorporating manual and power drives, insulated and uninsulated version, with alternative elements of
construction etc. it is recommended that careful consideration is given to the complete range of designs
and options in order to minimize the testing required before testing commences.
4.3.2 Establish all the parameter variations which are required to be part of the product range.
4.3.3 Determine which are the most important specification requirements and incorporate as many
as possible into the specimen(s) for the first tests in the series.
4.3.4 Conduct the first durability test or a series of tests and then establish which of the original
desired parameter variations have not been covered by this test(s).
4.3.5 Identify these parameter variations in Table A.1 and establish if any extended application is
possible without further testing.
4.3.6 Record this for the extended application report together with any restrictions and rules given in
column (4) in Table A.1.
4.3.7 Evaluate which, if any, of the desired parameter variations have not been covered by the initial
field of extended application derived from 4.3.6 above.
4.3.8 Select the required outstanding parameter variations from column (1) and column (2) of
Table A.1 and observe from column (5) of Table A.1 which are the most appropriate weakest specimen
options for further testing.
4.3.9 If the complete selection of required parameter variations has not been covered by the tests
completed in accordance with 4.3.8 and 4.3.9 above, then an appropriate test or tests may be repeated
with the additional product variations incorporated.
4.4 Interpretation of test results
4.4.1 In order to maximize the field of extended application, it is important that the test reports shall
record details of any failures throughout the test duration.
4.4.2 Where a series of tests have been conducted, the field of extended application shall be based on
the lowest performance achieved from the complete series of tests unless premature failure has been
attributed to one or more specific construction parameter variation.
4.4.3 Where it has been possible to identify specific parameter failures, the extended application for
all other construction parameter variations can be based on the performance achieved after isolating
the premature failure(s).
5 Extended application report
Prepare an extended application report in accordance with the requirements of EN 15269-1, based on
the results of evaluations in accordance with the above.
6 Classification report
The classification report shall be determined from the results of the extended application report and
shall be presented in accordance with EN 13501-2:2007+A1:2009, Annex A.
Annex A
(normative)
Construction parameter variations
Table A.1 below is designed to be used by experts competent in the field of fire resistance and self-
closing durability testing of steel rolling shutter assemblies.
The table shall only be used to assess a field of extended application when at least one positive self-
closing durability test to EN 12605 has generated a classification according to EN 13501-2.
The first two columns identify possible variations to the construction details of the specimen tested. It is
presupposed that the variation does not restrain the door closing.
Column (4) leads to the judgement of the possibility of extending the field of application.
Where additional tests are deemed to be necessary, the type of specimen approved for incorporation of
the changed parameter is defined in column (5). Where it is possible to use information from tests
performed on one configuration for evidence on a different configuration, this allowance has been made
in order to reduce the overall number of tests required for extended application evaluation.
Where an additional test is required in column (5), the test is a full scale test unless otherwise specified.
In order to maximize the possible field of application from a minimum number of tests, the parameter
changes have been spread over a series of test specimens. The recommended tests for each parameter
is depending upon the classification required and the preferred direction of testing as indicated in
column (5).
Where more than a single parameter variation is required, the influence on other variations shall also
be taken into account.
