Fire resistance tests for service installations - Part 12: Non-mechanical fire barrier for ventilation ductwork; German version EN 1366-12:2014
Feuerwiderstandsprüfungen für Installationen - Teil 12: Nichtmechanische Brandschutzverschlüsse für Lüftungsleitungen; Deutsche Fassung EN 1366-12:2014
Overview
This part of EN 1366 specifies a method for determining the fire resistance of non-mechanical fire barriers installed in fire separating elements designed to withstand heat and the passage of smoke and gases at high temperature. This European Standard is used in conjunction with EN 1363-1 and EN 1366-2. This European Standard is not suitable for testing non-mechanical fire barriers in suspended ceilings without modification. This European Standard is not suitable for testing fire dampers, see EN 1366-2. This European Standard is not suitable for testing such products as air transfer grilles, as the pressures and flows involved are different and may cause differing behaviour. This European Standard has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 127 "Fire safety in buildings", the secretariat of which is held by BSI (United Kingdom). Working Committee NA 005-52-06 AA "Brandverhalten von Baustoff und Bauteilen - Lüftungsleitungen" ("Reaction to fire of building materials and building components - Ventilation ducts") of the Standards Committee Building and Civil Engineering (NABau) is responsible at DIN.
