Fire classification of construction products and building elements - Part 5: Classification using data from external fire exposure to roofs tests; German version EN 13501-5:2016
Klassifizierung von Bauprodukten und Bauarten zu ihrem Brandverhalten - Teil 5: Klassifizierung mit den Ergebnissen aus Prüfungen von Bedachungen bei Beanspruchung durch Feuer von außen; Deutsche Fassung EN 13501-5:2016
Overview
This European Standard provides the fire performance classification procedures for roofs/roof coverings exposed to external fire based on the four test methods given in CEN/TS 1187:2012 and the relevant extended application rules. For the classification of a roof/roof covering, only those test methods and those application rules need to be applied for which the corresponding classification is envisaged. Products are considered in relation to their end use application. This document has been prepared by CEN/TC 127 "Fire safety in buildings" (secretariat: BSI, United Kingdom). Working Committee NA 005-52-07 AA "Brandverhalten von Baustoffen und Bauteilen - Bedachungen" ("Fire behaviour of building materials and building components - Roofing") at DIN Standards Committee Building and Civil Engineering (NABau) is responsible for this standard.
