DIN EN 15659:2009-12 EN 15659:2009 (E) 4 Introduction The testing conditions given in this European Standard provide a basis for simulating fires to determine, in a reproducible way
18、, the fire resistance of light fire storage units at various protection levels. The protection levels enable a comparison to be made of the resistance against fire provided by different constructions. The threshold value for the maximum temperature increase of 150 K at every measuring point in the p
19、rotection levels LFS 30 P and LFS 60 P for light fire storage units from a starting temperature of (21 1)C, as defined in this European Standard, refers to the relatively short-term stress due to high temperatures during a fire test. It is not normally experienced by paper media stored in light fire
20、 storage units in the normal and correct way. DIN EN 15659:2009-12 EN 15659:2009 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies requirements for light fire storage units providing protection against fire. The method of test is specified to determine the ability of light fire storage units to protect
21、 paper media from the effects of fire. Two levels of fire exposure periods (LFS 30 P and LFS 60 P) are specified using the maximum temperature increase permitted within the storage space of the light fire storage unit. Requirements are also specified for the test specimen, the technical documentatio
22、n for the test specimen, correlation of the test specimen with the technical documentation, preparation for type testing and test procedures. A scheme to classify the light fire storage units from the test results is also given (see Table 1). 2 Normative references The following referenced documents
23、 are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.

The test specimen shall be modified at its base for installing the measuring instrumentation (see 6.3.1 and Figure 2) and may have, but need not have a plinth. 5.2 Technical documentation
33、of the test specimen Detailed technical documentation about the range and test specimen (drawings, specifications of materials, installation and processing advice) shall be submitted to the testing laboratory before the type test. The drawings shall give specifications as to height, width and depth
34、of the test specimens, materials and their thicknesses, dimensions of rabbet edges, locking system, welds including the method of their execution, seals, etc. The mass of the plinth shall be given. Samples and detailed specifications of all heat protection materials and seals used in the test specim
35、ens shall accompany the test specimens. The date(s) on which the test specimens were filled with fire protection materials shall be given. NOTE 1 With reference to all heat protection materials, the technical documentation should include: a) quality control parameters, and b) details of the performa
36、nce characteristics, or c) details of the constituent materials and processing methods. DIN EN 15659:2009-12 EN 15659:2009 (E) 7 NOTE 2 In connection with the type test, the testing laboratory should mark three sets of the technical documentation with signature, stamp and date. One set is sent to th
37、e applicant. One set is added to the monitoring documentation for certification and quality assurance. One set is kept in the testing files of the test laboratory. 5.3 Correlation of test specimens and technical documentation The test specimens and the supplied technical documentation must correlate
38、. As to mass, the two test specimens shall not differ by more than 10 %. In series production, the wall, ceiling and door thicknesses must not be below the specified minimum limit of the type-tested thickness by more than 3 %. 6 Test methods 6.1 Principle The fire endurance of the test specimen is a
39、ssessed by heating in a furnace. During the type test the temperature in the interior of the test specimen is measured. 6.2 Test equipment 6.2.1 The furnace which must be capable of providing the uniform heating conditions specified in this standard, and constructed so that the four vertical walls o
40、f the test specimen can each be exposed to the same heating conditions with no direct flame impingement onto the test specimen. The distance between the interior walls of the furnace and the surface of the test specimen shall be 750 mm. The furnace conditions shall conform to EN 1363-1. To meet thes
41、e conditions, the setting of the neutral pressure level shall be made in accordance with 6.2.2 and the measurement of the temperature in the interior of the furnace shall be made with instrumentation in accordance with 6.2.3. 6.2.2 The furnace shall be operated such that the neutral pressure level i
42、s reached after 5 min of firing, measured at 5 Pa 1,000 mm above the furnace base. Test specimens with an external height of 1,000 mm shall be placed on the furnace base during the type test. Test specimens with an external height of 1,000 mm shall be positioned on a plinth of brick with a height of
43、 500 mm. For pressure measurements, pressure measuring heads in accordance with 4.5.2 of EN 1363-1:1999 shall be used. NOTE In order to ensure consistent heating conditions, the width of the plinth area around the projected cross-sectional area of the test specimen should not exceed 200 mm. 6.2.3 Th

The furnace thermocouples shall be plate thermometers according to 4.5.1.1 of EN 1363-1:1999. 6.2.4 Thermocouples consisting of 0.5 mm diameter wires of type K (NiCr-Ni
45、) or type J (Fe-CuNi) with a measurement uncertainty in accordance with EN 60584-1 for measuring the air and surface temperatures in the test specimen. The measurement results shall be recorded at intervals not greater than 1 min. The contact measurement points shall be assembled in accordance with
46、4.5.1.2 and 4.5.1.4 of EN 1363-1:1999, respectively. 6.2.5 Timing device, capable of running continuously throughout the test period. 6.2.6 Equipment for weighing test specimens, with an error limit of 3 %.
