BS EN 15659:2009EN 15659:2009 (E) 4 Introduction The testing conditions given in this European Standard provide a basis fo
17、r simulating fires to determine, in a reproducible way, 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 temperatu
18、re increase of 150 K at every measuring point in the protection 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 no
19、rmally experienced by paper media stored in light fire storage units in the normal and correct way. BS EN 15659:2009EN 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 t
20、he ability of light fire storage units to protect 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
21、for the test specimen, the technical documentation 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 Normat

29、et geometry, etc.) as well as the same base (with a tolerance of 15 % each applicable to the internal dimensions of width and depth), the models with the smallest and largest internal height resp. the lowest and highest number of drawers shall be tested. Light fire storage units with double doors sh
30、all be regarded as a separate model range. Where a variety of locking options is available, the test specimen used in the type test shall be coordinated with the testing laboratory. Two identical light fire storage units shall be available: one for the fire endurance test, the other for verifying co
31、rrelation of the filling material with the technical documentation. The testing laboratory shall decide which test specimen will be used for the type test. 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
32、 have a plinth. 5.2 Technical documentation 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 s
33、pecifications as to height, width and depth 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
34、 materials and seals used in the test specimens 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 contro
35、l parameters, and b) details of the performance characteristics, or c) details of the constituent materials and processing methods. BS EN 15659:2009EN 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
36、, stamp and date. One set is sent to the 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
37、 technical documentation must correlate. 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 f
38、ire endurance of the test specimen is assessed 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 constr
39、ucted so that the four vertical walls of 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 s
40、hall conform to EN 1363-1. To meet these 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
41、 such that the neutral pressure level is 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 positione
42、d on a plinth of brick with a height of 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 spec
43、imen should not exceed 200 mm. 6.2.3 Thermocouples of type K (NiCr-Ni) with a measurement uncertainty in accordance with EN 60584-1 for measuring the furnace temperature. 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
44、.5 mm diameter wires of type K (NiCr-Ni) 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
45、 shall be assembled in accordance with 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 %. BS EN 15659:2009EN 15659:2009 (E) 8 6.3 Preparation fo
46、r test 6.3.1 Suitably modify the base (see 6.3.3) of the test specimen for the fire endurance test (see 6.4.2) to allow the entry of thermocouple cables. Plinths and other elements that may prevent proper protection of the thermocouple cables may be removed. 6.3.2 For the fire endurance test (see 6.
47、4.2) install thermocouples (see 6.2.4) at the following measuring points in the test specimen to enable temperature measurement: a) Four thermocouples for measuring the air temperature in the upper corners each (26.5 1.5) mm from the walls, interior door surface and ceiling (see measuring points 1,
48、2, 3 and 4 of Figure 1). b) One thermocouple for measuring the surface temperature on each of the ceiling, side walls, rear wall, and door, approximately in the centre of each surface (see measuring points 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 of Figure 1). c) For two-door cabinets only, two additional thermocouples for
49、 measuring the air temperature at (26.5 1.5) mm from the centre door joint, one (26.5 1.5) mm from the ceiling and the other approximately half-way up the cabinet (see measuring points 10 and 11 of Figure 1). d) For test specimens with several compartments (e.g. drawers), additional thermocouples in each compartment (drawer), as in a) and b).
