Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible f

BS EN 15998:2010EN 15998:2010 (E) 4 Introduction According to mandate M/135 “Glass in bu
19、ilding“, one of the essential characteristics that may be claimed is Safety in case of fire Resistance to fire (for glass for use in a glazed assembly intended specifically for fire resistance). However, glass products cannot be tested and classified for fire resistance without being incorporated in
20、to a fire resistant glazed assembly. BS EN 15998:2010EN 15998:2010 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the testing methodology to be used for glass products that are claiming fire resistance. The methodology covers Initial Type Testing as defined in the relevant glass product standard. NO
21、TE This document provides guidance with the declaration of the characteristic, Safety in case of fire Resistance to fire (for glass for use in a glazed assembly intended specifically for fire resistance) for the CE marking. The same methodology can also be used to determine the performance classific
22、ation for market applications (see Annex B). The methodology covers all glass product types that may require testing and classification for fire resistance. Fire resistance testing covers end use applications for example: doors; partitions, walls (including curtain walling); floors, roofs; ceilings.

28、 3.1 extended field of application EXAP outcome of a process (involving the application of defined rules that may incorporate calculation procedures) that predicts, for a variation of a product property and/or its intended end use application(s), a test result on the basis of one or more test result

NOTE 2 The classification of a specific glass product will be one or more of E, EW, EI, RE, REI NOTE 3 The time obtained for different classifications may be different, e.g. EW 30, EI 20. 3.4 framing system frame profile and fixings to the supporting structure (e.g. wal

36、, same characteristic(s), same or more onerous test method, sampling method and attestation of conformity 3.9 initial type testing ITT determination of the performance of a product (characteristic, durability), on the basis of either actual tests or other procedures (such as conventional, standardiz
37、ed, tabulated or general accepted values, standardized or recognized calculation methods, test reports when made available, etc.), in accordance with this European Standard that demonstrates compliance with this European Standard NOTE The European Standard referred to is the applicable “Evaluation o
38、f conformity/product standard” for the glass product under consideration, e.g. EN 1279-5; EN 12150-2; EN 13024-2; EN 14449. 3.10 reference test fire resistance test in accordance with the appropriate standard (see 4.3), on which the extended application is based and the results of which are used as
39、the main source of data for the extended application NOTE 1 This test may also be used as the initial type test to support CE marking of fire-resistant glass or as a market application test. In each case, Annex ZA of the product standard should be considered: e.g. involvement of a Notified Certifica
40、tion Body, sample traceability, product sampling (when necessary) and checks of the factory production control. NOTE 2 The reference test provides the main source of data to determine the following: performance rating (integrity, integrity with radiation or integrity with insulation); maximum pane a
41、rea and dimensions for the fire-resistant glass; maximum dimensions of the fire-resistant glazed element for each type of frame material. NOTE 3 The reference test may also provide other data to assist in determining, through EXAP rules, the following: permitted dimensional changes to the framing sy
42、stem; any changes to the glazing system. BS EN 15998:2010EN 15998:2010 (E) 9 3.11 test report document that covers the results of tests undertaken on a representative sample of the product from production or on a prototype design of the product NOTE This definition comes from an “Evaluation of confo
43、rmity/product standard”. 3.12 technical file document, produced and maintained by the manufacturer, that contains all relevant information dealing with product traceability/testing/manufacture, etc. 3.13 virtual assembly glazed assembly that is defined by the glass manufacturer for the Initial Type
44、Testing of the characteristic “Safety in case of fire Resistance to fire (for glass for use in a glazed assembly intended specifically for fire resistance)“ NOTE 1 The acceptable components and the scope of application for the “Virtual Assembly“ are those defined by the relevant classification repor
45、t. NOTE 2 Classification is in accordance with EN 13501-2 and based upon: a) fire resistance test(s) for direct application; or b) for extended application according to EXAP rules. 4 Principles 4.1 General According to EN 357:2004, 5.1, the fire resistance classification shall be related to the comp
46、lete glazed element which incorporates the glass products and all given dimensions and tolerances. Therefore the principle is established that the glass shall be fitted into a framing system, complete with seals and mounting and fixing arrangements. Therefore as a consequence the glass cannot be cla
47、ssified on its own. The classification relates to a complete glazed assembly. The glazed assembly is tested in accordance with the applicable test method (see 4.3). The determination of the fire resistance classification is primarily undertaken for two separate reasons: determination of the fire res
48、istance performance of the glass product as one of its characteristics for regulatory marking (see 4.2); determination of the fire resistance performance of a glazed assembly for specific market applications (see Annex B). NOTE A test may satisfy both of the above items. 4.2 Testing to determine fir
49、e resistance as a product characteristic for a glass According to any of the “Evaluation of conformity/product standards“ for glass the characteristic “Safety in case of fire Resistance to fire (for glass for use in a glazed assembly intended specifically for fire resistance)“ can be determined and classified in accordance with EN 13501-2. Therefore the testing shall be undertaken on a complete fire resistant glazed assembly. This requ
