EN 13501-1 Classification using data from reaction to fire tests

 

EN 13501-1 Fire classification of construction products and building elements - Part 1: Classification using data from reaction to fire tests.

 

EN 13501-1 according to requirements and test results, divided into seven classifications: A1, A2, B, C, D, E, F

Test method:

EN ISO 1182: non –combustibility test

EN ISO 1716: heat of combustion test

EN 13823: single burning item test

EN ISO 9239-1: determination of the burning behaviour of floorings, using a radiant heat source

EN ISO 11925-2: ignitability test
