This European Standard specifies a method for determining the fire resistance of parts of curtain walling and of the perimeter seal. It examines the fire resistance to internal and external fire exposure of:<\/p>\n
the spandrel panel, i.e. downstand, upstand or a combination thereof, or<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
the perimeter seal, or<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
the fixing of the framing system (anchoring) used to attach the curtain walling to the floor element, or<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
combinations thereof.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Results from tests according to this standard form the basis for classification of curtain walling type A (see 3.3 for definition).<\/p>\n
For curtain walling type B (see 3.4 for definition) results may be used to determine fire resistance of parts of a curtain walling to increase the field of application when previously tested to EN 1364-3. For intended classification EW and for corner\/faceted specimens EN 1364-3 should be used.<\/p>\n
This European Standard does not cover double skin fa\u00e7ades, over-cladding systems and ventilated fa\u00e7ade systems on external walls. It does not deal with the reaction to fire behaviour of curtain walling.<\/p>\n
This standard is intended to be read in conjunction with EN 1363-1 and EN 1363-2 as well as EN 1364-3 for curtain walling type B.<\/p>\n
\nNOTE Annex A gives informative guidance on the principles of testing parts of curtain walling and the test method.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
