European Classification System for Construction Products
The European classification standards (EN 13501 series) define harmonised procedures for classifying the resistance and reaction to fire performance of construction products. The UK government has announced that the National Classes fire testing standards (i.e. BS 476 series) will be withdrawn from 'Approved Document B' in favour of the EN 13501 series of European classification standards. Join Peter Barker as he explains the methods used to derive European classifications for construction products, covering the following topics: · Key differences between EN 13501 and BS 476 series of standards · Test methods · Extension of scope using direct (DIAP) and extended application (EXAP) rules · Classification process · Product families
