Definitions “The fire behaviour of special components covered by this Standard is characterized by the fire resistance time and by other properties listed below. ‘The fire resistance time is the minimum time in minutes during which the components fulfil the requirements of ‘Sections 5.2, 6.2 or 7.2 in the test according to Sections 53,630r73. Components are classified into the fire resistance cate- gories according to Table 1 or Table 2 corresponding to their fire resistance time. Barriers in lift wells of fire resistance category F 90 are rot themselves classified in fire resistance categories. 4 Proof of fire behaviour 4.1, With fire tests ‘The fire resistance time must be proved in accordance with this Standard for — fire barriers, by tests according to Section 6.3, — barriers in lift wells of fire resistance category F 20, by tests according to Section 6.3, ~ alazings, by the test according to Section 7.3, “The classification shall be based on the least favourable result of tests on at least two test specimens. The usability of nomstandardized types of fire barriers, barriers in lift wells of fire resistance category F 90 and glazings of fire resistance categories G cannot be assessed solely from test certificates according to this Standard; further proots of suitability have to be provided, e.g. jn the context of the granting of a general “bauaufsichtliche Zulassung’” (building code licence). 42. Without fir For components classified in a fire resistance category in DIN 4102 Part 4, no further proof is necessary. tests 5 Fire barriers 5.1 Definition Fire barriers are automatically closing doors and auto matically closing barriers of other types (e.9. shutters, *) Glazings of fire resistance categories F must all Fulfil the requirements for space-enclosing walls of the appropriate fire resistance category ~ in particular they must also prevent the passage of thermal radia tion — see DIN 4102 Part 2. 2) Compare also “Directions for licensing of fre barriers" of the Institut far Bautechnik, Berlin (December 1976 issue)roller shutters, gates) designed, when they are installed, to prevent passage of a fire through openings in walls of floors. 5.2. Requirements 5.2.1. Fire barriers must fulfil the following requirements ‘and there must be no ground for objection with respect, ‘0 the information to be included in the test certificate ‘according to Section 5.4 The following fire resistance categories are distinguished: Table 1. Fire resistance categories T Frerwananee category | "ste ine T@ = 18 28 1% is Ha 2a 5.2.2. Fire barriers must withstand the mechanical stress Of the test according to Section 8.3.2 in such a manner ‘that they remain fully functional, exhibit no externally Visible damage and fulfil the following requiroments. 5.2.3. Fire barriers must close automatically. 5.2.4. Fire barriers must not collapse during the fire test within a test period corresponding to the fire resistance time according to Table 1 nor must they open either partly or completely as a result of failure of the closure ‘or locking parts or holding devices (e.g. hinges). 5.2.5 With a fire test for a test period corresponding to the fire resistance time according to Table 1, — the space-enclosing effect of the fire barriers must be maintained and — passage of the fire must be prevented. ‘This requirement is deemed to have been fulfilled if, on the unexposed side. 1, apad of cotton woo! placed against the barrier dows not catch fire (smouldering of the pad of cotton woo! is considered as ignition) in the test according to DIN 4102 Part 2, September 1977 issue, Section 6.2.6. 2. no flames occur Note: Smouldering of the surface of the fire barrier ‘may occur in the strip-shaped edge surface according 10 Section 5.2.6 provided it does not ignite the pad of ‘cotton wool. 3. at the measuring points on the measurement canopy (see Section 5.3.7) the average temperature rises by no more than 140 K above the initial temperature at the start of the test and that at no measuring point does the temperature rises by more than 180 K above the initial temperature. 6.2.6 In the fire test during a test period corresponding 10 the fire resistance time according to Table 1, the unexposed side of the fire barriers shall not heat up by ‘more than 140 K,, taking an average of measuring points 110 5, above the initial temperature of the test specimen at the start of the test. ‘At no measuring point must a temperature rise of more than 180 K above the initial temperature occur. The edge DIN 4102 Part § Page 3 strip of the movable part of barriers and the wall surface adjacent to the opening and in the reveal, the temperature "ise during the fire tests should be ignored, This strip has width of Vag of the inside height of the opening, subject toa maximum of 100mm and runs directly adjacent to ‘the boundary of the inside opening and around the door handle penetration. In the case of multileaf doors, such 2 strip should also be allowed on each side of a line bisecting the rebated area common to two leaves of the door. 5.2.7 Fire barriers must comply with the above condi tions after being subjected to the strength test according to DIN 4102 Part 2, September 1977 issue, Section 6.2.9. 5.2.8 If the barriers contain light-admitting elements, the light-admitting area and the retaining devices must also comply with the above requirements. A test according to Section 7 of this Standard is not considered a sufficient. 53 Tests 53.1. Before the fire test, the test specimens should be ‘ested in the built-in condition for effectiveness of the closure devices. 5.3.2. Before the fire test, door leaves (in the case of ‘wo4eaf doors, both leaves) should be tested by closing 5000 times from an opening angle of 50°; the closing action for this purpose must be in conformity with prac tice. Sliding oF lifting doors or gates or roller shutters should be tested in a similar manner according to their type. 5.3.3 The test specimens should be subjected to the tests ‘according to DIN 4102 Part 2 in the dimensions as pro: posed for their practical use, including fixings, closure devices, locks and fittings and with a curface treatment corresponding to the service condition (if necessary, with ‘out a final coat 2). If the fire barriers are to be installed in masonry walls at least 11.5¢m thick according to DIN 1053 Part 1 with brick strengths 2 10 N/mm? or in concrete walls at least 10m thick according to DIN 1045 of at least strength category Bn 100, the test specimens shall be set with their frames in a wall 11.5em thick according to DIN 1053 Part 1, using bricks HLz A 1.4/180 according {0 DIN 105, mortar group IL If the fire barriers are to be installed, for practical use, in ‘masonry walls according to DIN 1063 Part 1 at least 24cm thick, with brick strengths 2 10 N/mm? or in con: crete walls according to DIN 1045 at least 20 om thick and at least of strength category Bn 100, the test speci mens shall be set in 24m thick walls constructed as, above, If the fire barriers, when used in practice, are to be installed in other walls (e.g. lightly constructed partitions (or walls of lower strength building materials), the test specimens shall be subjected to fire tests in conjunction with walls of this type. In the fire tests, the heating should be on the hinge side of one test specimen and then on the other side of the other test specimen, When the fire exposure is on the ‘opposite side to the hinges of the fire barrier, the distance Of the measuring points for measuring temperature in the fire room should be referred to the surface of the wall exposed to flame. 2) See page 2
