Acceptable test standards in the FS Code 2011
(Clause E1.3)
• Relevant parts of the international standard of ISO
• The national standards stipulated in this Part (e.g. BS, BSEN etc.)
• Where it is intended to use other standards, authorized persons should demonstrate complying with Clause E16.2 that such standards are equivalent or not inferior to the international or the national standards stipulated in this Part.
Part E Fire Properties of Building
Elements and Components
This Part provides test standards for:
• Loadbearing elements (Subsection E3)
• Non-loadbearing elements (Subsection E4)
• Doors, windows, shutters and associated penetrations (Subsection E5)
• Ventilation ducts and associated penetrations (Subsection E6)
• General penetrations (Subsection E7)
• Fire and smoke dampers (Subsection E8)
• Smoke leakage for fire rated doors and doors with smoke seals (Subsection E9)
• Non-combustibility (Subsection E10)
• Limited combustibility (Subsection E11)
• External facades (Subsection E12)
• Internal wall and ceiling linings and decorative finishes (Subsection E13)
• Floor linings and floor coverings (Subsection E14)
• Acoustic and thermal insulation (Subsection E15)
Part E Fire Properties of Building
Elements and Components
The loadbearing elements should be tested in accordance
with:
• Respective BS EN standards stipulated in Clause
E3.1 (e.g. BS EN1365-1 for loadbearing walls, BS
EN 1365-2 for loadbearing floors and roofs etc.);
• BS 476 Parts 20 and 21 stipulated in Clause E3.2; or
• Make reference to the Tables in Part E.
Fire Tests for Loadbearing Elements
(Subsection E3)
Part E Fire Properties of Building
Elements and Components
The non-loadbearing elements should be tested in
accordance with:
• Respective BS EN standards stipulated in Clauses
E4.1 – E4.4 (e.g. BS EN1364-1 for non-loadbearing
walls, BS EN 1364-2 for non-loadbearing ceilings etc.);
• BS 476 Part 22 stipulated in Clause E3.2; or
• Make reference to the Tables in Part E.
Fire Tests for Non-loadbearing Elements
(Subsection E4)
Part E Fire Properties of Building
Elements and Components
The openings in fire barriers should be protected by fire
rated doors, fire shutters etc. should be tested in
accordance with:
• Respective BS EN standards stipulated in Clause
E5.1 (e.g. BS EN1634-1 for doors. shutters and
openable windows);
• BS 476 Parts 20 and 22 stipulated in Clause E5.2.
Fire Tests for Protection of Openings in Fire
Barriers (Doors, Windows, Shutters)
(Subsection E5)
Part E Fire Properties of Building
Elements and Components
Clause E5.3
All fire rated doors, fire shutter, fire windows should be “tagged” or labelled to ensure ease of identification.
