EN 13501-1 Fire Classification of Building Products and Structural Elements - Classification Using Data from Reaction to Fire Tests

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of EN 13501-1 standard. This part of EN 13501 provides the reaction to fire classification procedure for all building products, including products included in building elements, except for power, control and communication cables within the scope of EN 13501-6. Products are evaluated according to their end-use applications.

EN 13501-1 Fire Classification of Building Products and Structural Elements - Classification Using Data from Reaction to Fire Tests

This document applies to the categories of building products, floors and linear pipe thermal insulation products, excluding floors and linear pipe thermal insulation products, which are discussed separately in this document.

NPD option can be used for CE marking of construction products within the scope of Construction Materials Regulation ((EC) 305/2011), in cases where fire reaction performance will not be declared.

Construction products are classified according to harmonized test methods on A1, A2, B, C, D, E and F Euroclasses. Products classified in a particular class are considered to meet all requirements of any subclass.

Products classified in classes A1 and A2 are non-flammable (cement, concrete, minerals, glass, fiberglass, rock wool, ceramics, etc.), certified materials from B to F can burn in ascending order. Flooring materials are classified according to A1, A2, B, C, D, E and F classes, followed by the abbreviation of “fl” flooring.

Building products and building elements, fire classification part 1: Classification using data from behavior tests against fire. With the increasing population, unplanned construction, and the construction of high and multifunctional buildings in our country, fires and loss of life and property in fires have increased. This is largely related to the materials chosen during the design and construction phase of the building. Within the scope of the "REGULATION ON THE PROTECTION OF BUILDINGS FROM FIRE", which became obligatory in 2007, the reaction to fire classification adopted for building materials in our country is the EN 13501-1 standard and the European norms it covers.
