EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of EN 1366-4 standard. This part of the EN 1366 standard specifies a method for determining the fire resistance of linear joint gaskets based on their intended end use. Perimeter seals of the curtain wall are excluded from this part of the EN 1366 series.
This standard is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 1363-1. The following tests are included in this standard:
Tests conforming to this part of the EN 1366 series are not intended to provide quantitative information on the leakage rate of smoke and/or hot gases, or the transmission or generation of fumes. Such phenomena are only noted in the test report when describing the general behavior of test specimens during testing.
The load bearing capacity of the linear joint seal is not covered in this part of the EN 1366 series. No information can be implied by testing regarding the effect of the inclusion of linear joint seals on the load carrying capacity of the separating element.
Linear joint seals are positioned at joints, gaps, gaps or other discontinuities between one or two or more structural members. Normally such openings are specified as linear as their length is greater than their width - in practice they are defined by a typical ratio of at least 10:1.
The test specimen consists of a linear joint seal. A test specimen is prepared for each type of supporting structure that the promoter wishes to classify and, if relevant, the type of movement.
The attention of all persons involved in administering and conducting this fire resistance test is drawn to the fact that fire testing can be dangerous and the possibility of toxic or harmful fumes and gases being produced during testing. Mechanical and operational hazards may also arise during the construction of test elements or structures, during their testing, and during the disposal of test residues.
An assessment of all potential hazards and risks to health should be made, and safety measures should be identified and provided. Written safety instructions should be published. Appropriate training should be given to the relevant personnel. Laboratory personnel should ensure that they follow written safety instructions at all times.
