BS 476-21 Test Standard for Determining the Fire Resistance of Load Bearing Elements and Construction Materials

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of BS 476-21 standard. BS 476-21 has been prepared under the direction of the Fire Standards Committee and describes the procedures for determining the fire resistance of the bearing elements of the building construction.

BS 476-21 Test Standard for Determining the Fire Resistance of Load Bearing Elements and Construction Materials

This section of BS 476 describes procedures for determining the fire resistance of load-bearing members of a building construction when subjected to the heating and pressure conditions specified in BS 476-20.

This section provides requirements for sample selection or design and construction, loading and restraint conditions, equipment, procedures, and criteria applied to load-bearing samples. The methods can be applied to beams, columns, floors, flat roofs and walls.

Methods for determining the fire resistance of load-bearing elements with a finite fire resistance and components that contribute to the fire resistance of a structure are described in BS 476-21 and 23, respectively. General changes to the methods described in this chapter compared to BS 476-8 are described in the preface to BS 476-20.
