EN 14390 Fire Testing - Test for Large Scale Room Reference for Surface Products

EUROLAB, together with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and rapid testing services within the scope of EN 14390 testing. This standard specifies a test method for evaluating the reaction to fire performance of building products. A fire starting under well-ventilated conditions is simulated in a corner of a small room with a single open door.

The method aims to evaluate the contribution of a surface product to fire growth in a room configuration using a specific ignition source. It establishes a reference test for such products within the European classification system for the reaction-to-fire performance of building products.

The method is particularly suitable for building products that cannot be tested on a small or medium laboratory scale in end-use applications. The method can also be used to evaluate the effect of an insulating substrate on product performance.

A test performed in accordance with the method specified in this European Standard provides data for the early stages of a fire from ignition to flaming.

The method is not designed to evaluate floor coverings. It may not be suitable for some stand-alone products as their integrity can have a decisive influence on their behavior when exposed to fire.

The term "surface product" as used in the title and scope of this European Standard relates specifically to interior linings, fittings, pipes and pipe insulation products used in buildings.
