EN 1363-2 Fire Resistance Tests - Part 2: Standard Test for Alternative and Additional Procedures

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 1363-2 testing. This part of EN 1363 specifies alternative heating conditions and other procedures that may need to be adopted under special circumstances. This standard should be read in conjunction with EN 1363-1. Details of alternative hydrocarbon, slow heating and external fire exposure heating curves and additional impact testing and measurement of radiation procedures are included in this standard. An explanation of why it may be necessary is provided in the appropriate clause for each procedure.

Unless one of the alternative heating regimes is specifically required, the standard temperature time curve given in EN 1363-1 shall be used. Similarly, impact testing and measurement of radiation will only be made when specifically requested.

The test results obtained may be directly applicable to other similar elements or variations of the element under test. The extent to which this practice is allowed depends directly on the application area of ​​the test result. This is constrained by providing rules that limit variation from the sample tested without further evaluation. Rules for determining allowable variations are given in each specific test method.
