Fire resistance tests for non-loadbearing elements - Part 4: Curtain walling - Part configuration

This European Standard specifies a method for determining the fire resistance of parts of curtain walling and of the perimeter seal. It examines the fire resistance to internal and external fire exposure of: - the spandrel panel, i.e. downstand, upstand or a combination thereof, or - the perimeter seal, or - the fixing of the framing system (anchoring) used to attach the curtain walling to the floor element, or - combinations thereof. Results from tests according to this standard form the basis for classification of curtain walling type A (see 3.3 for definition). For curtain walling type B (see 3.4 for definition) results may be used to determine fire resistance of parts of a curtain walling to increase the field of application when previously tested to EN 1364 3. For intended classification EW and for corner/faceted specimens EN 1364 3 should be used. This European Standard does not cover double skin façades, over-cladding systems and ventilated façade systems on external walls. It does not deal with the reaction to fire behaviour of curtain walling. This standard is intende
