DIN Standards Committee Building and Civil Engineering

Overview

This European Standard provides guidance and, where appropriate, defines procedures for variations of certain parameters and factors associated with the design of fire resistant glazed elements which have been tested in accordance with EN 1364-1, and classified according to EN 13501-2. Extended application of fire resistant glazed elements shall be based on test evidence. This standard only applies to vertically installed fire resistant glazed elements. This standard does not apply to doorsets and openable windows according to EN 1634-1. Glass block assemblies and paver units and channel-shaped glass as defined in EN 1051-1 and EN 572-7 are excluded. There is currently insufficient information available to enable rules for extended application to be developed for these products. This document (EN 15254-4:2008+A1:2011) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 127 "Fire safety in buildings", the secretariat of which is held by BSI (United Kingdom). The responsible German committee is Working Committee NA 005-52-13 AA "Brandverhalten von Baustoffen und Bauteilen - Brandschutzverglasungen" ("Fire behaviour of building materials and building components - Fire resistant glazings") at the Building and Civil Engineering Standards Committee (NABau). This standard differs from DIN EN 15254-4:2008-06 as follows: a) amendments from EN 15254-4:2008/FprA1:2011 have been incorporated in 3.1; b) amendments from EN 15254-4:2008/FprA1:2011 have been incorporated in 6.3; c) amendments from EN 15254-4:2008/FprA1:2011 have been incorporated in B.1.2; d) amendments from EN 15254-4:2008/FprA1:2011 have been incorporated in Figure B.1 and in the key.
