What is BS EN 2591-318 - Fire-resistance about?
BS EN 2591-318 is a European Standard that specifies a method of determining fire-resistance of elements of connection.
BS EN 2591-318 includes the preparation of specimen, apparatus and method to determine fire-resistance of elements of connection.
Who is BS EN 2591-318 - Fire-resistance for?
BS EN 2591-318 on Fire-resistance is applicable to:
- Aerospace avionic electrical and fibre optic technology
- Aerospace and defence industries
- Electrical components manufacturers
Why should you use BS EN 2591‑318 - Fire-resistance?
Fire resistance tests are intended to assess the performance of elements of connection for their loadbearing or fire separating properties.
BS EN 2591-318 covers all the requirements and tests related with fire resistance for elements of the electrical and optical connection. It creates a standardized approach for manufacturers to adhere to if they supply their metallic materials to the aerospace and defence industry.
By adopting BS EN 2591-318, you can demonstrate the reliability of elements of electrical and optical connection and build trust in its use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
