What is BS EN 15269‑11 about?
BS EN 15269‑11 is part 11 of a series of European standards on fire resistance and/or smoke control for door, shutter and openable window assemblies.
BS EN 15269‑11 covers vertically mounted types of manual or powered, operable fabric curtain assemblies with downward closing operation.
BS EN 15269‑11 establishes the methodology for extending the application of test results obtained from tests conducted in accordance with the EN 1634-1 test method for shutters.
Who is BS EN 15269‑11 for?
BS EN 15269‑11 on fire resistance and/or smoke control is useful for:
- Constructors
- Designers
Why should you use BS EN 15269‑11?
Fire resistance tests are intended to assess the performance of elements of construction for their load bearing or fire separating properties – usually termed their fire resistance – for their regulated use in buildings. A review of the door assembly construction parameters can indicate that one or more characteristics may be improved by a particular parameter variation. All evaluations should be made on the basis of retaining the fire resistance classifications obtainable from testing to EN 1634-1, including those lower than the test duration.
BS EN 15269‑11 is one of a series of standards intended to be used for the purpose of producing an extended application report based on the evaluation of one or more fire resistance and/or smoke control tests. These standards may also be used to identify the best selection of test specimens required to cover a wide range of product variations.
These tests can help increase the efficiency and knowledge within your organization.
