This Part of EN 1366 specifies a method of test and criteria for the evaluation (including field of application rules) of the ability of a penetration seal to maintain the fire resistance of a separating element at the position at which it has been penetrated by a service. Penetration seals used to seal gaps around chimneys, air ventilation systems, fire rated ventilation ducts, fire rated service ducts, shafts and smoke extraction ducts are excluded from this standard except for mixed penetration seals. The fire resistance of those services itself cannot be assessed with the methods described in this standard.Supporting constructions are used in this standard to represent separating elements such as walls or floors. These simulate the interaction between the test specimen and the separating element into which the sealing system is to be installed in practice.This European Standard is used in conjunction with EN 1363-1.The purpose of this test described in this standard is to assess:a) the effect of such penetrations on the integrity and insulation performance of the separating element concerned;b) the integrity and insulation performance of the penetration seal;c) the insulation performance of the penetrating service or services, and where necessary, the integrity failure of a service.No information can be implied by the test concerning the influence of the inclusion of such penetrations and sealing systems on the loadbearing capacity of the separating element.It is not the intention of this test to provide quantitative information on the rate of leakage of smoke and/or hot gases or on the transmission or generation of fumes. Such phenomena are only to be noted in describing the general behaviour of test specimens during the test.This test is not intended to supply any information on the ability of the penetration seal to withstand stress caused by movements or displacements of the penetrating services.

The document provides the specific methods and requirements for the assessment of environmental, economic and social performances of a civil engineering works while taking into account the civil engineering work’s functionality and technical characteristics. The primary objective of this document is to help in the decision making for a project by providing a standardized method for enabling comparability of scheme options. The document has not been designed to be used for the development of sustainability labels however, this use is not precluded.The assessment of environmental and economic performances of a civil engineering works is based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Life Cycle Cost (LCC), Whole-Life Cost (WLC) and other quantified environmental and economic information. The approach to the assessment covers all stages of the civil engineering works life cycle and includes all civil engineering works related construction products, processes and services, used over its life cycle. The document is applicable to new and existing civil engineering works and refurbishment projects. The environmental performance is based on data obtained from Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) and additional indicators.The assessment of social performance differs from the assessment of economic and environmental aspects because it requires both quantitative and descriptive approaches.The document provides requirements for:- the description of the object of assessment;- the system boundary that applies at the civil engineering works level;- the procedure to be used for the analysis;- definition of the indicators to be declared, information to be provided and the way in which they are collated and reported,- presentation of the results in reporting and communication;- the data necessary for the application of the standard and calculation.Whenever the asset includes building(s) as part of the civil engineering works the building(s) will be assessed using EN 15978 for environmental performance, EN 16309 for social performance and EN 16627 for economic performance.

This Part of EN 1366 specifies a method for determining the fire resistance of vertical and horizontal ventilation ducts including those access panels, which are integral part of the tested ducts. The test examines the behaviour of ducts exposed to fire from the outside (duct A) and fire inside the duct (duct B). This Standard is used in conjunction with EN1363-1.Annex A provides general guidance and gives background information.This European Standard is not applicable to:a) ducts whose fire resistance depends on the fire resistance performance of a ceiling or wall(where ducts are located in cavities enclosed by fire-resistant shafts or ceilings);b) ducts containing fire dampers at points where they pass through fire separations;c) one, two or three sided ducts;d) fixing of suspension devices (e.g. anchors) to floors or walls.

This document provides a test method for determining the bearing capacity (pull out force) of a connection consisting of a screw in a screw thread channel, which cannot be calculated in accordance with current codes or conventional calculations. This document can be applied to several products, including doors, windows and curtain walling.This document applies to screw thread channels made out of metal as well as metal screws.The pull out forces of such connections may already be assessed indirectly with another test method e.g. wind load resistance for doors/windows according to EN 12211 or curtain walling kits according to EN 12179. Additional information with respect to the mechanical performance of connections and direct applications can be determined with the test method described in this document.

This part of EN 508 specifies requirements for self-supporting roofing, covering, wall cladding, lining, liner tray and tile products for discontinuous laying made from metallic coated steel sheet with or without additional organic coatings. Sheets intended to be used with insulation and membranes are also covered.This document establishes general characteristics, definitions, classifications and labelling for the products, together with requirements for the materials from which the products can be manufactured. It is intended to be used either by manufacturers to ensure that their products comply with the requirements or by purchasers to verify that the products comply when purchased before they are despatched from the factory. It specifies the requirements for products which enable them to meet all normal service conditions.This document applies to all discontinuously laid self-supporting external profiled sheets for roofing covering, wall cladding, lining, and liner trays, with the exception of tiles with a surface area less than 1 m2 and produced by stamping. These profiled sheets are designed to keep wind, rain and snow out of the building and to transfer any resultant loads and infrequent maintenance loads to the structure.This document does not cover products for structural purposes, i.e. it does cover products used in constructions of structural Class III (according to EN 1993 1 3), it does not cover products used in constructions of structural Classes I and II (according to EN 1993 1 3) intended to contribute to the global or partial stability of the building structure by providing racking resistance or resistance to permanent static loads (excluding self-weight of the metal sheet).No requirements for supporting construction, design of roof, cladding, lining, tile system and execution of connections and flashings are included.

This European Standard specifies the technical properties and establishes the test and inspection methods for finished corrugated bitumen sheets on leaving the factory. It also provides for the evaluation of conformity of products with the requirements of this standard.

This European Standard specifies the equipment and procedure for determining the resistance to impact of design ETICS kits with renders.
