Ehdotuksen tiedot

The document provides: — guidelines for determining the thermal effects to consider on fire barriers inside a given room; — guidelines for determining the global performance of the fire barriers based on standard test characterization; — guidelines for assessing the need for additional tests to verify the robustness of the solution. Requirements of applicable standards, numerical tools validation and verification (V&V), and the expected qualification of fire resistance laboratories are detailed. The limitations of the method’s applicability and scope are discussed. The purpose and justification of this document is to specify a method for the verification of the performance of fire barriers, which is initially based on a standardized fire resistance test.
