Commonly used test standards for building materials exported to the European Union - EN13501-1 Determination of the combustion rating of building products and

I. EN 13501-1 Determination of fire classification of construction products and building elements - Name of standard:

EN 13501-1:2018:Fire classification of construction products and building elements-Part 1: Classification using data from reaction to fire tests

ü EN 13501-1:2018:Fire classification of construction products and building elements-Part 1: Classification using data from reaction to fire tests

ü EN 13501-1 Determination of the fire rating of building products and components - Overview of the standard:

With the fire science and fire engineering disciplines in the field of research and development, the connotation of combustion characteristics from the simple flame propagation and spread, extended to include combustion heat release rate, heat release, combustion smoke density and combustion product toxicity and other parameters. The classification system of EN 13501-1 is more scientific as it actively considers the above parameters. At the same time, EN 13501-1 stipulates some test methods that take into account both actual fire scenarios and the end-use of the material, and thus are more representative of the actual situation.
