6. Test Procedure
6.1 Pre-test examination and preparation
Prior to the fire resistance test, the doorset was subjected to 25 manually operated
opening and closing cycles and measured the closing speed as specified in BS EN 16034:
2014.
Gaps, closing forces were measured as specified in BS EN 1634-1: 2014+A1:2018,
Clause 10.1.2.and 10.1.3. The doorset was subjected to final setting as specified in BS
EN 1634-1: 2014+A1:2018, Clause 10.1.4.
6.2 Fire resistance test
The test was conducted in accordance with the procedure specified in BS EN 1634-1:
2014+A1:2018, Clause 10.2.
The ambient temperature of test area was measured at commencement of the test.
The furnace temperature was controlled so that the average furnace temperature and
tolerances complied with the requirements of BS EN 1363-1: 2020, Clause 5.1. Nine
furnace thermocouples were used to determine the average furnace temperature.
The furnace pressure was controlled so that it complied with the requirements of BS EN
1363-1: 2020, Clause 5.2. The calculated furnace pressure relative to the laboratory
atmosphere at the top of the doorset was 17.0 ± 3 Pa.
The temperature of the unexposed surface was monitored by means of twenty-six
thermocouples fixed to the unexposed surface of the specimen. Thermocouple 1 to 5 were
used to determine the average temperature of the unexposed surface of the door leaf.
Thermocouples 17 to 21 was used to determine the average temperature of the
unexposed surface of the fire panel. Thermocouple 1 to 5, 10 to 13 were used to
determine the maximum temperature (normal procedure) of the unexposed surface of the
door leaf. Thermocouples 6 to 9 were used to determine the maximum temperature
(supplementary procedure) of the unexposed surface of the door leaf. Thermocouple 17 to
26 were used to determine the maximum temperature of the unexposed surface of the fire
panel. Thermocouples 14 to 16 were used to determine the maximum temperature of the
unexposed surface of the door frame.
During the test, the temperatures and pressures were continuously monitored and were
recorded at one minute intervals.
The roving thermocouple was also used, if considered necessary, to determine
compliance with the insulation criterion.
Cotton pads and gap gauges were used to determine compliance with the integrity criteria.
The specimen was also monitored for the occurrence of any sustained flaming on the
unexposed surface which would result on failure to comply with the integrity criteria.
A steel ruler was used to measure the lateral deflection of the specimen during the test.

8. Performance Criteria
The performance of the specimen was assessed against the criteria for integrity and
insulation in accordance with BS EN 1634-1: 2014+A1:2018 and BS EN 1364-1:2015. The
performance criteria for failure were given as follows:
Integrity (E): The test specimen continues to maintain its separating function during the test
without either:
a) causing the ignition of a cotton pad when applied; or
b) permitting the penetration of a gap gauge as follows:
i) whether the 6 mm gap gauge can be passed through the test specimen such that the
gauge projects into the furnace, and can be moved a distance of 150 mm along the gap;
or
ii) whether the 25 mm gap gauge can passed through the specimen such that the gauge
projects into the furnace; or
c) resulting in sustained flaming for a period of time greater than 10 seconds.
Insulation (I): The test specimen continues to maintain its separating function during the test
without developing temperatures on its unexposed surface which either:
a) increase the average temperature above the initial average temperature by more than
140oC; or
b) i) increase at any location of dry wall partition system (including the roving
thermocouple) above the initial average temperature by more than 180℃.
ii) increase at any location (including the roving thermocouple) above the initial average
temperature by more than 180oC [Supplementary procedure – Classification I1].
The performance criteria “insulation” shall automatically be assumed not to be satisfied when
the “integrity” criterion ceases to be satisfied.

Materials and construction - General:
Unless otherwise stated in the following text the materials and construction of the tested
assembly shall be the same as that tested.
The results of the fire test are directly applicable to similar constructions where one or
more of the changes listed below are made and the construction continues to comply with
the appropriate design code for its stiffness and stability.
a) The height of the construction may be decreased.
b) The thickness of the construction may be increased.
c) The thickness of component materials may be increased.
d) The linear dimensions of boards or panels but not thickness may be decreased.
e) The stud spacing may be decreased.
f) The distance of fixing centres of boards or panels may be decreased.
g) The number of fixings used to attach the steel frame to supporting frame may increased
and the distance between fixings may be decreased.
Extension of width: The width of an identical construction may be increased.
Doorset:
Materials and construction - General: Unless otherwise stated in the following text, the
materials and construction of the doorset or openable window shall be the same as that
tested. The number of leaves and the mode of operation (e.g. sliding, single action or
double action) shall not be changed.
Specific restrictions on materials and construction:
a) Metal constructions: The dimensions of metal wrap around frames may be increased
to accommodate increased supporting construction thickness. The thickness of the metal
may also be increased by up to 25%. The type of metal shall not be changed from that
tested. The number of stiffening elements for uninsulated doors and the number and type of
fixings of such members within the panel fabrication may be increased proportionally with
the increase in size but shall not be reduced.

b) Glazed constructions: The type of glass and the edge fixing technique, including type
and number of fixings per metre of perimeter, shall not be changed from those tested. The
number of glazed apertures and each of the dimensions (width and height) of glass may be
decreased by a maximum of 25% in proportion with door size reductions but shall not be
increased. The distance between the edge of glazing and the perimeter of the door leaf, or
the distance between glazed apertures shall not be reduced.
Decorative finished: Paint finish are acceptable and may be added to door leaves or
frames.
Decorative laminates: Decorative laminates and timber veneers up to 1.5 mm thickness
may be added to the faces (but not the edges) of doors.
Fixings: The number of fixings per unit length used to attach doorset to supporting
constructions may be increased but shall not be decreased and the distance between
fixings may be reduced but shall not be increased.
Building hardware: The number of hinges and dog bolts may be increased but shall not be
decreased.
Permissible size variations - General: Doorsets of sizes different from those of the tested
specimen are permitted within certain limitations but the variations are dependent on
product type and the length of time that the performance criteria are fulfilled.
Specific size variations: Unlimited size reduction is permitted for all types except insulated
metal doors where a reduction to 50% width and 75% height of the tested specimen is the
limit of variation. Size increase may be permitted, depending on the required classification
period, in line with 13.3 of BS EN 1634-1:2014+A1:2018.
Other changes: For smaller doorset sizes the relative positioning of movement restrictors
(e.g. hinges, latches, etc) shall remain the same as tested or any change to the distances
between them will be limited to the same percentage reduction as the decrease of test
specimen size.
Asymmetrical doorsets - General: BS EN 1363-1 states that for separating elements
required to be fire resisting from both sides, two test specimens shall be tested (one from
each direction) unless the element is fully symmetrical, i.e. the construction of the doorset is
identical on both sides of a centre line when viewed in plan (from above). However, in some
cases it is possible to develop rules whereby the fire resistance of an asymmetrical door
assembly tested in one direction can apply when the fire exposure is from the other
direction. The possibility to develop such rules increases if the consideration is limited to
certain types of door assembly and on the criteria being applicable (e.g. integrity only doors)
The following rules represent the minimum level of common agreement which shall be
followed. The rationale behind the rules is given in Annex C of BS EN 1634-1:
2014+A1:2018.

11. Limitation
The results only relate to the behaviour of the specimen of the element of construction
under the particular conditions of the test. They are not intended to be the sole criteria for
assessing the potential fire performance of the element in use, nor do they reflect the actual
behaviour in fires.
This report details the method of construction, the test conditions and the results obtained
when the specific element of construction described herein was tested following the
procedure outlined in BS EN 1363-1, and where appropriate BS EN 1363-2. Any significant
deviation with respect to size, constructional details, edge or end conditions other than
those allowed under the field of direct application in the relevant test method is not cover by
this report.
Because of the nature of fire resistance testing and consequent difficulty in quantifying the
uncertainty of measurement of fire resistance, it is not possible to provide a stated degree
of accuracy of the result.
Supporting constructions - General: The fire resistance of a door assembly tested in
one form of standard supporting construction may or may not apply when it is mounted in
other types of construction. However, in some cases it is possible for the result of a test on
a particular type of door assembly tested in one form of standard supporting construction to
be applicable to that door assembly when mounted in a different type of standard
supporting construction.
Specific rules: For insulated metal door leaves hung in metal frames, there is no
applicability of results in rigid standard supporting construction to flexible constructions or
vice versa. To cover rigid and flexible types, tests shall be undertaken in each type of
standard supporting construction.
