EN 13501-1 Fire classification of construction products and building elements part1:Classification using data from reaction to fire tests

1.Scope

This European Standard provides the reaction to fire classification procedure for all construction products, including products incorporated within building elements.

Products are considered in relation to their end use application.

This document applies to three categories, which are treated separately in European Standard:
— construction products, excluding floorings and linear pipe thermal insulation products;
Floorings;
Linear pipe thermal insulation products.
NOTE : The treatment of some families of products is still under review and can necessitate amendments to this European Standard(see European Commission Decision 2000/147/EC).

2.Normative references

The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cite applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
