This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by July 2014, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by July 2014. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 1634-1:2008. The following changes have been made since the previous edition (not exhaustive): — definitions updated to include Operable fabric curtain; — removal of requirement for sponsor declaration on gap values; — changes to gap measuring requirements in Clause 7; — increased reference to Extended Application; — modifications to unexposed face thermocouples in Clause 9; — redefined temperature measurement requirements in Clause 11 for the normal procedure; — inclusion of openable windows and operable fabric curtains in Direct Application; — changes to extended application for gaps in Direct Application; — changes to figures. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association. EN 1634, “Fire resistance and smoke control tests for door and shutter assemblies, openable windows and elements of building hardware“ consists of the following parts: — Part 1: Fire resistance test for door and shutter assemblies and openable windows (the present document); — Part 2: Fire resistance characterisation test for elements of building hardware; — Part 3: Smoke control test for door and shutter assemblies. According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom. BS EN 1634-1:2014 EN 1634-1:2014 (E) 5 Introduction Caution The attention of all persons concerned with managing and carrying out this fire resistance test is drawn to the fact that fire testing may be hazardous and that there is a possibility that toxic and/or harmful smoke and gases may be evolved during the test. Mechanical and operational hazards may also arise during the construction of the test elements or structures, their testing and disposal of test residues. It is imperative that an assessment of all potential hazards and risks to health is made and that safety precautions are identified and provided. Written safety instructions need to be issued. Appropriate training should be given to relevant personnel. Laboratory personnel should ensure that they follow written safety instructions at all times. BS EN 1634-1:2014 EN 1634-1:2014 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a method for determining the fire resistance of door and shutter assemblies and openable windows designed for installation within openings incorporated in vertical separating elements, such as: a) hinged and pivoted doors; b) horizontally sliding and vertically sliding doors including articulated sliding doors and sectional doors; c) folding doors, sliding folding doors /shutters; d) tilting doors; e) rolling shutter doors; f) openable windows; g) operable fabric curtains. This European Standard is used in conjunction with EN 1363-1. The testing of fire dampers is covered by EN 1366-2. The testing of closures for conveyor systems is covered by EN 1366-7. By prior agreement with the test sponsor, additional information may be gained for individual elements of building hardware in order to fulfil the performance criteria identified in EN 1634-2. Based on the observations recorded during the test, the results may be presented in a separate report which should be in accordance with the requirements of EN 1634-2. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.
