CEN/TC 127 Fire safety in buildings

European Norm

Scope

This test method specifies a method for determining the fire resistance of cavity barriers and is to be used in conjunction with EN 1363-1.

This standard is applicable to non-loadbearing vertically or horizontally oriented cavity barriers, which are used to provide fire separation to un non-compartmented spaces. Cavity barriers are specifically designed to provide a separating function only, which is why they do not resemble walls or undertake the same function. They may be insulating or un non-insulating. Typical uses of cavity barriers are: between leaves of masonry walls to prevent vertical or horizontal fire spread though walls, underneath raised access floors to prevent horizontal fire spread in the floor void and above suspended ceilings/loft spaces to prevent horizontal fire spread.
