EN 1047-2:2009/FprA1

Secure storage units - Classification and methods of test for resistance to fire - Part 2: Data rooms and data container EN 1047-2:2009/FprA1

Scope

Data rooms and data containers are fire protection security products whose purpose is to protect temperature and humidity sensitive data media and hardware systems from the effects of fire. These fire resistance products do not provide any defined protection against burglary.

Based on these objectives, the CEN/TC 263 Working Group WG2 Fire Resistance unanimously noted at its meeting on 8 March 2012 that the requirement for a certified high security lock according to EN 1300 for data rooms and data containers suggests protection that is not provided and does not reflect the requirements of the market.

For the reasons explained above, WG2 unanimously recommended deletion of the requirements for a certified high security lock according to EN 1300 without replacement from EN 1047-2:2009. In the interest of the market, this change in this European Standard shall be implemented very soon via an Amendment to EN 1047-2:2009. The necessary decision shall be taken in a 3 months shortened UAP. The necessary application shall be filed with the CEN/TC 263 via DIN.

The draft for Amendment A1 to EN 1047-2:2009 shall be presented to the CEN/TC 263 together with the application for changes in this European Standard.
