Description / Abstract:
This International Standard specifies a method of determining
the fire resistance of non-load-bearing separating elements made of
fibre reinforced plastics (FRP) when exposed to heating on one
face.
It is applicable to FRP products for which the end-use
application is smaller than the full-scale fire test specimen
specified in ISO 834-1. Fire barriers in transportation
applications are a common example, since the end-use dimensions of
the barrier products are often smaller than those specified in ISO
834-1.
This test is, in general, applicable to FRP products which have
an essentially flat surface and can have stiffening members. This
includes sandwich-panel-type structures in which the skins consist
of FRP.
CAUTION- The attention of all persons concerned
with managing and carrying out this fire-resistance test is drawn
to the fact that fire testing is hazardous and there is a
possibility of toxic and/or harmful smoke and gases being evolved
during the test. Mechanical and operational hazards can also arise
during the construction of the test elements or structures, their
testing and disposal of test residues.
It is essential that an assessment of all potential
hazards and risks to health is made and safety precautions are
identified and provided. It is also essential that written safety
instructions are issued, that appropriate training is given to
relevant personnel and that laboratory personnel ensure that they
follow written safety instructions at all times.
