Scope

This document covers hinged or pivoted doorsets and door assemblies with composite/polymeric based leaves and / or composite/polymeric door frames. This document also covers timber-based door leaves hung within composite / polymeric door frames. Composite doorsets with both or either the leaf or the frame manufactured from a composite/polymeric material are covered by this document. It prescribes the methodology for extending the application of test results obtained from fire resistance test(s) conducted in accordance with EN 1634-1 and / or EN 1634-3. This document covers doorsets with elements which are comprised of composite / polymeric material.

Subject to the completion of the appropriate test or tests, the extended application can cover all or some of the following examples:

— integrity (E), integrity & radiation (EW) or integrity & insulation (EI1 or EI2) & Sa (Sa3 or Sa4) ambient temperature smoke control classifications;

— Glazed elements including vision panels and framed glazed doorsets;

— Glazed sidepanel or fanlight connected by transom/mullion or coupled frames;

— Solid (Non vision) sidepanel, or overpanel connected by transom/mullion or coupled frames;

— Items of building hardware;

— Decorative finishes;

— Intumescent, smoke, draught or acoustic seals;

— Alternative supporting construction(s) and fixing techniques.

The effect on the Classification ‘C’ for the doorsets following an extended application process is not addressed in this document.

This document does not cover horizontal doorsets.

Refer to figure A.1 for example illustrations of composite doorsets covered by this document.
