Scope

This standard test methodology and resulting field of direct application is applicable to linear joint fire seal materials used to seal around fire door sets which have been tested to ISO 3008-1.

This test methodology uses a smaller scale fire resistance furnace than that prescribed in ISO 3008-1.

This test methodology is only to be used to evaluate alternate linear joint fire seal materials used to seal the gap between a fire door frame and the supporting construction, if:

a) The fire door frame, doors and supporting construction have already been successfully tested to ISO 3008-1 and the gap between the door frame and the supporting construction does not exceed 6 mm, provided the door and frame assembly does not permit the penetration of a gap gauge, as specified in ISO 834-1:1999, 8.4.2; or

b) The fire door frame, doors and supporting construction have already been successfully tested to ISO 3008-1 and during the full scale fire resistance test, deflection of the supporting construction and the fire door frame was found to be less than 100 mm.

Purpose

Measure the performance of gap seal between fire door frame and supporting construction without the need for a full scale ISO 3008-1 fire test.
