Gaps,closing forces were measured as specified in BS EN 1634-1: 2014+A1:2018, Clause 10.1.2.and 10.1.3. The doorset was subjected to final setting as specified in BS EN1634-1:2014+A1:2018,Clause 10.1.4.
6.2Fire resistance test
The test was conducted in accordance with the procedure specified in BS EN 1634-1: 2 0 1 4 + A 1 : 2 0 1 8 ,Clause 10.2.
The ambient temperature of test area was measured at commencement of the test.
The furnace temperature was controled so that the average furnace temperature and tolerances complied with the requirements of BS EN 1363-1:2020,Clause 5.1. Nine furnace thermocouples were used to determine the average furnace temperature.
The furnace pressure was controlled so that it complied with the requirements of BS EN 1363-1:2020,Clause 5.2. The calculated furnace pressure relative to the laboratory atmosphereatthetopofthedoorsetwas 1 7 . 0 ± 3 Pa.
The temperature of the unexposed surface was monitored by means of twenty-six thermocouples fixed to the unexposed surface of the specimen.Thermocouple1 to 5 were used to determine the average temperature of the unexposed surface of the door leaf. Thermocouples 17 to 21 was used to determine the average temperature of the unexposed surface of the fire panel.Thermocouple 1 to 5,10 to 13 were used to determine the maximum temperature (normal procedure) of the unexposed surface of the doorleaf.Thermocouples6to9were usedto determine the maximum temperature (supplementary procedure) of the unexposed surface of the door leaf.Thermocouple 17 to 26 were used to determine the maximum temperature of the unexposed surface of the fire panel.Thermocouples 14 to 16 were used to determine the maximum temperature of the unexposed surface of the door frame. D
During the test, the temperatures and pressures were continuously monitored and were recordedatoneminuteintervals.
Theroving thermocouple was also used,if considered necessary,to determine compliancewith the insulation criterion.
Cotton pads and gap gauges were used to determine compliance with the integrity criteria. The specimen was also monitored for the occurrence of any sustained flaming on the unexposed surface which would result on failure to comply with the integrity criteria.
A steel ruler was used to measure the lateral deflection of the specimen during the test.

8.Performance Criteria
The performance of the specimen was assessed against the criteria for integrity and insulation in accordance with BS EN 1634-1: 2 0 1 4 + A 1 : 2 0 1 8 and BS EN 1364-1:2015.The performancecriteria forfailurewere givenas follows:
Integrity (E): The test specimen continues to maintain its separating function during the test without either:
a) causing the ignition of a cotton pad when applied; or b) permitting the penetration of a gap gauge as follows: i) whether the 6 ~ \mathsf {mm } gap gauge can be passed through the test specimen such that the gauge projects into the furnace,and can be moved a distance of 1 5 0 ~ \mathsf {mm } along the gap; or ii) whether the 2 5 ~ \mathsf {mm } gap gauge can passed through the specimen such that the gauge projects into the furnace; or c)resulting in sustained flaming fora period of time greater than 10 seconds.
Insulation (l):The test specimen continues to maintain its separating function during the test
without developing temperatures on itsunexposed surface which either: a)increase the average temperature above the initial average temperature by more than 1 4 0 ^ { \circ } \mathsf { C } or b)i)increase at any location of dry wall partition system (including the roving thermocouple) above the initial average temperaturebymore than 1 8 0 ^ { \circ } { C } : ii) increase at any location (including the roving thermocouple) above the initial average temperature bymore than \boldsymbol { 1 8 0 ^ { \circ } C } [Supplementary procedure- Classification l1].
The performance criteria“insulation”shall automatically be assumed not to be satisfied when the“integrity"criterion ceases to be satisfied.

e) The stud spacing may be decreased.
f)Thedistance of fixing centresof boards or panels maybe decreased.
g)The number of fixings used to attach the steel frame to supporting frame may increase and the distance between fixings may be decreased.
Extension of width: The width of an identical construction may be increased.
Doorset:
Materials and construction-General: Unless otherwise stated in the following text, the materials and construction of the doorset or openable window shallbe the same as that tested.The number of leaves and the mode of operation (e.g. sliding,single action or double action) shall not be changed.
Specific restrictions on materials and construction:
a) Metal constructions:The dimensions of metal wrap around frames may be increased to accommodate increased supporting construction thickness.The thickness of the metal mayalso be increasedbyupto 2 5 % .Thetypeof metal shallnotbechangedfromthat tested.The number of stiffening elements for uninsulated doors and the number and type of fixings of such members within the panel fabrication may be increased proportionally with the increase in size but shall not be reduced.

b) Glazed constructions: The type of glass and the edge fixing technique,including type and number of fixings per metre of perimeter, shall not be changed from those tested.The number of glazed apertures and each of the dimensions (width and height) of glass may be decreasedbyamaximumof 2 5 % in proportion with door size reductions but shall notbe increased.The distance between the edge of glazing and the perimeter of the door leaf,or thedistancebetween glazedaperturesshallnotbereduced.
Decorative finished: Paint finish are acceptable and may be added to door leaves or frames.
Decorative laminates: Decorative laminates and timber veneers up to 1 . 5 ~ \mathsf {mm } thickness maybe added to the faces (but not the edges) of doors.
Fixings: The number of fixings per unit length used to atach doorset to supporting constructions may be increased but shall not be decreased and the distance between fixingsmaybe reduced butshall notbe increased.
Building hardware: The number of hinges and dog bolts may be increased but shall not be decreased.
Permissible size variations - General: Doorsets of sizes different from those of the tested specimen are permitted within certain limitations but the variations are dependent on product type and the length of time that the performance criteria are fulfilled.
Specific size variations: Unlimited size reduction is permitted for alltypes except insulated metal doors where a reduction to 50 % width and 7 5 % height of the tested specimen is the limit of variation.Size increase may be permited,depending on the required classification period,in line with 13.3 of BS EN 1 6 3 4 - 1 : 2 0 1 4 + \mathsf { A } 1 : 2 0 1 8
Other changes: For smaller doorset sizes the relative positioning of movement restrictors (e.g.hinges,latches,etc) shallremain the same as tested orany change to the distances between them will be limited to the same percentage reduction as the decrease of test specimen size.
Asymmetrical doorsets - General: BS EN 1363-1 states that for separating elements required to be fire resisting from both sides,two test specimens shall be tested (one from each direction) unless the element is fuly symmetrical,i.e.the construction of the doorset is identical on both sides of acentre line when viewed in plan (fromabove). However,in some cases it is possible to develop rules whereby the fire resistance of anasymmetrical door assembly tested in one direction can apply when the fire exposure is from the other direction.The possibility to develop such rules increases if the consideration is limited to certain types of door assembly and on the criteria being applicable (e.g.integrity only doors) The following rules represent the minimum level of common agreement which shall be followed. The rationale behind the rules is given in Annex C of BS EN 1634-1: 2014+A1:2018.

Supporting constructions -General: The fire resistance of a door assembly tested in one form of standard supporting construction may or may not apply when it is mounted in other types of construction. However,insome cases it is possible for the result ofa test on a particular type of door assembly tested in one form of standard supporting construction to be applicable to that door assembly when mounted in a different type of standard supporting construction.
Specific rules: For insulated metal door leaves hung in metal frames, there is no applicability of results in rigid standard supporting construction to flexible constructions or vice versa.To cover rigid and flexible types,tests shall be undertaken in each type of standard supporting construction.
11.Limitation
Theresults only relate to the behaviour of the specimen of the element of construction under the particular conditions of the test.Theyare not intended to be the sole criteria for assessing the potential fire performance of the element in use,nor do they reflect the actual behaviour in fires. X
This report details the method of construction,the test conditions and the results obtained when the specific element of construction described herein was tested folowing the procedure outlined in BS EN 1363-1,and where appropriate BS EN 1363-2.Any significant deviation with respect to size,constructional details,edge or end conditions other than those allowed under the field of direct application in the relevant test method is not cover by this report. 1
Because of the nature of fire resistance testing and consequent difficulty in quantifying the uncertainty of measurement of fire resistance,it is not possible to provide a stated degree of accuracy of the result.
