Fire Tests on Building materials and structures-Part 20. Method of test for determination of the fire resistance of elements of construction (General principles)

BS 476-20 Fire Resistance Test to Building Material -Standard Brief

The objective of determining fire resistance, as described in the part and the associated parts of BS 476, is to assess the behaviour of a specimen of an element of building construction when subjected to defined heating and pressure conditions. The method provides a means of quantifying the ability of an element to withstand exposure to high temperatures, by setting criteria by which the loadbearing capacity, the fire containment (integrity)and the thermal transmittance (insulation) functions can be adjudged.

A representative sample of the elements is exposed to a laboratory test for the determination of fire resistance of elements of construction.
