Combination of parameter variations
An extended application analysis shall first of all consider each variation individually; the analysis shall then consider the effect of combining several of the relevant variations in accordance with the rules of the extended application standard.
Procedure for undertaking extended application
This is illustrated in Figure 2. The following steps shall be followed when undertaking extended application analysis:
define the product family;
collect the evidence from the various sources;
apply the rule(s) from the appropriate European standard using interpolation/extrapolation as appropriate/required; it is essential that there is clear justification of a combination of parameter changes;
establish if the evidence available is sufficient to support the fire performance wanted for the defined product family (if not, decide on what action is needed);
report the extended application analysis in accordance with Clause 6.
