Field of application of the classification
E) The field of application of the classification is identical to the field of application resulting from the test(s) and/or from the extended application process. (51 If different end use applications are envisaged for a particular product, this may result in different classifications.
In considering substrates and backings which can be applied in practice, EN 13238 specifies standard substrates for use in tests and also gives rules for the field of application of test results obtained using these standard substrates. Use of these substrates is not mandatory. The product may also be applied in end use condition or with a non-standard substrate representative of end use.
The applicability of test results using standard substrates given in EN 13238 is included in that standard.
Where non-standard substrates are used, the test result is limited to that same substrate in its end use application.
The applicability of test results obtained for products attached to a substrate is limited to the method of attachment used in the test. If generic adhesives are used, the results apply for all adhesives of the same type, applied in similar quantities. 'Generic' refers to adhesives giving the same or higher reaction to fire classification to the product in question, as that tested. Subject to the above, ‘generic’ may also apply to adhesives of a defined type (e.g. polyvinylpyrolidone, polyvinylacetate). If specific adhesives are used, the results apply only for the specific adhesives.
The reaction to fire classification may be valid for products within the same family, where family is defined as a range of products within defined limits of variability of its parameters, e.g. thickness, density, end use application, E) for which the reaction to fire classification is proven to be unchanged , or for which the field of application is extended in an extended application report
NOTE Rules for direct and extended application are given in CEN/TS 15117.
