General information on the four test methods in ENV 1187:2002

All four test methods have been included in ENV 1187:2002 following acceptance within the EC Fire Regulators’ Group and the Standing Committee for Construction that it was not possible at this stage to reach agreement on a single test method. The principal test conditions are:

  • test 1 - with burning brands;

  • test 2 - with burning brands and wind;

  • test 3 - with burning brands, wind and supplementary radiant heat;

  • test 4 - two stage test method incorporating burning brands, wind and supplementary radiant heat.

The tests assess the fire spread across the external surface of the roof, the fire spread within the roof, the fire penetration (tests 1, 3 and 4) and the production of flaming droplets or debris falling from the underside of the roof or from the exposed surface (tests 1, 3 and 4).

Tests 2 and 3 are not applicable to geometrically irregular roofs or roof mounted appliances, e.g. ventilators and dome lights.

Tests 1, 3 and 4 are carried out on a roof construction, test 2 is done on a roof covering with its substrate.Annex В
