Fire can kill, maim and injure people. It can also seriously damage buildings, businesses and lives. Products and materials all react to fire in different ways and we at SMART understand this
Fire test Standards list

NF P 92-503 – Electrical burner test used for flexible materials

EN 50268-1 - Measurement of smoke density of cables burning under defined conditions
ISO 5659-2 – Smoke generation. Determination of optical density by a single chamber test
Construction Products Directive (CPD)
The practical implementation of the CPD heralds a major change in the placing of construction products on the European market. Under the CPD, products must conform to the relevant European Technical Specification which in turn calls up European tests for fire and other properties. Satisfying these requirements and demonstrating compliance (attesting conformity) allows a manufacturer to CE mark his product.
New European fire test standards
The new European fire test standards (ENs) that have been produced have been adopted, unchanged, as British Standards. This applies to all the other countries in the EU. This means that e.g. BS EN ISO 1182 will have technical and editorial equivalence with DIN EN 1182 and NF EN 1182.
Fire resistance
BS 476-20: Method for determination of the fire resistance of elements of construction (general principles)
BS 476-22: Method for determination of the fire resistance of elements of non-loadbearing elements of construction
BS 476-22: Method for determination of the fire resistance of ventilation ducts.
EN 13501-2: Classification using data from fire resistance tests, excluding ventilation
