The British fire department requires building owners of structures using composite aluminum panels (core material being polyethylene) on their exterior walls to submit a list of buildings exceeding 18 meters in height and complete the inspection. In the UK, the use of aluminum-plastic composite panels in exterior wall decoration must meet the fire performance requirements specified in British Standard BS 8414. BS 8414 is a series of standards divided into two parts: BS 8414-1 tests the fire performance of building exterior covering systems using masonry walls as base walls, and BS 8414-2 tests the fire performance of steel frame building exterior covering systems. As a surface decorative material, aluminum-plastic panels can form covers composite insulation systems with other insulation materials. In this case, the testing and evaluation of the combustion performance of aluminum-plastic panels as part of the exterior wall decoration will be more complex, as it needs to consider the overall fire performance when combined with other materials. In the UK, for the fire performance testing of such composite systems, the BS 8414 standard is typically referred to. This standard tests the entire system as a whole, simulating actual usage environments during testing, including considering the impact of cavity structures on fire spread. Through this testing, the fire performance of composite systems, including aluminum-plastic panels, can be accurately measured.
The fire performance test methods for BS 8414-1 and BS 8414-2 exterior wall insulation systems, Nanjing Smart Company collaborates with multiple UKAS accredited laboratories in the UK, professionally providing BS 8414-1 and BS 8414-2 test reports with UKAS accreditation. Nanjing Smart provides BS8414 tests for insulation materials such as aluminum-plastic boards and aluminum honeycomb boards, consultation phone: +86-25-8658 3475.
The fire performance test method for exterior wall insulation systems in the UK, BS 8414 "Fire Performance Test Method for Exterior Wall Insulation Systems," consists of two parts: BS 8414-1 is the fire performance test for exterior wall insulation systems using masonry walls as the base wall; BS 8414-2 is the fire performance test for exterior wall insulation systems in steel frame buildings. Exterior wall insulation systems that meet the requirements of BS8414 standards can be used in buildings taller than 18m.
BS 8414-1 Fire performance of external cladding systems-Part 1: Test method for non-loadbearing external cladding systems applied to the face of the building
BS 8414-2 Fire performance of external cladding systems-Part 2: Test method for non-loadbearing external cladding systems fixed to and supported by a structural steel frame.
BS 9414 Fire performance of external cladding systems. The application of results from BS 8414-1 and BS 8414-2 tests
BS 8414-1:2020 Fire performance of external cladding systems. Test method for non-loadbearing external cladding systems fixed to, and supported by, a masonry substrate
What is the content of BS 8414-1? BS 8414-1 is the first part of multiple series providing a test method to determine the fire performance characteristics of non-load-bearing exterior cladding systems, rain screen cladding systems, and exterior wall insulation systems when fixed to and supported by them. The masonry substrate is exposed to external fire under controlled conditions. Note: This section of BS 84141 does not include: the performance of glass or its supporting frame for glass window openings; the overall configuration of buildings containing additional windows, doors, balconies, or auxiliary penetrations; adjacent buildings exposed to fire radiant heat. Who does BS 8414-1 serve? BS 8414-1 Non-load-bearing exterior cladding system test method is applicable to: fire nvestigators; manufacturers of exterior cladding systems, rain screen exterior cladding systems, and exterior wall insulation systems; testing laboratories involved in determining the fire performance of exterior cladding systems; construction industry; civil engineers. Why use BS 8414-1?
BS 8414-2: What is the fire-resistant performance of exterior walls in 2020? BS 8414-2 is the second part of a multi-series standard, providing a testing method to determine the fire-resistant performance characteristics of non-load-bearing exterior cladding systems fixed to and supported by a steel frame structure and exposed to external fire under controlled conditions. BS 8414-2 can help you evaluate and improve the fire-resistant performance of non-load-bearing exterior cladding systems fixed to and supported by steel frames. Note: BS 8414-2 does not apply to non-load-bearing exterior rain screen cladding systems applied to building surfaces. BS 8414-2 does not test the overall configuration of buildings with additional windows, doors, or auxiliary penetrations, nor does it test the exposure to radiant heat from fires in adjacent buildings. Who is BS 8414-2 fire-resistant performance for exterior walls suitable for?
BS 8414-2:2020 Fire performance of external cladding systems. Test method for non-loadbearing external cladding systems fixed to, and supported by, a structural steel frame
