TEST ASSEMBLY
The test assembly comprised a nominal 3200 mm x 3200 mm x 140 mm thick
hollow core concrete block wall incorporating two single leaf particleboard core
doorsets.
TEST SPECIMEN
The test specimens comprised two single leaf particle board core doorsets
referred to as Door A and Door B for the purposes of this test report. Further

Supporting Construction
Description 140 mm thick hollow core concrete block wall.
Door Sill Four courses of solid concrete blocks 390 mm x 190 mm x 90 mm with
the top course laid perpendicular (except two half end blocks) to the wall
to form a sill for the doorsets. A screed of premixed mortar was applied
over the concrete blocks to a thickness of approximately 5mm to reduce
the door threshold clearance from the base of the door leaf to the sill.
Blocks above sill Eleven courses of hollow core concrete blocks were laid on the sill to
form the openings and an additional four courses were laid above the
openings including one lintel beam course which included a single D16
reinforcement rod with premixed concrete filling the void.
Sealant Lorient intumescent mastic was used to seal the gap (backed by
Rockwool) between the edge of the door frames and the openings in the
concrete block wall on both sides.
3 TEST PROCEDURE
STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
The test was performed in general accordance with the requirements of
BS 476: Part 20: 1987 and BS 476: Part 22: 1987 Section 6 as appropriate for
insulated doorsets, other than the variations stated below.
The furnace pressure varied more than as prescribed by BS 476: Part 22: 1987
during the period of 30-35 minutes test duration but was below that prescribed
(maximum pressure level variation +2 Pa). The deviation was only minor
(pressure average was -3 Pa) and for a short period, therefore it is considered
that this variation would not have significantly affected the results of the
fire-resistance test.
PRE-TEST CONDITIONING
The specimen was stored in the test laboratory and was subjected to indoor
ambient normal laboratory conditions for 48 hours prior to testing.
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE
The ambient temperature at the start of the test was 29°C and gradually
increased to a maximum of 30°C at the end of the test.
TEST DURATION
The test was terminated after approximately 79 minutes after agreement between
the test laboratory and applicant.
Cotton pads and gap gauges were available during the test to assess the
performance under the criteria for integrity up to unexposed face temperatures of
300°C for both Doorsets. After that time gap gauges only were available to
assess the performance under the criteria for integrity.
4 TEST MEASUREMENTS
SPECIMEN TEMPERATURES
Specimen temperature data is provided in A4.3 and Table A4.1 and A4.2 in
Appendix 4.
DEFLECTION MEASUREMENTS
Deflection measurement data is provided in A4.4 in Appendix 4.
OBSERVATIONS
A table that includes observations of the significant behaviour of the specimen
and details of the occurrence of the various performance criteria specified in
BS 476: Part 22: 1987 is provided in Appendix 2. Photographs of the specimen
are included in Appendix 5.
5 TEST RESULTS
The specimen achieved the following performance when tested in general
accordance with BS 476: Part 22: 1987 Section 6 as appropriate.
DOOR A
Loadbearing Capacity Not applicable
65 minutes
Integrity Failure by sustained flaming by virtue of flames
on unexposed side at bottom hinge corner of
door.
65 minutes
Insulation Insulation failure deemed to occur at time of
integrity failure.
DOOR B
TEST LIMITATIONS
The results of this fire test may be used to directly assess fire hazard, but it
should be recognized that a single test method will not provide a full assessment
of fire hazard under all fire conditions. The results only relate to the behaviour of
the specimen of the element of the construction under the particular conditions of
the test; they are not intended to be the sole criteria for assessing the potential
fire performance of the element in use nor do they necessarily reflect the actual
behaviour in fires.
UNCERTAINTY OF MEASUREMENT
Because of the nature of fire resistance testing and the consequent difficulty in
quantifying the uncertainty of measurement of fire resistance, it is not possible to
provide a stated degree of accuracy of the result.
