EN 16034 - Pedestrian doorsets, industrial, commercial, garage doors - Performance characteristics and fire resisting and/or smoke control characteristics
EN 16034 is the harmonised standard that defines the requirements for the fire and/or smoke performance of gates and doors in accordance with the Construction Products Regulation (EU).
Scopo
Ensure that the product:
- limits the spread of fire (EI, E, EW),
- prevents the spread of smoke (Sa, S200),
- is certified and CE marked with official tests.
EN 16034 is mandatory for the marketing of fire or smoke doors in buildings subject to fire regulations.
Scope of Application
- Internal and external pedestrian doors;
- Industrial and commercial doors and gates;
- Garage doors.
(both manual and motorised doors, provided they have a fire
compartmentalisation or smoke control function).
Main requirements
- E = resistance to hot gases and flames (integrity);
- I = thermal insulation;
- EW = limited radiation;
- Sa = cold smoke (standard environments),
- S200 = hot smoke (critical situations);
- Performance duration: 15, 30, 60, 90, 120 minutes, depending on classification;
- Products must be tested according to EN 1634-1 (fire) and possibly EN 1634-3 (smoke).
Fire resistance:
Smoke tightness:
In practice, EN 16034 cannot be used on its own: it is a complementary
standard that must be applied together with a product standard:
- with EN 14351-1 (for external pedestrian doors);
- with EN 13241 (for industrial gates and doors);
- with EN 14351-2 (soon for internal doors).
EN 16034 is essential for the CE marking of fire doors and gates, which
is mandatory throughout the EU for the intended uses.
