What is BS EN 1364-2 - Fire resistance tests for non-loadbearing elements - Ceilings about?
BS EN 1364-2 is the second part of the multi-series standard that is applicable to the fire resistance of ceilings.
This part of EN 1364 specifies a method for determining the fire resistance of ceilings, which in themselves possess fire resistance independent of any building element above them. This European Standard is used in conjunction with BS EN 1363-1 .
The contribution to fire resistance which a suspended ceiling might provide as a protective membrane to loadbearing elements is determined using the procedure given in EN 13381-1 . The fire resistance of loadbearing floors in conjunction with a suspended ceiling can also be assessed by using tests according to EN 1365-2 .
