4.   DIN 4102-1 fire test to building material - Test Method

 

When the material s fire behaviour has been determined in accordance with the standard, it divides into:

Building material class

Designation

Class A

A1

Non-combustible materials

A2

Class B

B1

Not easily flammable

B2

Flammable

B3

Easily flammable

 

Class A

 

A1: Materials may be classed as A1 materials if they:

- Pass the test specified according the standard corresponding parts

- meet the requirements for class A2 materials

 

A2: Materials may be classed as A2 materials if they:

- Pass the test specified according the standard corresponding parts

- Pass the test specified DIN 4102-16

 

Class B

 

> B1: All materials, except flooring, may be classed as B1 materials if they

- Withstand the test specified in DIN 4102-16 using the ‘Brandschacht’ apparatus specified in DIN 4102-15

- Meet the requirements for class B2 materials.

 

B2: Materials may be classed as B2 materials if they

- Pass the test specified according the standard corresponding parts

- Flooring materials may be assigned to material class B2 if they meet at least the requirements for class T-b as in DIN 66081.

 

B3: Combustible materials which cannot be classed as B1 or B2 materials shall be classed as B3 materials
