Flame Retardant Products Flame Retardant Products 22 national (class 1 & class 0) vs. european (euroclass) classifications The fire performance for all materials to be used in permanent constructions, including wood and wood based panel products, are stated in Approved Document Part B to the Building Regulations of England and Wales, currently allowing the use of fire classifications to either BS 476 British Standard fire tests or European Classification to BS EN 13501-1, based on European fire tests. Similar changes in the legislation for Northern Ireland and Scotland also allow use of either classification. Where a particular product standard exists for a specific material (e.g. BS EN 13986 for wood based panels or BS EN 14915 for solid wood panelling and cladding), compliance is mandatory if CE marking is required and only European fire tests can be used to provide fire classifications. British standards Class 1 and Class 0 have been the traditional fire performances required in the UK for a number of years. Class 1 (BS476 Part 7) is commonly referred to as the Surface Spread of Flame. Class 0 (BS476 Parts 6 & 7) is more stringent and includes Class 1 as above but also Part 6 which is known as the ‘Fire Propagation Index’ which measures the heat released when timber burns. european classifications Whilst we are currently in a transitional stage between British Standards and the new European classifications, eventually, at some point in the next few years the European classifications will become mandatory for materials used for permanent constructions. To meet the new European classifications, the rate of fire growth, lateral flame spread, total heat release and smoke production for wood and wood based panel products derived from European tests are used to classify materials as Euroclass B or C in accordance with BS EN 13501-1. Important: a particular species / thickness is not deemed to have full formal Euroclass status (B or C) until a Classification report has been issued. Companies who fire treat timber / plywood should be able to present such certification on request as evidence of compliance. The thresholds to achieve Euroclass B are higher than those for Euroclass C and, therefore, if material conforms to Euroclass B then by definition it also conforms to Euroclass C. The UK transpositions for traditional classes to Euroclasses are: Class 1 Euroclass C Class 0 Euroclass B Whilst European classifications to BS EN 13501-1 currently co-exist with traditional British Standards (BS476 Parts 6 and 7) within Building Regulations and either can be specified, these classifications are not equivalent because they are derived from different test methods measuring different properties. Therefore BS 476 Class 1 is not equivalent to Euroclass C and in turn Class 0 is not equal to Euroclass B. A product having a Euroclass B or Euroclass C classification cannot be sold as Class 0 or Class 1 respectively Medite FR MDF Euroclass B is (currently) the only MDF that meets both Euroclass B and BS476 Class 0 standards and can be used in both situations. Other manufacturers do not offer this so great care should be taken when deciding which product to use. A common question: Are the new Euroclasses as good as the old British Standards? The answer to this is that they are simply a new set of reaction to fire tests that are deemed as acceptable by Building Regulations as the old British Standards. Building Regulations dictate the fire performance required, depending upon the location of the fire treated material within the building. The fire performance commonly required for internal wall and ceiling linings is Class 1 Surface Spread of Flame in accordance with BS476: Part 7 or Euroclass C in accordance with BS EN 13501-1. The fire performance commonly required in higher risk areas such as external cladding within 1m of a boundary, escape routes and staircases is Class 0 BS 476: Parts 6 & 7 or Euroclass B in accordance with BS EN 13501-1. Further processing Most timber products can be treated by pressure impregnation or surface coating processes to comply with FR regulations. Please contact us for the details of this service. Please note that where a fire test certificate is required for fabricated material, care must be taken to ensure that the total composite will achieve the required result, which can only be determined by appropriate testing. Customers and specifiers must satisfy themselves that the products they chose are fit for the required applications.
