BS EN 15269-7 is the seventh part of the BS EN 15269 series of standards intended to be used for the purpose of producing an extended application report based on the evaluation of one or more fire resistance and/or smoke control tests.
BS EN 15269-7, which should be read in conjunction with BS EN 15269-1, covers the following types of steel-based door sets: horizontally sliding door sets (single and double), telescopic door sets (single and double) and single vertically sliding door sets.
BS EN 15269-7 prescribes the methodology for extending the application of test results obtained from the test(s) conducted in accordance with EN 1634-1.
BS EN 15269-7 on fire resistance for steel sliding door sets is useful for:
Steel sliding doors have multiple editions that consist of minor modifications in their design and thereby need to be tested individually. This can cost the manufacturer time and money in testing phase and delay the arrival of the final products in the consumer market.
BS EN 15269-7 when used in conjunction with BS EN 15269-1 provides guidance to identify the best selection of test specimens required to cover a wide range of product variations.
Overall, the guidelines of BS EN 15269-7 enable you to utilize the fire resistance test results of steel sliding doors for similar products with minor variations.EN 15269-7:2009
