1Scope and field of application
This standard defines concepts relating to fire protectionand specifies requirements and tests for measures taken to prevent the spread of fire along service shafts anddutsandlnieling anyln layers and sheathing. Pipe encasements and pipe bushings service shafts and ducts shall be so designed as to prevent the spread of fire and smoke through floors and wallsduring the fire resistance time specified in table 1.
thistandard donotcover the risk of fire spread due to The protective measures evaluated in accordance withconsequenceofthe thermalelongationorshorteningof the passage of heat along pipes. The risk of damage as athe pipes is dealt with only in respect of the structure of the specimens. The testing of service ducts as specified inthis standard does not cover the risk of damage caused by falling pipe and cable supports or ducts nor does itinclude an assessment of the reliability of the pipes andcables laid inside them such as emergency power supply lines.')
In addition this standard does not deal with the possibility of the leakage of dangerous liquids or gases as a result ofthe destruction of pipes under fire conditions.
This standard does not apply to the testing of sealingpounds for cable bushings²)nor to the testing ofspreadof firealongventilationducts seeDIN4102 ventilation shafts and fire dampers for preventing theshafts assigned to fire resistance classes I 30 to I 120 and Part6).However this does not exclude the use of serviceencasements for vertical ventilation ducts with fire tested as specified in this standard as fire resistantdampers made of sheet steel in accordance with DIN 18 017 Parts 1 to 33).
This standard does not deal with methods of testingcable ducts covered by DIN VDE 0604 Parts 1 to 3 (at present at the stage of draft) trunking for undergroundcable ducts covered by DIN VDE 0634 Part 2 (at presentance of shavings or used as laundry chutes or for waste disposal.
