b2 internal fire spread linings
The highest National product performance classification for lining materials is Class O. This is achieved if a material or the surface of a composite product is either:
a. composed throughout of materials of limited combustibility; or
b. a Class 1 material which has a fire propagation index (I) of not more than 12 and sub-index (i1) of not more than 6.
Note: Class O is not a classification identified in any British Standard test.
barrier
These are designed to hold back smoke at a leaky physical barrier in a building, such as a door (either open or closed) or other similarly restricted openings. Details are given for calculation, test procedures, installation and commissioning procedures. They are intended to offer protection for means of escape (stairwells, corridors and lobbies) and to provide a protected firefighting bridgehead for the Fire Services.
bs 8895-2:2015 material
The highest National product performance classification for lining materials is Class O. This is achieved if a material or the surface of a composite product is either:
a. composed throughout of materials of limited combustibility; or
b. a Class 1 material which has a fire propagation index (I) of not more than 12 and sub-index (i1) of not more than 6.
Note: Class O is not a classification identified in any British Standard test.
commissioning
Materials of limited combustibility are defined in Table A7:
a. (National classes) by reference to the method specified in BS476: Part 11:1982; or
b. (European classes) in terms of performance when classified as class A2-s3, d2 in accordance with BS EN 13501-1 :2002, Fire classification of construction products and building elements, Part 1 - Classification using data from reaction to fire tests when tested to BS EN ISO 1182:2002, Reaction to fire tests for building products - Non combustibility test or BS EN ISO 1716:2002 Reaction to fire tests for building products - Determination of the gross calorific value and BS EN 13823:2002, Reaction to fire tests for building products - Building products excluding floorings exposed to the thermal attack by a single burning item.
Table A7 also includes composite products (such as plasterboard) which are considered acceptable and where these are exposed as linings they should also meet any appropriate flame spread rating.
compartmentation
Specifies requirements for separate hold-open devices and also for hold-open mechanisms incorporated in a door closer intended to be used on fire/smoke compartmentation doors
continuous operation
Specifies requirements for separate hold-open devices and also for hold-open mechanisms incorporated in a door closer intended to be used on fire/smoke compartmentation doors
earth-closet
To restrict the use of materials which ignite easily, which have a high rate of heat release and/ or which reduce the time to flashover, maximum acceptable 'fire propagation' indices are specified, where the National test methods are being followed.
These are determined by reference to the method specified in BS 476-6:1981 or 1989 Method of test for fire propagation of products. Index of performance (I) relates to the overall test performance, whereas sub-index (i1) is derived from the first three minutes of test.
fire alarm system
Specifies the requirements and methods of test for manual call points in fire detection and fire alarm systems in and around buildings.
fire protection
These are designed to hold back smoke at a leaky physical barrier in a building, such as a door (either open or closed) or other similarly restricted openings. Details are given for calculation, test procedures, installation and commissioning procedures. They are intended to offer protection for means of escape (stairwells, corridors and lobbies) and to provide a protected firefighting bridgehead for the Fire Services.
high-usage entrance door
Specifies requirements for separate hold-open devices and also for hold-open mechanisms incorporated in a door closer intended to be used on fire/smoke compartmentation doors
materials
The highest National product performance classification for lining materials is Class O. This is achieved if a material or the surface of a composite product is either:
a. composed throughout of materials of limited combustibility; or
b. a Class 1 material which has a fire propagation index (I) of not more than 12 and sub-index (i1) of not more than 6.
Note: Class O is not a classification identified in any British Standard test.
measurement
In a building with a storey 18m or more above ground level any insulation product, filler material (not including gaskets, sealants and similar) etc. used in the external wall construction should be of limited combustibility (see Appendix A). This restriction does not apply to masonry cavity wall construction
separated part
Specifies requirements for separate hold-open devices and also for hold-open mechanisms incorporated in a door closer intended to be used on fire/smoke compartmentation doors
testing and commissioning
These are designed to hold back smoke at a leaky physical barrier in a building, such as a door (either open or closed) or other similarly restricted openings. Details are given for calculation, test procedures, installation and commissioning procedures. They are intended to offer protection for means of escape (stairwells, corridors and lobbies) and to provide a protected firefighting bridgehead for the Fire Services.
thermal element
Materials of limited combustibility are defined in Table A7:
a. (National classes) by reference to the method specified in BS476: Part 11:1982; or
b. (European classes) in terms of performance when classified as class A2-s3, d2 in accordance with BS EN 13501-1 :2002, Fire classification of construction products and building elements, Part 1 - Classification using data from reaction to fire tests when tested to BS EN ISO 1182:2002, Reaction to fire tests for building products - Non combustibility test or BS EN ISO 1716:2002 Reaction to fire tests for building products - Determination of the gross calorific value and BS EN 13823:2002, Reaction to fire tests for building products - Building products excluding floorings exposed to the thermal attack by a single burning item.

unprotected area
In a building with a storey 18m or more above ground level any insulation product, filler material (not including gaskets, sealants and similar) etc. used in the external wall construction should be of limited combustibility (see Appendix A).
