BS EN 13501-1: 2018 Fire classification of construction products and building elements

d² GRP Dura Slab flooring achieves a classification of Bfl s1, meaning very limited contribution to fire, with low smoke emissions.

BS EN 13501-1:2018 was published on 14th January 2019. It provides the reaction to fire classification procedure for all construction products, including products incorporated within building elements

The process for classification under this standard involves a combination of up to five rigorous tests designed to assess the product on a range of characteristics, including combustibility, heat levels, flame spread and smoke release. Once tested, the product receives an official classification of its fire rating, known as a Euroclass rating.

From best performing to worst performing, the Euroclass system is: A1, A2, B, C, D, E and F. It also provides additional classification (typically associated with reaction to fire classes D – B) for smoke production (from s1 (little or no smoke) to s3 (substantial smoke)) and flaming droplets/particles (from d0 (none) to d² (quite a lot)).
