FIRE-RESISTANT WINDOW REGULATIONS
-
National regulations and codes governing fire compartmentation refer to European standard EN 13501-2, which sets out fire classification requirements for construction products and building elements such as windows. To verify compliance with this classification standard, products undergo testing according to the relevant test standard: EN 1364-1 for fixed windows and partitions and EN 1634-1 for openable windows.
-
Individual countries within Europe may also have their own specific regulations and standards related to fire-rated windows. Compliance with these regulations is essential to ensure the safety of building occupants and prevent devastating fire incidents. Contact us for more information on your local building code.
