3 TEST PROCEDURE
STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
The test was performed in accordance with the requirements of EN 1366-4:2006 subject to the variations below.
VARIATIONS TO TEST METHOD
The pressure was up to 11Pa above the limits prescribed in the standard during the 15-20, 30-35, 55-60, 80-90, 115-155, 220-225, 255-265, and 280-285 minute periods. The pressure and temperature were within the limits for rest of the test duration.
PRE-TEST CONDITIONING
The construction of the specimen was finished on the 2 March 2018 and was tested on 26 March 2018. During this period the test specimen was subject to normal laboratory temperatures and relative humidity conditions.
SAMPLING / SPECIMEN SELECTION
The laboratory was not involved in the sampling or selection of the test specimen for the fire resistance test.
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE
The ambient temperature at the start of the test was 19°C and varied between 19°C and 26°C during the test.
TEST DURATION
The test duration was 301 minutes.
INSTRUMENTATION AND EQUIPMENT
The instrumentation was provided in accordance with EN 1363-1:2012 and as detailed below:
The furnace temperature was measured by four (4) 100mm × 100mm × 0.7mm plate thermocouples with mineral insulated metal sheathed Type K thermocouples with an overall diameter of 1mm with the measuring junction insulated from the sheath. The plate thermocouples included 97mm × 97mm × 10mm inorganic insulating pads.
The unexposed side specimen temperatures were measured by Type K thermocouples with wire diameters less than 0.5mm soldered to 12mm diameter × 0.2mm thick copper discs covered by 30mm × 30mm × 2.0 mm inorganic insulating pads. The thermocouple positions are described in Table A4.1, and are shown on Figure A4.1 in Appendix 4.
A roving thermocouple was available to measure temperatures at positions that appeared hotter than the positions monitored by the fixed thermocouples.
The furnace pressure was measured mid-height of the control joints.
Cotton pads were available during the test to assess the performance under the criteria for integrity.
Deflection measurements were taken from calibrated tapes fixed to the block wall using a Dewalt DW0893 Beam Line Laser at the positions shown of Figure A4.1 in Appendix 4.

6 APPLICATION OF TEST RESULTS
TEST LIMITATIONS
The results of this fire test may be used to directly assess fire hazard, but it should be recognized that a single test method will not provide a full assessment of fire hazard under all fire conditions. The results only relate to the behaviour of the specimen of the element of the construction under the particular conditions of the test; they are not intended to be the sole criteria for assessing the potential fire performance of the element in use nor do they necessarily reflect the actual behaviour in fires.
VARIATIONS FROM THE TESTED SPECIMENS
This report details the methods of construction, the test conditions and the results obtained when the specific element of construction described herein was tested following the procedure outlined in EN 1366-4, and where appropriate EN 1363-2. Any significant deviation with respect to size, constructional details, loads, stresses, edge or end conditions, other than those allowed under the field of direct application in the relevant test method, is not addressed by this report. It is recommended that any proposed variation to the tested configuration other than as permitted under the field of direct application specified in Appendix 3 should be referred to the test sponsor in the first instance to obtain appropriate documentary evidence of compliance from Exova Warringtonfire Aus Pty Ltd or another Registered Testing Authority.
UNCERTAINTY OF MEASUREMENT
Because of the nature of fire resistance testing and the consequent difficulty in quantifying the uncertainty of measurement of fire resistance, it is not possible to provide a stated degree of accuracy of the result.

Results obtained with the steel angle standard supporting construction as described in 7.2.2.3 apply to separating element constructions made of metals with a melting point higher than 1000 °C. Results obtained with a combination of a standard supporting construction as described in 7.2.2.1 and a standard supporting construction as described in 7.2.2.3 apply to concrete, block work and masonry separating elements of a thickness and density equal to or greater than that tested forming one joint face and separating element constructions made of metals with a melting point higher than 1000 °C forming the other joint face. A fire resistance time obtained on a specific non-standard supporting construction applies only to that particular construction.

SEAL POSITION
Test results are valid only for the position (see Figure 3) in which the seal was tested, except that where the linear joint seal was fitted flush with the surface of the supporting construction and is exposed to the fire (see Figure 3, test specimen B), the result will also be applicable to test specimen C and E.
MECHANICALLY INDUCED MOVEMENT
If the movement capability of a linear joint seal is less than 7,5 %, the linear joint seal may be tested without mechanically induced movement and the result applies to the movement capability reported. Results obtained with mechanically induced movement prior to or during the tests are only valid for the movement capability tested or lower.

3 TEST PROCEDURE
STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
The test was performed in accordance with the requirements of EN 1366-4:2006 subject to the variations below.
VARIATIONS TO TEST METHOD
The pressure was up to 3Pa above the limits prescribed in the standard during the 45-50 and 180-185 minute period. The pressure and temperature were within the limits for rest of the test duration.
PRE-TEST CONDITIONING
The construction of the specimen was finished on the 14 May 2018 and was tested on 12 June 2018. During this period the test specimen was subject to normal laboratory temperatures and relative humidity conditions.
SAMPLING / SPECIMEN SELECTION
The laboratory was not involved in the sampling or selection of the test specimen for the fire resistance test.
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE
The ambient temperature at the start of the test was 16°C and varied between 16°C and 19°C during the test.
TEST DURATION
The test duration was 301 minutes.
INSTRUMENTATION AND EQUIPMENT
The instrumentation was provided in accordance with EN 1363-1:2012 and as detailed below:
The furnace temperature was measured by four (4) 100mm × 100mm × 0.7mm plate thermocouples with mineral insulated metal sheathed Type K thermocouples with an overall diameter of 1mm with the measuring junction insulated from the sheath. The plate thermocouples included 97mm × 97mm × 10mm inorganic insulating pads.
The unexposed side specimen temperatures were measured by Type K thermocouples with wire diameters less than 0.5mm soldered to 12mm diameter × 0.2mm thick copper discs covered by 30mm × 30mm × 2.0 mm inorganic insulating pads. The thermocouple positions are described in Table A4.1, and are shown on Figure A4.1 in Appendix 4.
A roving thermocouple was available to measure temperatures at positions that appeared hotter than the positions monitored by the fixed thermocouples.
The furnace pressure was measured mid-height of the control joint.
Cotton pads were available during the test to assess the performance under the criteria for integrity.
Deflection measurements were taken from calibrated tapes fixed to the block wall using a Dewalt DW0893 Beam Line Laser at the positions shown of Figure A4.1 in Appendix 4.

The results of this fire test may be used to directly assess fire hazard, but it should be recognized that a single test method will not provide a full assessment of fire hazard under all fire conditions. The results only relate to the behaviour of the specimen of the element of the construction under the particular conditions of the test; they are not intended to be the sole criteria for assessing the potential fire performance of the element in use nor do they necessarily reflect the actual behaviour in fires.
VARIATIONS FROM THE TESTED SPECIMENS
This report details the methods of construction, the test conditions and the results obtained when the specific element of construction described herein was tested following the procedure outlined in EN 1366-4, and where appropriate EN 1363-2. Any significant deviation with respect to size, constructional details, loads, stresses, edge or end conditions, other than those allowed under the field of direct application in the relevant test method, is not addressed by this report. It is recommended that any proposed variation to the tested configuration other than as permitted under the field of direct application specified in Appendix 3 should be referred to the test sponsor in the first instance to obtain appropriate documentary evidence of compliance from Exova Warringtonfire Aus Pty Ltd or another Registered Testing Authority.
UNCERTAINTY OF MEASUREMENT
Because of the nature of fire resistance testing and the consequent difficulty in quantifying the uncertainty of measurement of fire resistance, it is not possible to provide a stated degree of accuracy of the result.

APPENDIX 3 DIRECT FIELD OF APPLICATION
Reference Note: References in this section refer to those found in the EN 1366-4:2006 standard and not this report.
GENERAL
The EN 1366-4:2006 standard indicates that the results of the fire test contained in the test report are directly applicable without reference to the testing authority to similar constructions where one or more of the changes have been made:
ORIENTATION
The field of application regarding the orientation of the linear joint is given in Table 1. The possible orientation of linear joints (A to E) and of the specimens in the test (A to C) is illustrated in Figure 12.
Table 1 – Field of application regarding orientation
Tested Orientation Application
A A, D, E a
B B
C C, D b
a Orientation E will only be covered by test orientation A if shear movement was chosen and one face of the joint was fixed and the other face was removed.
b Orientation D will only be covered by test orientation C if shear movement was chosen and one face of the joint was fixed and the other face was moved.
Key A linear joint in a horizontal test construction B vertical linear joint in a vertical test construction C horizontal linear joint in a vertical test construction D horizontal wall joint abutting a floor, ceiling or roof E horizontal floor joint abutting a wall Table 1 only applies when both the supporting construction and the location of the seal within the linear joint remain unchanged. See 13.3
SUPPORTING CONSTRUCTION
Results obtained with autoclaved aerated concrete standard supporting constructions apply to concrete, block work and masonry separating elements of a thickness and density equal to or greater than that tested. Results obtained with normal concrete standard supporting constructions apply to concrete and block work separating elements of a thickness and density equal to or greater than that tested. Results obtained with timber standard supporting construction apply to timber separating elements of a thickness and density equal to or greater than that tested. Results obtained with the steel angle standard supporting construction as described in 7.2.2.3 apply to separating element constructions made of metals with a melting point higher than 1000 °C. Results obtained with a combination of a standard supporting construction as described in 7.2.2.1 and a standard supporting construction as described in 7.2.2.3 apply to concrete, block work and masonry separating elements of a thickness and density equal to or greater than that tested forming one joint face and separating element constructions made of metals with a melting point higher than 1000 °C forming the other joint face. A fire resistance time obtained on a specific non-standard supporting construction applies only to that particular construction.

SEAL POSITION
Test results are valid only for the position (see Figure 3) in which the seal was tested, except that where the linear joint seal was fitted flush with the surface of the supporting construction and is exposed to the fire (see Figure 3, test specimen B), the result will also be applicable to test specimen C and E.
MECHANICALLY INDUCED MOVEMENT
If the movement capability of a linear joint seal is less than 7,5 %, the linear joint seal may be tested without mechanically induced movement and the result applies to the movement capability reported. Results obtained with mechanically induced movement prior to or during the tests are only valid for the movement capability tested or lower.

3 TEST PROCEDURE
STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
The test was performed in accordance with the requirements of EN 1366-4:2006 subject to the variations below.
VARIATIONS TO TEST METHOD
The pressure for the 5-30, 60-65, 75-85,110-115, 209-240, 270-275 minute period was above the limits prescribed in BS EN 1366-4 2006 up to 10 Pa. This exceeded the pressure requirement of the standard and was therefore more severe than required by the standard. Based on the above the results of this test remain valid. The furnace pressure was below the limits stated in BS EN 1366-4 2006 by 10Pa between 135-145 minutes due to deterioration of the specimen. See table A5.2 for details. No deflection measurements were taken.
PRE-TEST CONDITIONING
The construction of the specimen was finished on the 15 May 2017 and was tested on the 14 June 2017. During this period the test specimen was subject to normal laboratory temperatures and relative humidity conditions.
SAMPLING / SPECIMEN SELECTION
The laboratory was not involved in the sampling or selection of the test specimen for the fire resistance test.
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE
The ambient temperature at the start of the test was 15°C and varied between 15°C and 21°C during the test.
TEST DURATION
The test duration was 301 minutes.
INSTRUMENTATION AND EQUIPMENT
The instrumentation was provided in accordance with EN 1363-1:2012 and as detailed below:
The furnace temperature was measured by 4-off 100mm × 100mm × 0.7 mm plate thermocouples with mineral insulated metal sheathed Type K thermocouples with an overall diameter of 1mm with the measuring junction insulated from the sheath. The plate thermocouples included 97mm × 97mm × 10mm inorganic insulating pads.
The non-fire side specimen temperatures were measured by Type K thermocouples with wire diameters less than 0.5mm soldered to 12mm diameter × 0.2mm thick copper discs covered by 30mm × 30mm × 2.0 mm inorganic insulating pads. The thermocouple positions are described in Table A4.1, and are shown on Figure A4.1 in Appendix 4.
A roving thermocouple was available to measure temperatures at positions that appeared hotter than the positions monitored by the fixed thermocouples.
The furnace pressure was measured at the mid-height of the control joint.
Cotton pad were available during the test to assess the performance under the criteria for integrity.

6 APPLICATION OF TEST RESULTS
TEST LIMITATIONS
The results of this fire test may be used to directly assess fire hazard, but it should be recognized that a single test method will not provide a full assessment of fire hazard under all fire conditions. The results only relate to the behaviour of the specimen of the element of the construction under the particular conditions of the test; they are not intended to be the sole criteria for assessing the potential fire performance of the element in use nor do they necessarily reflect the actual behaviour in fires.
VARIATIONS FROM THE TESTED SPECIMENS
This report details the method of construction, the test conditions and the results obtained when the specific element of construction described herein was tested following the procedure outlined in EN 1363-1, and where appropriate EN 1363-2. Any significant deviation with respect to size, constructional details, loads, stresses, edge or end conditions other than those allowed under the field of direct application in the relevant test method is not covered by this report. It is recommended that any proposed variation to the tested configuration other than as permitted under the field of direct application specified in Appendix 3 should be referred to the test sponsor in the first instance to obtain appropriate documentary evidence of compliance from Exova Warringtonfire Aus Pty Ltd or another Registered Testing Authority.
UNCERTAINTY OF MEASUREMENT
Because of the nature of fire resistance testing and the consequent difficulty in quantifying the uncertainty of measurement of fire resistance, it is not possible to provide a stated degree of accuracy of the result.

APPENDIX 3 DIRECT FIELD OF APPLICATION
Reference Note: References in this section refer to those found in the standard and not this report.
GENERAL
EN 1366-4:2006 indicates that the results of the fire test contained in the test report are directly applicable without reference to the testing authority to similar constructions where one or more of the changes have been made:
ORIENTATION
The field of application regarding the orientation of the linear joint is given in Table 1. The possible orientation of linear joints (A to E) and of the specimens in the test (A to C) is illustrated in Figure 12.
Table 1 – Field of application regarding orientation
Tested Orientation Application
A A, D, E a
B B
C C, D b
a Orientation E will only be covered by test orientation A if shear movement was chosen and one face of the joint was fixed and the other face was removed.
b Orientation D will only be covered by test orientation C if shear movement was chosen and one face of the joint was fixed and the other face was moved.
Key A linear joint in a horizontal test construction B vertical linear joint in a vertical test construction C horizontal linear joint in a vertical test construction D horizontal wall joint abutting a floor, ceiling or roof E horizontal floor joint abutting a wall Table 1 only applies when both the supporting construction and the location of the seal within the linear joint remain unchanged. See 13.3
SUPPORTING CONSTRUCTION
Results obtained with autoclaved aerated concrete standard supporting constructions apply to concrete, block work and masonry separating elements of a thickness and density equal to or greater than that tested. Results obtained with normal concrete standard supporting constructions apply to concrete and block work separating elements of a thickness and density equal to or greater than that tested. Results obtained with timber standard supporting construction apply to timber separating elements of a thickness and density equal to or greater than that tested. Results obtained with the steel angle standard supporting construction as described in 7.2.2.3 apply to separating element constructions made of metals with a melting point higher than 1000 °C. Results obtained with a combination of a standard supporting construction as described in 7.2.2.1 and a standard supporting construction as described in 7.2.2.3 apply to concrete, block work and masonry separating elements of a thickness and density equal to or greater than that tested forming one joint face and separating element constructions made of metals with a melting point higher than 1000 °C forming the other joint face. A fire resistance time obtained on a specific non-standard supporting construction applies only to that particular construction.
Report No. 43878800g.1 Page 14 of 27
© Exova Warringtonfire Aus Pty Ltd 2018
SEAL POSITION
Test results are valid only for the position (see Figure 3) in which the seal was tested, except that where the linear joint seal was fitted flush with the surface of the supporting construction and is exposed to the fire (see Figure 3, test specimen B), the result will also be applicable to test specimen C and E.
MECHANICALLY INDUCED MOVEMENT
If the movement capability of a linear joint seal is less than 7,5 %, the linear joint seal may be tested without mechanically induced movement and the result applies to the movement capability reported. Results obtained with mechanically induced movement prior to or during the tests are only valid for the movement capability tested or lower.
