TECHNICAL SCHEDULE (TS 12) FIRE RESISTING PEDESTRIAN TYPE DOORSETS WITH METALLIC LEAVES AND FRAMES INCLUDING OPTIONAL SMOKE CONTROL FOREWORD

This Technical Schedule (TS) forms part of a series of controlled documents which comprise the CERTIFIRE product certification scheme. It has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of BS EN ISO IEC 17065 for product certification bodies. In addition to this Schedule the other controlled documents relevant to CERTFIRE certification are:

• TS00 - General Requirements for Certification of Passive Fire Protection

Products/Systems • CERTIFIRE Quality Manual • Certificate(s) of Approval in the CF000 series, together with any appendices • Documentation from the manufacturer • Rules for use of the CERTIFIRE logo.

This CERTIFIRE scheme aims to provide confidence that installed metallic fire resisting doorsets will be capable of achieving the designated fire resistance level and also to demonstrate compliance with performance specifications. This document is intended for the certification of fire resisting doorsets of metallic construction. It has been prepared by the organisations listed in Annex F and agreed in accordance with the requirements of BS EN ISO IEC 17065. Doors and doorsets of other types of construction are covered by other Technical Schedules Individual components can have a significant influence on the fire resistance doorsets. This Technical Schedule (TS) incorporates criteria to help ensure that the doorsets will provide the necessary fire resistance when correctly fitted with other CERTIFIRE approved components. For application in the UK, and in other jurisdictions which still accept British Standards, certification based upon BS tests will continue to be available against the requirements of this TS as long as regulations permit or until Warringtonfire and/or the industry decide to cease certification. This issue of TS12 supersedes previous versions and becomes effective from [date].

1. SCOPE

1.1 This Schedule defines the technical requirements, via testing and appraisal, of fire resisting doorsets with leaves of metallic facings fitted in metallic frames, including, where relevant, those for smoke leakage control.

1.2 This Schedule is performance based and applies to single or double leaves in single or

double-acting configuration. Doors, therefore, may or may not for example, incorporate steel stiffeners and/or fibrous material and/or paper honeycomb or similar.

1.3 This Schedule is intended to cover doorsets which are designed for solely pedestrian use.

It is not intended to cover industrial type doorsets (for which see TS 30) or doors of non-metallic construction (for which see TS 10).

1.4 Items of building hardware, intumescent and smoke seals, glazing systems and glass

fitted to doors and doorsets certificated under this TS are required to be CERTIFIRE certificated in their own right.

1.5 This Schedule is based on British Standard tests and is designed to help products satisfy

UK regulatory requirements and those of other jurisdictions where British Standards are specified or are accepted.

1.6 Doors for which certification based on European classifications is required should be

evaluated against Technical Schedule TS42. TS42 is based on the harmonized European product standard with classification of fire performance in accordance with EN 13501- Part 2 and EN13501-Part 1 if appropriate.

1.7 The detailed scope of a system appraisal is given in the Certificate of Approval and the

Certificate will identify any limitations applying to the use and interchange ability of the individual components.

Certification of the installation of doorsets covered by this Technical Schedule is not within the scope of this document, however, the installation requirements in terms of who is eligible to install doorsets and their qualifications is specified in Clause 13.

The evaluation, in accordance with Annex A of TS12, following the principles of FTSG Resolution 82, of proposed changes to the tested specimen(s) which will establish that such modifications can, with a reasonable degree of certainty, be considered to give a fire resistance performance equivalent to that required by the Test Standard, when installed in practice.

4 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS The general requirements for the certification of doors are given in TS00 which should be

read in conjunction with this TS.

5 CLASSIFICATION 5.1 Certification of pedestrian type steel doorsets in accordance with the requirements of this

Schedule is designed to provide approvals intended to satisfy the current UK classification requirements. During the life of this Schedule the requirements for certification to satisfy the European classification requirements will be defined. This Schedule has been prepared to take into account the requirements for European classification.

5.2 For an approval to satisfy current UK classifications tests of fire resisting doorsets may be conducted in accordance with the British Standards referenced in the appropriate clauses below.

5.3 Tests conducted in accordance with harmonised European Standards may also be used

to support an approval to satisfy current UK classifications. Note that this evidence will not be used directly to provide a classification. The results will be ‘translated’ into times to failure under a British Standard test.

5.4 For a European classification the doorset shall be certificated against the requirements of

the Technical Schedule for European classification (TS42). . 6 CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS 6.1 Certification in accordance with this Schedule is considered on the basis of the

requirements given in TS00 ‘General Requirements for CERTIFIRE Certification of Passive Fire Protection Products/Systems’

7 FIRE RESISTANCE TEST REQUIREMENTS 7.1 Submitted test evidence may fall into one of the following categories:

• Primary test evidence • Supplementary test evidence

7.2 Primary fire resistance test evidence shall be conducted at a laboratory accredited for the

relevant test and may, at CERTIFIRE’s discretion require to be supervised by CERTIFIRE staff.

Quality EWC-QU-TS12

Technical Schedule




of 33



Co. Reg. No. 11371436

7.3 The test(s) shall be conducted fully in accordance with BS 476: Part 22 or BS EN 1634-1. 7.4 Supplementary test evidence may at CERTIFIRE’s discretion be generated at other, non-

accredited facilities. Where this is the case, the test(s) shall be supervised by CERTIFIRE and all calibration records, to UKAS level, shall be available for inspection by CERTIFIRE. Additionally, CERTIFIRE reserve the right to witness such tests.

7.5 There is no single specific fire resistance test programme required to be conducted to

gain approval, however, certification can only be based on at least one fire resistance test and cannot be evaluated solely on the basis of appraisal.

7.6 The test shall be conducted at the maximum size able to be accommodated in the

furnace unless certification is being sought for a smaller maximum size. 7.7 The submitted test evidence should be sufficient to cover each configuration in

accordance with Table 1. Where glazed vision panels are required to be fitted within the doorset, there shall be appropriate test evidence available.

7.8 Where separating elements are required to be fire resisting from both sides, two

specimens shall be tested (one from each direction) unless the element is fully symmetrical. However, in some cases it is possible to appraise doorsets whereby the fire resistance of an asymmetrical doorset tested in one direction can apply when the fire exposure is from the other direction.

7.9 Table 1 below lists the type of doorset for which rules can be generated and gives the

direction which it should be tested to cover the opposite direction. The separate columns for the integrity and insulation criteria reflect the different ability to make rules for integrity only doors as opposed to those with satisfy both criteria. A means that it is possible to identify the direction of test which covers opposite direction. A X indicates that it is not possible to identify the direction which will cover the opposite direction.

7.10 Additionally, the performance of a doorset can be influenced by the supporting construction into which it was installed during the fire test and therefore, this should be considered in accordance with Annex A of this Schedule.

7.11 Where there is likely to be a requirement for the use of extended application rules (see

Annex), it may be necessary to take additional component temperature measurements to those specified by the Test Standard. Additional test evidence may also be required in the form of a ‘modelling test’, which is designed to provide particular information on the performance of specific elements of the doorset. The need for such additional information will be determined by CERTIFIRE.

7.12 Table 2 below lists the type of door assembly for which rules can be generated and gives

the direction in which it should be tested to cover the opposite direction. The separate columns for the integrity and insulation criteria reflect the ability to make different rules for integrity only doors as opposed to those, which are required to satisfy both criteria. A means that it is possible to identify the direction of test, which covers opposite direction. An X indicates that it is not possible to identify the direction, which will cover the opposite direction.

8 SMOKE LEAKAGE TEST REQUIREMENTS (optional) 8.1 Where fire resisting doorsets are also intended for use where restricted ambient

temperature smoke leakage is required (i.e. assemblies requiring a suffix S as defined in Approved Document B to the Building Regulations) they may additionally be certified for such use.

8.2 The doorset shall be successfully tested in accordance with the procedures given in

CERTIFIRE’S Technical Schedule TS 21 (The Contribution of Edge Seals to the Control of Smoke Leakage via Door Assemblies). The size and arrangement of the test specimen(s) shall be as given in the Schedule contingent upon the design detail being evaluated and subject to CERTIFIRE agreement.

8.3 CERTIFIRE approved smoke seals shall be used. If the scope of certification of the seal

covers use with the door in question no further test data is required. If the scope does not cover the application, further testing with the door under evaluation shall be conducted in accordance with clause 7.4 below.

8.4 The tests shall include smoke leakage (BS 476: Part 31.1 or EN 1634-3) and

opening/closing force measurement. Smoke seals shall be CERTIFIRE approved against Technical Schedule TS 21 for use on metal fire resisting doorsets.
