EN 1634-3:2004 (E) 4 1 Scope This Part of EN 1634 specifies a method for determining the leakage of cold and warm smoke from one side of a door assembly to the other under the specified test conditions. The test can be applied to door and shutter assemblies of different types intended for purposes of controlling the passage of smoke in case of fire. This test can also be applied to lift landing doors and conveyor system doors and shutters. The principle of the test is explained briefly in annex A. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

It includes all the components necessary for the use of the door when installed in a building e.g. side panels and over panels 3.1.7 associated construction specific form of construction in which the test specimen is mounted which is identical to that into which the door or shutter assembly is designed to be installed in practice. The method of sealing the joint between the test specimen and the associated construction is specific to that construction and forms part of the construction being evaluated by the test 3.1.8 supporting construction form of construction with adequate strength and stiffness which is used to support the test specimen and to fill up the difference between the size of the test specimen and the opening in the test frame in an impermeable manner. The seal between the test specimen and the supporting construction should be impermeable and withstand the test temperature and is part of the test. The test frame may be considered to be part of the supporting construction 3.1.9 test specimen leakage rate Qspec leakage through the test specimen (3.1.6) and seal between that and the test frame or any supporting/associated construction used 3.1.10 test specimen linear leakage rate Ql leakage rate through the test specimen (3.1.6) and seal between and the test frame or any supporting/associated construction used, excluding any leakage at the threshold, expressed in terms of loss per linear metre of the perimeter bounded by the door frame when excluding the length of the threshold 3.1.11 aspect ratio fixed relationship of width divided by height of a four sided constructional component 3.2 Symbols and designation The symbols and designation listed below define those used in this standard.

The opening of the test frame shall be sufficient to accommodate the test specimen with its associated or supporting construction, in general an opening of 3 m × 3 m is sufficient for most door types. A fan system is used to create the pressure differential and, for testing to evaluate Sm, a heating system is used to generate the temperatures specified in clause 5. The fan and the heating system shall be able to replace air at ambient and medium temperature, as required, in order to compensate for leakage rates through the test assembly. Annex B provides an outline specification for a suitable apparatus but other designs are possible to achieve the same objectives. 4.2 Instrumentation 4.2.1 Air temperature All thermocouples for the measurement of air temperature shall be of bare metal type with a wire diameter of 0,5 mm or steel sheathed type with the overall diameter not exceeding 1,0 mm. For ambient temperature only leakage evaluation test to satisfy Sa, the temperature measuring equipment shall be capable of measuring temperatures up to 50 oC with an accuracy of ± 4 oC. For ambient together with medium temperature leakage evaluation test to satisfy Sm, the temperature measuring equipment shall be capable of measuring temperatures up to 250 °C with an accuracy of ± 5 °C. 4.2.2 Pressure A suitable instrument shall be provided to measure the static pressure difference between the inside and outside of the test chamber. The pressure measuring equipment shall be capable of measuring pressures with an accuracy of 10 % of the measured value. 4.2.3 Air flow Instrumentation shall be provided to measure the volume, Qt, and the temperature of air supplied to or extracted from the apparatus to compensate for the total leakage. The apparatus shall be able to measure leakage up to at least 55 m3/h to an accuracy of 1 m3/h. EN 1634-3:2004 (E) 7 5 Test conditions A fan system shall be provided to create a pressure differential across the test specimen of at least 55 Pa. When testing for ambient together with medium temperature leakage, sm, provision shall be made to heat the circulating air to the test temperature of (200 ± 20) °C within the test duration and to control the temperature within the prescribed limits given in 10.2.2.2. The test chamber shall be well sealed and the apparatus leakage rate together with the leakage rate through an associated/supporting construction (Qapp + Qsup/assoc) shall not exceed 10 m3/h at 50 Pa and ambient temperature. 6 Test specimen 6.1 Size The test specimen and all its components shall be full size unless limited by the size of the front opening of the test apparatus, which will normally be 3 m × 3 m. Door assemblies which cannot be tested at full size shall be tested to the maximum size possible consistent with the use of supporting or associated constructions. If an associated construction is used, a minimum zone shall be exposed within the chamber, 200 mm wide each side and over the top of the aperture, into which the door assembly is to be fixed. 6.2 Number Leakage tests shall be carried out from both sides for full evaluation except for doors for special applications. The number of tests shall be as given in Table 1. Table 1 Number of tests Application Temperature Number of tests General Ambient One test for each side: the same door may be used by either reversing the sample or by creating under-pressure in the test chamber General Medium One test for each side: a separate specimen is required in each case Special Ambient/medium One test from the specified side 6.3 Design and construction Test specimen construction and finish shall be fully representative of that intended to be used in practice. Any seal used in the door or between the door assembly and the associated construction shall be identical to that intended for applicati
