EN 16034 refers to a set of European standards which specify the technical performance characteristics for fire resisting and/or smoke control products, or better known in common language as fire/smoke doors or fire/smoke proof doors. Compliance with this standard requires to fullfill the requirements of the Construction Product Regulation (EU) No. 305/2011 for construction products (short CPR), which are placed on the EU market with the intention to become permanent parts of a construction.
The primary purpose of the CPR is to remove technical barriers to trade for product manufacturers within the Internal market through the development and adoption of European Technical Specifications (harmonised product standards and European Technical Approvals). With the publication of the European standard EN 16034 conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn within a transitional period of 3 years. Product manufacturers can now sell their products throughout Europe by complying with a single common European Technical Specification recognised and accepted by all Member States, rather than having to test and comply with different national standards in each Member State.
History
In 1994 the European Commission, with the mandate M/101 has invited the European Standardization bodies CEN and CENELEC to draw up a common European standard for fire and smoke proof doors.
Exclusions
This European Standard does not cover:
- fixed windows, glazed side panels and/or overpanels, which are not an integral part of a doorset and/or openable window;
- door assemblies produced with components from several sources where there is no single identified manufacturer or legal entity who will take responsibility for them;
- operation in environments where the electromagnetic disturbances are outside the range of those specified in EN 61000 6 3;
- radio operating devices fitted to doorsets and/or openable windows; where such items are fitted, the relevant ETSI standards should be applied in addition.
Scope
This European Standard identifies material independent, safety and performance requirements applicable to all fire resisting and/or smoke control products intended to be used in fire and/or smoke compartmentation and/or escape routes, which are either:
- industrial, commercial and/or garage doorsets, rolling shutters or operable fabric curtains intended for the installation in areas in the reach of persons and for which the main intended uses are giving safe access for goods and vehicles accompanied or driven by persons
- rolling shutters or operable fabric curtains used in retail premises which are mainly provided for the access of persons rather than vehicles or goods
- pedestrian doorsets and/or openable windows and/or inspection hatches which are hinged or sliding, intended for the installation in areas in the reach of persons, and for which the main intended uses are giving safe access for persons and which are manually or power operated
and either:
- opening and self closing as a normal mode of operation,
- normally held open but self closing in case of fire or smoke,
- normally maintained locked in the closed position (e. g. service access/inspection doorsets)
and completed:
- with building hardware,
- with or without any side panel(s), flush over panel(s) and/or transom panel(s) (with or without glazing) and contained within a single perimeter frame for inclusion in a single aperture,
- with or without any vision panel(s) in the door leaf or leave(s),
- with or without any seals (e.g. for smoke control, fire resistance, draught, acoustic or weather characteristics).
