German Standard: DIN 4102-1 -- Fire performance requirements and test classification levels of building materials

The following content will elaborate on the German standard DIN 4102-1, the classification grade standard for building material requirements and testing in the fire resistance of building materials and components:

DIN 4102-1 Fire performance requirements and test classification levels of building materials - Standard name:

DIN 4102-1 Fire behaviour of building materials and elements Part 1: Classification of building materials Requirements and testing

DIN 4102-1 Fire performance requirements and test classification levels of building materials - Overview of the standard:

The DIN 4102-1 standard details the combustion performance classes of building materials, as well as the requirements and test methods for each class.

DIN 4102-1 Fire performance requirements and test classification levels of building materials - Scope of application of materials:

Some of the applicable building materials are as follows:

-Board /Sheet

-Composite materials

-Assembly materials

-Surface covering material

-Insulation and insulation materials

-coating

-etc

-Decoration materials

-Door curtains/curtains

-Ceiling hanging material

-Flame retardant

-Foaming fire retardant coating

-Pipes and fittings

DIN 4102-1 Fire performance requirements and test classification levels of building materials - Standard analysis :

When the fire behavior of a material meets the characteristics determined by this standard, it is classified as:

A1 non-combustible materials	-Meets A2 requirements - Non-flammability test according to standards -Conduct total combustion calorific value test according to standards -Combustion smoke production test
A2 non-combustible materials	-Tested according to DIN 4102-16 -Conduct non-flammability test or total combustion calorific value test according to standards -Combustion smoke production test
B1 Flame retardant materials	-Tested to meet B2 requirements -The remaining sample length is greater than 15cm -The temperature does not exceed 200 degrees
B2 Combustible materials	-The flame extends to the marking line after 20 seconds -The paper does not burn -Drip burning within 2s
B3 Flammable materials	-Failed to meet B2 level
