BS 476-22 Fire resistance test - Non-load-bearing construction materials
BS 476-22: Fire testing of building materials and building elements – Part 22. Fire resistance of non-load-bearing building elements
BS 476-22: Fire Tests on Building materials and structures – Part 22.Methods for determination of the fire resistance of non-loadbearing elements of construction
BS 476-22 Fire resistance testing - Non-load-bearing construction materials - Overview of the standard:
BS 476-22 is mainly used to evaluate the fire resistance of non-load-bearing building materials under high temperature conditions. It is mainly used for the flame resistance test of vertical partitions, partition walls and glazed building materials, as well as the flame resistance test of some fully partitioned, partially partitioned or non-partitioned door and window products and roller shutters.
BS 476-22 describes procedures for determining the fire resistance of non-load-bearing elements subject to the conditions of heat and pressure specified in BS 476-20 during building construction. This section applies to vertical partitions, fully insulated, partially insulated and non-insulated vertical door casings and shutter assemblies (except in ducts incorporating fire dampers), membranes to ceilings, and glazed elements.
