Explanation of Fire Rating Symbols
Integrity & Insulation | |
E - Integrity | This is the ability of a test component to stop fire from spreading to an unexposed side as a result of penetration of flames or smoke. |
I - Insulation | This is the ability of a test component to restrict the temperature rise of the non-heated side to below specified levels during the fire, which is not more than +140°C up to +180°C. |
Integrity & Radiation Reduction | |
E - Integrity | This is the ability of a test component to stop fire from spreading to an unexposed side as a result of penetration of flames or smoke. |
W – Reduction of thermal radiation | This is the ability of a test component to resist fire exposure on one side only, so as to reduce the probability of the transmission of fire as a result of significant radiated heat either through the element or from its unexposed surface to neighbouring objects. |
All of the above parameters are followed by a time limit in minutes. The number after a given symbol shows the time the performance criteria is fulfilled during a standardised fire test, eg. EI120, EW60, etc.
