What is BS EN 15254-2 – Fire resistance tests for nonloadbearing walls about?
BS EN 15254-2 is the second part of the BS EN 15254 series of standards that provides guidance, and where appropriate defines procedures, for variations of products and element construction parameters related to the design of internal and external non-loadbearing walls made of clay units, calcium silicate units, aggregate concrete units, autoclaved aerated concrete units and gypsum blocks with different types of mortar that have been tested in accordance with BS EN 1364-1. The aim of BS EN 15254-2 is to help in construction of nonloadbearing wall that fire resistance.
Note: Manufactured stone masonry units according to BS EN 771-5 are not covered.
Who is BS EN 15254-2 - Fire resistance tests for nonloadbearing walls for?
BS EN 15254-2 on non loading bearing walls is useful for:
- Builders
- Civil engineers
- Architectures
- Safety department
Why should you use BS EN 15254-2- Fire resistance tests for nonloadbearing walls?
Non-load bearing walls are constructed just for partition of the area and separate the rooms on the floor is known as non-load bearing wall. They are constructed especially on the framed structure where all the loads of the building or structure are carried by the beam and slab of the structure.
BS EN 15254-2 provides a test method for fire resistance which will ensure that the wall is able to withstand a fully developed fire and prevent the fire from spreading.
