1 CONSTRUCTION DETAILS
TEST ASSEMBLY
The test assembly comprised a nominal 3200mm x 3200mm x 110mm thick
cored concrete block wall incorporating two single leaf particle board core
doorsets.
TEST SPECIMEN
The test specimens comprised two single leaf particle board core doorsets
referred to as Door A and Door B for the purposes of this test report. Further
details are provided in Figures A1.1 to A1.6 and the schedule of components
Section 2.
ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION METHODS

The cored concrete block wall was built into a steel restraint frame, incorporating
openings for the doorsets, by a building contractor at WFRA Melbourne
commencing on the 19th October 2007 and under the supervision of a WFRA
representative. The test applicant supplied and installed the single leaf doorsets
(including leafs, frames and all door hardware) commencing on the
24th October 2007 and under the supervision of a WFRA representative.
ORIENTATION
The specimen was installed with Door A swinging towards the furnace and
Door B swinging away from the furnace.

ITEM DESCRIPTION
Supporting Construction
Description 110mm thick cored concrete block wall.
Door Sill One course of solid concrete blocks 10.31s 390mm x 190mm x 90mm
with three courses of concrete bricks 230mm x 110mm x 75mm above
with the top course laid perpendicular to the wall to form a sill for the
doorsets.
Blocks above sill Twelve courses of cored concrete blocks were laid on the sill to form the
openings and an additional three courses were laid above the openings
including one lintel beam course which included a single D16
reinforcement rod with premixed concrete filling the void.
Sealant Lorient intumescent mastic was used to seal the gap (backed by
Rockwool on the RH side and top as gap between 15-20mm) between
the edge of the door frames and the opening in the concrete block wall
on both sides.

3 TEST PROCEDURE
STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
The test was performed in general accordance with the requirements of
BS 476: Part 20: 1987 and BS 476: Part 22: 1987 Part 6 as appropriate for
insulated doorsets, other than the variations stated below.
VARIATIONS FROM TEST STANDARDS

The furnace temperature was measured by 6-off mineral insulated metal
sheathed Type K thermocouples with wire diameters not greater than 1mm and
overall diameter of 3mm with the measuring junction insulated from the sheath.
The thermocouples protruded a minimum of 25mm from steel supporting tubes.
BS 476: Part 20: 1987 specifies the furnace temperature to be measured by 6-off
Nickel chromium/nickel aluminium wire contained within a mineral insulation and
in a heat resisting steel sheet of diameter 1.5mm, the hot junctions being
electrically insulated from the sheath. The thermocouple hot junction shall
project 25mm from a porcelain insulator.
This variation, is considered to make the test slightly more onerous, however
would not have significantly affected the results of the fire-resistance test.
The furnace pressure varied more than as prescribed by BS 476: Part 22: 1987
during the period of 5-15 minutes test duration but was above that prescribed
(maximum pressure level variation +2 Pa). It is considered that the test pressure
has created a more severe exposure than if tested in full accordance
BS 476: Part 22: 1987.
PRE-TEST CONDITIONING
The specimen was stored in the test laboratory prior to testing and was subjected
to indoor ambient normal laboratory conditions for approximately two days (after
wall completion) prior to testing.
SAMPLING / SPECIMEN SELECTION

The laboratory was not involved in the selection of the test specimen for test.
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE
The ambient temperature at the start of the test was 20°C and remained at this
until the end of the test.
Page 9 of 37
TEST DURATION
The test was terminated after approximately 42 minutes at the request of the test
sponsor.
INSTRUMENTATION AND EQUIPMENT

The instrumentation was provided in accordance with BS 476: Part 22: 1987
except for the furnace control thermocouples as mentioned above.
The furnace temperature was measured by 6-off mineral insulated metal
sheathed Type K thermocouples with wire diameters not greater than 1mm and
overall diameter of 3mm with the measuring junction insulated from the sheath.
The thermocouples protruded a minimum of 25mm from steel supporting tubes.
The non fire side specimen temperatures were measured by Type K
thermocouples with wire diameters less than 0.5mm diameter soldered to 12mm
diameter × 0.2mm thick copper discs covered by a 30mm × 30mm × 2.0 mm
inorganic insulating pads. The thermocouples positions are described in Table
A3.1, and are shown on Figure A3.1 in Appendix 3. A roving thermocouple was
available to measure temperatures at positions that appear hotter than the
positions monitored by fixed thermocouples.
Deflection measurements were taken from calibrated tapes, fixed to the test
specimen, using a Telescope Levelling Instrument (Dumpy Level) Model 200B, at
the positions shown on Figure A3.2 in Appendix 3.
The furnace pressure was measured approximately 1000mm above sill level.
Cotton pads and gap gauges were available during the test to assess the
performance under the criteria for integrity up to unexposed face temperatures of
300°C for both Doorsets. After that time gap gauges only were available to
assess the performance under the criteria for integrity.

6 APPLICATION OF TEST RESULTS
TEST LIMITATIONS
The results of this fire test may be used to directly assess fire hazard, but it
should be recognized that a single test method will not provide a full assessment
of fire hazard under all fire conditions. The results only relate to the behaviour of
the specimen of the element of the construction under the particular conditions of
the test; they are not intended to be the sole criteria for assessing the potential
fire performance of the element in use nor do they necessarily reflect the actual
behaviour in fires.
VARIATIONS FROM THE TESTED SPECIMENS

This report details the methods of construction, the test conditions and the results
obtained when the specific element of construction described herein was tested
following the procedure outlined in BS 476: Parts 20 & 22: 1987. Any significant
variation with respect to size, constructional details, loads, stresses, edge or end
conditions, other than those allowed under the field of direct application in the
relevant test method, is not addressed by this report. It is recommended that any
proposed variation to the tested configuration should be referred to the test
sponsor in the first instance to obtain appropriate documentary evidence of
compliance from Warrington Fire Research or another Registered Testing
Authority.
UNCERTAINTY OF MEASUREMENT
Because of the nature of fire resistance testing and the consequent difficulty in
quantifying the uncertainty of measurement of fire resistance, it is not possible to
provide a stated degree of accuracy of the result.

Notes: Limit time is the time to the nearest whole minute, rounded down to the nearest minute, at which
the temperature recorded by the thermocouple does not rise by more than 180K above the initial
temperature.
2
Limit time is the time to the nearest whole minute, rounded down to the nearest minute, at which
the average temperature recorded by the thermocouples (quarter points) does not rise by more
than 140K above the initial average temperature.
3
Refer to Appendix 3 for locations of thermocouples as only a generic description is included in
the table.
‘-’ Under limit column indicates the temperature limit was not exceeded during the test period or up
until the time of integrity failure if a failure occurred.
# Indicates thermocouple fault.

These thermocouples were close to the glazing feature therefore not used to measure the
insulation performance of the doorset in accordance with BS476: Part 22: 1987.
‘-’ Under limit column indicates the temperature limit was not exceeded during the test period or up
until the time of integrity failure if a failure occurred.
