Application of Fire Safety Engineering to define the domain of application of self-supporting double skin steel faced insulating sandwich panels in public buildings

摘要

In France, the regulation about insulation products used in a public building is described in AM8 article (notification 2004/0124/F) of the June 25* 1980 decree. This regulation is based on the consideration of the European reaction to fire classification of toe products, the Euroclass. In this regulation, insulation products without Ihennal screen can be used in direct contact with air if they are classified at least A2-s2;d0. If an insulation product does not fulfil this class, a thermal screen has to be applied on its exposed surface. This screen must bring a protection of 15 minutes for vertical walls and floors, of 30 minutes for other walls (Roofing…) towards the thermal action given by the standardized ISO-Fire.
