scope:

This European Standard relates to reactive coating systems intended to provide fire protection to ferrous based structural members, including various grades and types of steel. This Standard covers the performance characteristics of such reactive coating systems in the end use conditions. The scope of fire resistance performance of ferrous substrates protected with a reactive coating covered in this Standard is determined in accordance with the CEN Standards EN 13381-5, EN 13381-6, EN 13381-8, EN 13381-9 and EN 13381-10. This standard sets out a common basis for characterisation/performance of the reactive coating system in the end use conditions and the results have to be used in conjunction with the results of an evaluation to prEN 16623 1 to provide a basis of compliance with this standard.
