3 1. SUBJECT This report defines the resistance to fire classification in accordance with the procedures given in EN :2007+A1:2009 of a steel single skin cassette vertical roller shutter doorset from METACON, type METACON RGS EW 120 ECO, mounted in a standard low rigid supporting construction, see INVESTIGATION Determination of fire resistance according to EN : 2014; Fire resistance and smoke control tests for door and shutter assemblies, openable windows and elements of building hardware Part 1: Fire resistance test for door and shutter assemblies and openable windows. The steel rolling shutter assembly was tested at the non-direct-heated side in test I and at the direct-heated side in test II. The aim was to fulfil the performance criteria E (integrity = flame tightness) and W (radiation) for more than 120 minutes. 3. DETAILS OF CLASSIFIED PRODUCT 3.1 GENERAL For the dimensions and specifications of the materials and components of the examined construction, also see the figures in chapter 8. Details of the assembly of the construction are given in the paragraphs below. The density and moisture content of the relevant used building materials defined by the sponsor and measured by Efectis are mentioned in the table in paragraph TEST SPECIMEN The test specimen was a steel single skin cassette vertical roller shutter door-set from METACON, type METACON RGS EW 120 ECO TEST FRAME The test frame was constructed of steel beams with a fire resistant concrete lining. Dimensions Aperture 4000mm x 3500mm (w x h) Width of frame and concrete lining 250m SUPPORTING CONSTRUCTION The door set was built in a according to the EN standard low density rigid supporting construction being two aerated concrete piers with a lintel on top. Specifications Overall dimensions 4000mm x 3500mm (w x h) Aperture 3340mm x 2810mm (w x h) Material Aerated concrete This report consists of eleven pages and may only be used in its entirety.

4 Density 650kg/m 3 ± 200kg/m 3 Thickness 150mm A calcium silicate board panel was placed under the door set to simulate a non-combustible floor facing 200 mm from the edges of the door surface, thickness 20 mm SHUTTER The rolling shutter was built of steel skin insulated cassettes hooking at the top and bottom part of each cassette. At the top an interlock was mounted on the shutter and on the door. The bottom cassette comprised an armour limit cover as comprised the sides an armour end cap. The shutter was hung with increasing space between the hooks of the cassettes from bottom to top to prevent failure of the top flame barrier. The cassette at the level of the flame barrier of the guiding system comprised a tube in the top of the cassette. The upper part of the shutter comprised single skin laths.(see paragraph Figures for details) Dimensions door-set Overall 3800mm x 3300 mm (w x h) Specifications cassettes Material Thickness Electroplated steel 0.8mm Dimensions 3600mm x 117.5mm x 21.6mm (w x h x t) Insulation Manufacturer White blanket Insulcon Type Insulfrax, 128 kg / m 3 Bottom cassette Material Thickness Sides cassette Material Thickness Fixing end cap Type Dimensions L-shaped armour limit cover Electroplated steel 2mm Armour end cap Electroplated steel 0.8mm Blind rivets ST / ST Ø 4.8mm x 8mm Cassette flame barrier guiding system In top cavity of cassette Steel tube Dimensions 20mm x 20mm x 2mm (w x h x t) Specifications top flame barrier Dimensions flame barrier on test frame 3320mm x 80mm x 2mm (w x h x t) Dimensions flame barrier on the shutter 3320mm x 65mm x 2mm (w x h x t) This report consists of eleven pages and may only be used in its entirety.

5 Specifications top laths Material Electroplated steel Dimensions 3320mm x 110mm x 1mm (w x h x t) Diameter hook Ø 20mm Number laths SIDE GUIDES The side guides were made of a steel flame barrier and a steel tube welded together. Specifications Material guide flame barrier Electroplated steel Dimensions 80mm x 54mm x 3mm (w x h x t) Tube 50mm x 50mm x 2mm (w x h x t) Overall width 130mm Tightness door and guide flame barrier 58mm (see picture 7.1 in 7) 3.4 ELECTRONIC ROLLER SYSTEM In opened position the shutter is rolled upon a barrel. The power drive of the barrel was an electrical motor. On both sides axles were welded on the closed sides of the barrel. On the supporting construction left and right a console was mounted. The ball bearings are fixed with two bolts on the consoles. The shutter was mounted to the barrel with steel plate hooks fixed with bolts. Specifications Material consoles and barrel Steel Dimensions barrel Ø 133mm x 3600mm x 3mm (w x t) Thickness consoles Power drive Mounting axles barrel Mounting motor Mounting shutter top lath Diameter hook 2mm Electric motor on one side of barrel Ball bearings Motor bracket Steel plates with hooks Ø 20mm Number steel mounting plates 7 Bolts Dimensions 1 per plate Ø 8mm x 20mm This report consists of eleven pages and may only be used in its entirety.

AND FIELD OF DIRECT APPLICATION OF TEST RESULTS (DIAP) 6.1 REFERENCE OF The door sets have been classified in accordance with clause 7 of EN :2007+A1: The highest classification according to EN : A1:2009 is EW60. The door sets will be classified as follows: E120 EW FIELD OF APPLICATION This report details the method of construction, the test conditions and the results obtained when the specific element of construction described herein was tested following the procedure outlined in EN :2014. Any significant deviation with respect to size, constructional details, load stresses, edge or end conditions other than those allowed under the field of direct application in the relevant test method is not covered by this report. The conclusions in this chapter apply exclusively to al door set types mounted on an aerated concrete wall which are equivalent in detail, including fittings/furniture and materials used, to the structure described in this report and that also comply with the following conditions: 6.4 SPECIFIC RESTRICTIONS ON MATERIALS AND CONSTRUCTIONS The type of metal shall not be changed from that tested. The material thickness may be increased up to 50% but it shall not be reduced beyond acceptable metal industry tolerances The material thickness of side guides and barrel carrying end plates may be increased up to 50% but it shall not be reduced beyond acceptable metal industry tolerances The tightness between the shutter curtain and the vertical guides shall not be reduced for size decrease. See figure below. This report consists of eleven pages and may only be used in its entirety. Pagina 7 / 11

8 Figure 7.1 Source: EN1634-1: FIXINGS The number of fixings to attach the frame to the support structure may be increased but not decreased. The centre to centre distance between the fastenings may be reduced but not increased. 6.6 PERMISSIBLE SIZE VARIATIONS Both doorsets reached the extended time category B fulfilling the criteria E and W for more than 132 minutes, but not for the I criterion so for category B : Unlimited size decrease is permitted Size increase is not permitted. 6.7 SUPPORTING CONSTRUCTION The door set built on to a standard low density rigid support construction as specified in EN can be applied to a door set mounted in the same manner on a wall provided it has a density of at least 650 ± 200 kg/m 3 and a minimum wall thickness of 150 mm, with the same or higher fire resistance.
