Field of direct application
The field of direct application defines the permissible variations that can be introduced to a tested specimen without requiring further testing or assessment. These modifications can be directly applied to tested systems and are generally considered conservative.
Note that this test was carried out with the fire on the side with the Kooltherm K118.
Please note that any number of these variations can be considered at the same time.
Height: the maximum permitted construction height is 3 m.
Width: the width of the construction (3 m) can be increased without limitation.
Wall thickness: the width of the construction can be increased without limitation.
Component thickness: the thickness of individual components may be increased.
Board and panel sizes: there may be a decrease in the linear dimensions of boards or panels, but not a decrease in thickness.
Stud spacing: the maximum stud spacing is 600 mm, but reduction in spacing is permitted.
Fixing centres: the distance between fixings may be reduced.
Applied load: this could be decreased (the total load applied was 40 kN on a 3000 mm high sample).
Any variations to the tested system beyond those outlined above could be considered as part of a technical fire assessment prepared in accordance with the PFPF Guidelines.
