This European Standard specifies a fire test method and an assessment procedure for determining the contribution of fire protection systems to the fire resistance performance of circular and rectangular steel bars used as tension members. This Standard applies to fire protection materials that have already been tested and assessed in accordance with EN 13381-4 or EN 13381-8 unless all the testing is carried out in accordance with Annex B using a minimum length of 2000 mm. For other section shapes such as angles, channels and flats, reference should be made to EN 13381-4 and EN 13381-8. This standard does not include steel bar used as reinforcement in concrete construction.
