DIN EN 16623:2013-07

This European Standard relates to reactive coatings in end use conditions and covers the reactive coating alone or in conjunction with primers and top-coats and if applicable, reinforcement systems.This European Standard sets out the performance criteria, the verification methods used to examine the various aspects of performance, the assessment criteria used to judge the performance for the intended use and the presumed conditions for the design and execution of the reactive coating in the worksThis European Standard relates to reactive coatings for the fire protection of structural steel including galvanised steel, I and H section beams and columns, circular and rectangular hollow section beams and columns, concrete filled hollow sections and beams with openings in the web.This European Standard is not applicable to tension members, stainless steel elements and structural elements made of timber or concrete alone. This European Standard is not intended for use in conjunction with fire protection systems for hydrocarbon fire exposures.This European Standard deals with the performance of the reactive coating in fire and also the compatibility with primers and with top-coats, its durability in a number of different service and end use conditions. In particular it sets out methods for the identification, characterisation, initial type testing and conformity of the reactive coating system. The standard defines common procedures of audit testing for continued product surveillance in the market place. This European Standard includes requirements for marking and labelling.This European Standard does not specify the required level (the levels required for a given application are to be found in regulations) of a given property to be achieved by a product to demonstrate fitness for purpose in a particular application. This European Standard establishes the route for generic primer approval and the use of specific top-coats with which the reactive coating may carry the CE mark.This European Standard provides guidelines for the manufacture, storage, application, maintenance and repair of the reactive coating system and final inspection of works.
