INTRODUCTION This report has been produced by International Fire Consultants Ltd (IFC) to provide an engineering assessment of timber-based door and glazed screen frame installation using Fire and Acoustic Seals Ltd's ‘Fire Door Foam’ and/or ‘Intumescent Acrylic Sealant’. The report will consider the systems use on the installation of otherwise tested, assessed or Third Party Certified door assemblies or glazed screens into their supporting construction. IFC have prepared this report on the instruction of Fire and Acoustic Seals Ltd. Fire resisting assemblies are rarely installed in an identical form to that which was tested. The specification will invariably require their installation into supporting construction that has not been formed in the same way that was tested. The result of a fire resistance test can apply to variations in configuration/construction, as long as they do not reduce the performance to one which is below that specified. The influence of those variations is covered by a judgement, sometimes made by the approving authority. Where the approving authority does not feel technically able to make such judgements, or, does not wish to take responsibility for them, then a third party expert judgement is often sought. Such a judgement is often expressed in the form of an assessment of the performance, which is generally supported by fire resistance test evidence. This assessment has been produced using the principles outlined in the Passive Fire Protection Forum (PFPF): ‘Guide to undertaking technical assessments of the fire performance of construction products based on fire test evidence, 2019, Industry Standard Procedure’ When establishing the variations in the construction that can achieve the required fire resistance performance, IFC complies with the principles found in the following documents: * BS ISO/TR 12470-2: 2017 Fre resistance tests - Guidance on the application and extension of results from tests conducted on fire containment assemblies and products. Part 2: Non-load bearing elements’ © EN 15725: 2010: ‘Extended application reports on the fire performance of construction products and building elements’ Fire and Acoustic Seals Ltd's ‘Fire Door Foam’ has been included in several fire resistance tests, with and without ‘Intumescent Acrylic Sealant’. As stated in BS8214: 2016, Section 9.4.2, Provided that the expanding foam has been tested uncapped on both faces (e. without architraves) in accordance with 85476-20 or BS EN1366-4, with a minimum gap width of 20mm and a maximum full fil depth of 100mm, the expanding foam is approved for frame to supporting construction gap Widths up to 20mm and for all frame depths: Wt is the evaluation of IFC that Fire and Acoustic Seals ‘Fire Door Foam’ exceeds the minimum requirements quoted in BS 8214 where it makes reference to expanding foam ~ See Section 9.4.2, Note 2. Frame Installation Using Fire end Acoustic Seals Ltd's "Fire Door Foam’ IFC Engineering and/or Fire and Acoustic Seals Ltd’s “Intumescent Acrylic Sealant’ for 30, Assessment Report 60, 90 or 120 Minute Timber-Based Door Assemblies and Glazed Screens PAR/18385/01 Revision B Prepared for: Fire and Acoustic Seals Lid Page 4 of 20 International Fire Consultants LtdIn line with the guidance outlined in BS8214: 2016, ‘for expanding foams that have been tested in accordance with 5476-20 or BS EN1366-4, outside these parameters, the maximum width and required depth of foam is dictated by the manufacturer’ tested ‘approval and instructions, This could indlude restrictions on the type of surrounding ‘structure that is approved for use with the expanding foam. ’Fire and Acoustic Seals ‘Fire Door Foam’ has been tested beyond these parameters, the scope of approval for the use of this product is detailed within this Field of Application report, considering the performance of Fire and Acoustic Seals 'Fire Door Foam’, as part of a fire resisting assembly, when tested in accordance with BS476: Part 22 or BS EN 1634-1; 2014 + Al: 2018. Notwithstanding the alternative installation arrangements shown in BS 8214: 2016 Tables 2 to 5, the available test evidence demonstrates that Fire & Acoustic Seals ‘Fire Door Foam’ can be installed with or without additional intumescent capping. Fire and Acoustic Seals Ltd’s ‘Fire Door Foam’ has been tested in accordance with BS EN 1634-3: 2004 (Smoke Control Test for Doors, Windows and Shutters - ambient temperature) filing 2 33mm wide x 70mm deep gap, including plastic packers. A summary of the test can be found in Appendix B but the manufacturer should be consulted for full guidance on its application and use. DOOR AND GLAZED SCREEN ASSEMBLIES Timber-based fire resisting door assemblies and glazed screens must have suitable fire resistance test evidence, or have been assessed for fire resistance integrity in accordance with BS476: Part 22: 1987 or BS EN 1634-1: 2014 + Al: 2018 for 30, 60, 90 or 120 minutes, as applicable. They must also have relevant fire resistance test evidence covering their installation within the supporting constructions outlined within this report (Sections 4.2- 4,5) and fire resistance test evidence to cover the door frame materials outlined in Section 4a. Whilst this report refers to ‘timber-based’ fire resisting door assemblies and glazed screens, the primary focus is the framing material, which in all instances is timber-based, either solid timber or MDF frames, as applicable. Glazed screens will obviously contain glass and glazing systems within their design and door assemblies will also comprise hardware, intumescent materials, glazed apertures and even elements of the door leaf which may not be timber- based. The maximum assembly height that this method of fire-stopping applies to is limited to 2750mm. 3. TEST EVIDENCE Test evidence is available to support the use of Fire and Acoustic Seals Ltd’s ‘Fire Door Foam’ and “Intumescent Acrylic Sealant’ with timber-based fire resisting door assemblies and glazed screens and is summarised in Appendix A. Frame Installation Using Fire and Acoustic Seals Ltd's ‘Fire Door Foam’ IFC Engineering and/or Fire and Acoustic Seals Lta’s “Intumescent Acrylic Sealant’ for 30, Assessment Report 60, 90 or 120 Minute Timber-Based Door Assemblies and Glazed Screens PAR/18385/01 Revision B Prepared for: Fire and Acoustic Seals Ltd Page 5 of 20 International Fire Consultants Ltd4 GUIDANCE ON INSTALLATION In order to maintain the fire resistance of a fire-resisting wall or partition when fitted with a ‘door/screen assembly, the junction between the two elements should be adequately sealed. Ideally, a wall or partition should be built up to the rear of the frame of a door/screen assembly without any gaps. However, as this is not always possible, and to ensure easy installation of the assembly, the opening is often made with permitted tolerance gaps to facilitate the installation of the assembly and to allow for any adjustments. The gap between the frame and wall opening can vary greatly and can be masked with an architrave. The following sections give guidance on the installation of the frame of a door/screen assembly and the filling of the gap between the frame and supporting construction. 41 Frame Installation Unless evidence for the respective assembly gives more restrictive specifications, the frames must be fixed back to suitable fixing points within the supporting construction with steel fixings at centres not exceeding 600mm on the vertical edges; (minimum 200mm from the top and bottom of each jamb/frame member). Screws shall be of sufficient length to penetrate the wall by at least 40mm and shall be positioned such that they are not exploited by charring of the frame, irrespective of the direction of test exposure; (this may necessitate a twin line of screws). PVC, timber (minimum density as per door frame material), MOF (minimum density 700kg/m?) or hardboard (minimum density 800kg/m*) packers shall be used at all fixing positions. Minimum frame depths for the different fire ratings are to be as outlined in the table below, unless the evidence for the respective assembly requires deeper frames. Frames must meet ‘or exceed all other required specifications detailed for their use as outlined in their respective fire approval documentation. The choice of frame material must be as tested/assessed for the specific door/glass type, but the proposed method of fire stopping would only be applicable if thelr respective fire approval documentation covers the use of the following frame materials: Frame Installation Using Fire and Acoustic Seals Ltd's ‘Fire Door Foam’ IFC Engineering and/or Fire and Acoustic Seals Ltc’s “Intumescent Acrylic Sealant’ for 30, Assessment Report 60, 90 or 120 Minute Timber-Based Door Assemblies and Glazed Screens _PAR/18385/01 Revision B Prepared for: Fire and Acoustic Seals Lid Page 6 of 20 International Fire Consultants Ltdi.

DECLARATION BY THE APPLICANT Reference: IFC Engineering Assessment Report PAR/18385/01 Revision B We, the undersigned, confirm that we have read and complied with the obligations placed on us by the Passive Fire Protection Forum (PFPF) Guide to undertaking technical assessments of the fire performance of construction products based on fire test evidence 2019 Industry Standard Procedure We confirm that the component or element of structure, which is the subject of this assessment has not to our knowledge been subjected to a fire test to the standard against which this assessment is being made. We confirm that the change which is the subject of this assessment has not to our knowledge been tested to the standard against which this assessment has been made. We agree to withdraw this assessment from circulation should the component or element of structure be the subject of a fire test to the standard against which this assessment Is being made. ‘We understand that this assessment is based on test evidence and will be withdrawn should evidence become available that causes the conclusion to be questioned. In that case, we accept that new test evidence may be required. We are not aware of any information that could affect the conclusions of this assessment. IF we subsequently become aware of any such information, we agree to ask International Signature: Name: TP Vorcans Position Manaerne DitectoR Company: Fire and Acoustic Seals Ltd Date: ‘Tra May 2020 Frame Installation Using Fire and Acoustic Seals Ltd's ‘Fire Door Foam’ IFC Engineering and/or Fire and Acoustic Seals Ltd's ‘Intumescent Acrylic Sealant’ for 30, Assessment Report 60, 90 or 120 Minute Timber-Based Door Assemblies and Glazed Screens _ PAR/18385/01 Revision B Prepared for: Fire and Acoustic Seals Ltd Page 14 of 20 International Fire Consultants Ltda LIMITATIONS This Engineering Assessment Report, which is only valid for timber-based door or glazed screen installations using Fire and Acoustic Seals Ltd's ‘Fire Door Foam’ and/or Fire and Acoustic Seals Ltd’s ‘Intumescent Acrylic Sealant’, only covers assemblies with suitable fire resistance test evidence in accordance with BS476: Part 22: 1987 or BS EN 1634-1: 2014 + Al: 2018 for 30, 60, 90 or 120 minutes, as applicable, and addresses itself solely to the ability of the assemblies described to satisfy the criteria of the fire resistance test. It does not imply any suitability for use with respect to other unspecified criteria. This document only considers the assemblies described, herein, and assumes that the surrounding construction will provide no less restraint than the tested assembly, and that it will remain in place and be substantially intact for the full fire resistance period. This assessment is issued on the basis of test data and information to hand at the time of issue. If contradictory evidence becomes available to International Fire Consultants Ltd (IFC) the assessment will be unconditionally withdrawn and the applicant will be notified in writing. Similarly, the assessment evaluation is invalidated if the assessed construction is subsequently tested since actual test data is deemed to take precedence, ‘As per the guidance outlined in the Passive Fire Protection Forum (PFPF): ‘Guide to undertaking technical assessments of the fire performance of construction products based on fire test evidence, 2019, Industry Standard Procedure’, appropriate action has been taken to mitigate the risk of a conflict of interest arising during the preparation of this report. All individuals involved in the production, or subsequent review, of this assessment have declared any perceived conflicts of interest, with regards to the sponsor or subject(s) of this report, prior to working on this project. ‘The assessor and reviewer have been deemed suitable for involvement in the production of this assessment in accordance with the guidance outlined in the Passive Fire Protection Forum (PFPF): ‘Guide to undertaking technical assessments of the fire performance of construction products based on fire test evidence, 2019, Industry Standard Procedure’ Where the constructional information in this report is taken from details provided to International Fire Consultants Ltd (IFC) and/or from fire resistance test reports referenced herein, itis, therefore, limited to the information given in those documents. It is necessarily dependent upon the accuracy and completeness of that information. Where constructional or manufacturing details are not specified, or discussed herein, it should not, therefore, be taken to infer approval of variation in such details from those tested or otherwise approved. The analysis and conclusions within this report are based upon the likely fire resisting performance of a complete assembly that is manufactured and installed in accordance with this document, and offered for fire resistance testing in ‘perfect’ condition. In practice, management procedures must be in place in any building where the assemblies are installed, to ensure that no parts of the assembly are damaged or faulty.

Determination of what constitutes wear or damage, and any corrective actions in order to return assemblies to the required condition, should only be carried out following consultation with the manufacturer and IFC. Where the assessed constructions have not been subject to an on-site audit by International Fire Consultants Ltd, it is the responsibility of anyone using this report to confirm that all aspects of the assemblies fully comply with the descriptions and limitations, herein. ‘Any materials specified in this report have been selected and judged primarily on their fire performance. IFC do not claim expertise in areas other than fire safety. Whilst observing all possible care in the specification of solutions, we would draw the reader's attention to the fact that during the construction and procurement process, the materials used should be subjected to more general examination regarding the wider Health and Safety, and CoSHH Regulations. Designers, manufacturers and installers are reminded of their responsibilities under the CDM Regulations; but particularly with regard to installation and maintenance of heavy or inaccessible items. This assessment considers the fire resistance performance of the door assemblies when tested with the leaves in the closed position, within the frame reveal; either retained by the latch, or self-closing device, or locked shut, as applicable. The door assemblies will only provide the assessed fire performance when in a similar configuration; and it is the responsibility of the building occupants/owner to ensure that this is the case. This Report is provided to the sponsor on the basis that it is a professional independent engineering evaluation as to what the fire performance of the construction/system would be should it to be tested to the named standard. It is IFC's experience that such an evaluation is normally acceptable in support of an application for building approvals, certainly throughout the UK and in many parts of Europe and the rest of the world However, unless IFC have been commissioned to liaise with the Authorities that have jurisdiction for the building in question for the purpose of obtaining the necessary approvals, IFC cannot assure that the document will satisfy the requirements of the particular building regulations for any building being constructed. It is, therefore, the responsibility of the sponsor to establish whether this evidence Is appropriate for the application for which it is being supplied and IFC cannot take respor ility for any costs incurred as a result of any rejection of the document for reasons ‘outside of our control. Early submittal of the Report to the Authorities will minimise any risks in this respect.
