EN 13823 Standard Single Burning Item Tester with 3000mm×3000mm×2500mm Combustion Chamber and 15kW Power

The EN 13823 Single Burning Item (SBI) tester is a critical European standard (EN 13823:2020+A1:2022) within the Euroclass fire classification system (EN 13501-1). This advanced testing equipment evaluates the fire reaction performance of building products (excluding floorings) by measuring key parameters including heat release rate, smoke production, and flame spread under controlled single burning item conditions.

EN 13823:2020+A1:2022: Reaction to fire tests for building products - Building products excluding floorings exposed to the thermal attack by a single burning item (SBI). Related standards include EN ISO 1182, EN ISO 1716, EN ISO 11925-2, with international equivalents such as GB/T 20284-2006 (China), NF P 92-501 (France), and ASTM E1354 (USA).

• Wall and ceiling linings: Gypsum boards, wood panels, metal/plastic composite panels, fiber cement boards, ceramic tiles
• Insulation materials: Mineral wool, polystyrene foam, polyurethane foam, glass fiber, rock wool boards
• Coatings and treatments: Fire-retardant paints, varnishes, wallpapers, decorative films, powder coatings
• Facade systems: ETICS, curtain wall panels, aluminum composite panels, HDPE panels
• Duct and linear products: Pipe insulation sleeves, cable trunking covers, ventilation duct linings
• Composite products: Sandwich panels, honeycomb panels, laminates, PVC sheets, acrylic sheets

The test specimen, consisting of two vertical wings at right angles, is exposed to a propane-generated flame (30.7 ± 2.0 kW output) from a main burner at the bottom corner. The 20-minute test evaluates combustion performance through heat release, smoke production, lateral flame spread, and combustion droplets/particulate matter.
