This document specifies the heating condition, method of test and criteria for the evaluation of the ability of a penetration sealing system to maintain the integrity and insulation of a fire-separating element at the position at which it has been penetrated.

This document assesses:

1. the effect of such penetrations on the integrity and insulation performance of the element concerned,
2. the integrity and insulation performance of the penetration sealing system, and
3. the insulation performance of the penetrating service or services, and where appropriate, the integrity failure of a service.

NOTE 1        Optional water and air leakage tests are included in Annex A.

NOTE 2        Explanatory notes are included in Annex B.
