ISO 3009:2003 PDF

Overview

ISO 3009:2003 - Fire-resistance tests - Elements of building construction - Glazed elements defines a standardized test method for assessing the fire-resistance performance of insulated and uninsulated glazed elements when exposed to heating on one face. It covers glazed separating elements (screens, glass-block walls, light-transmitting assemblies) in vertical, inclined or horizontal orientations and gives guidance for both planar and some non‑planar forms (e.g., pyramids). Doors and shutters are excluded (see ISO 3008).

Keywords: ISO 3009:2003, fire-resistance tests, glazed elements, fire-resistant glazing, insulated glazing, building construction.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope and applicability
  • Applies to glazed separating elements intended to be assessed in conjunction with ISO 834-1 (general fire-resistance tests).
  • Excludes door/shutter assemblies (ISO 3008).
  • Guidance for non-planar elements provided (Annex A).
• Specimen orientation and sizes
  • Defined orientation ranges: horizontal (0°–25°), inclined (>25°–80°), vertical (>80°–90°).
  • Vertical specimen sizing: full-size if the real construction is
