Beddeleem classification reports

The Royal Decree of 7 December 2016, which was published in the Official Journal on 18 January 2017, has made several changes to the Royal Decree on Basic Fire Standards, both in terms of fire resistance and in terms of the fire reactivity of construction products.

For partitions:

As such, partitions must now be tested according to the European standard in force and receive a classification under EN 13501-1 (-2). As a result, manufacturers must now submit a classification report (instead of a test report) to demonstrate compliance.
Beddeleem has the necessary classification reports at its disposal, for both EI30 and EI60 solid partitions in wood and metal panels.

For false ceilings:

There is an exception to this new legislation for suspended ceilings; the existing 30' classification for stability will remain under NBN 713-020. Beddeleem has this classification at its disposal for its ceiling products.

For fire-resistant door units:

The EN 16034 standard (Pedestrian doorsets, industrial, commercial, garage doors and openable windows – Product standard, performance characteristics – Fire resisting and/or smoke control characteristics) took effect on 1 November 2016 as a harmonised standard. This makes it possible to place fire-resistant door units with a CE mark on the market on the basis of the Construction Products Regulation and the EN 16034 standard.  At the European level, the coexistence period has been set until 1 November 2019. The coexistence period is the period during which fire-resistant door units with no CE mark may still be placed on the market. As a result, fire-resistant door units whose fire resistance has been assessed according to the NBN 713-020 standard and which do not yet have a CE mark may still be placed on the market until 1 November 2019.
However, these door units must still comply with a number of mechanical requirements under the Basic Standards legislation.
To comply with the above, Beddeleem only works with Benor-approved door units.
