BS EN 13381-4:2013 and BS EN 13381-8:2013 — Test methods for determining the contribution to the fire resistance of structural members (applied passive protection to steel; applied reactive protection to steel)

Provisions the documents cite: whole standards — the assessment behind a board or intumescent thickness table for a given section factor and fire period

What it requires

The thickness or dry film thickness required on a steel member comes from the product assessment made to these standards, read against the section factor and fire period on the drawings; the quality sheet records that thickness per member and the measured result against it.
