Fire Safety of Facades
- Fire safety of façades is a complex topic regarding the different façades systems which differ in build and as well in possible fire safety measures. A great variation of materials is used in façade systems which also have a wide spread variation of reaction-to-fire behaviour. As building regulations are national legislations the implementation of fire safety of façade systems in building regulations differs significantly in different countries. Therefore the testing and classification of façade systems differs as well hugely. Approaches to regulate the material only are as well in use as to concentrate mainly on large scale testing and several approaches in between. It was not possible yet to find a harmonized test for façades in Europe. However, in many countries severe fires with combustible façade systems brought the challenges of fire safety of façades to a greater awareness. An overview over different large scale test and implementation in building regulations shows theFire safety of façades is a complex topic regarding the different façades systems which differ in build and as well in possible fire safety measures.

Challenges in fire safety of façades regarding the testing, the weathering, aging and damage of the systems and the impact on fire safety are discussed.…
