3.5
splice
coonection or junction between or within the length of a linear joint seal
3.6
supporting construction
construction that may be required for the testm9 of some separating elements into *4iidi the test specimen is assembled. e.g. the wall into which a linear joint seal is fitted
3.7
test construction
complete assernt,fy of the test specimen(s together th s s*..çpcwting construction
3,8
test specimen
linear joeM seat of a specific matenal. desii and dimensions provided for the purpose of determining either its fire resistance or its contribution to the fire resistance of another separating element
4 Test equipment
In addition to the test equipment specified in EN 1363-1, and if applicable EN 1363-2. the internal dimensions of the test furnace shall be such that a distance of at least 200 mm exists between the long edge of a linear joant and the wall of the furnace, subject to a mmlmum wttemal size of I m x I m x 1 m. Where the nominal width of the linear joint seal is greater than 300 mm, the mitral sAze of the furnace shell be at least 3m x 3m x 1 m (see 6.2), Mere the nominal wdh of the linear joint seal in the test specimen is greater than 100 mm and less thai or equal to 300 nvn, the size of the furnace shall at least be able to heat a length of 10 times the nominal width of the linear joint
5 Test conditions
5.1 Heating conditions
The heating and furnace atmosphere shall conform to those even in EN 1363-1 or, d appbcable, EN 1363-2.
5.2 Pressure conditions
A vertical furnace shall be operated so that a minimum pressure of 15 Pa exists in the centre of the lest specimen mounted in the lowest position.
A horizontal furnace shall be operated so that a minimum pressure of (20 ± 2) Pa is established at a posibon (100±10) mm below the lowest point of the test construction.
