Overview
SIST EN 15269-5:2026 establishes methodology for the extended application of test results for fire resistance and/or smoke control of hinged and pivoted metal-framed glazed doorsets and openable windows. This European standard, issued by SIST, is part of the EN 15269 series and provides a structured approach for using test evidence-primarily from EN 1634-1 fire resistance tests-to justify performance claims across additional configurations and product variations not directly tested. It specifically addresses assemblies with steel or aluminium-based frames but excludes horizontal doorsets and does not cover the effect on Classification 'C' post-extension.
Key Topics
- Fire Resistance Classifications: Supports extension for integrity (E), integrity & radiation (EW), and integrity & insulation (EI1 or EI2) classes.
- Product Types: Applies to hinged and pivoted steel or aluminium framed, glazed doorsets and openable windows. “Doorset” covers both doorsets and door assemblies.
- Component Variations: Extended application rules consider vision panels, framed glazed doorsets, air transfer grilles, various seals, overpanels, side/transom panels, hardware items, and decorative/protective finishes.
- Testing Basis: Uses evidence from EN 1634-1 (for complete assemblies) and EN 1634-2 (for hardware elements).
- Parameter Variations: Details allowable changes in construction, dimensions, infill materials, number of leaves, and differences in sealing and hardware - with or without additional testing.
- Report Requirements: Specifies preparation of an extended application report and a corresponding classification report referencing EN 13501-2.
Applications
SIST EN 15269-5:2026 is critical for:
- Manufacturers of metal framed fire doors and glazed windows: Enables broader product certification based on limited physical testing, reducing costs and time-to-market.
- Testing laboratories and certification bodies: Provides harmonized criteria for evaluating evidence and issuing extended application reports.
- Architects and specifiers: Assures that chosen steel or aluminium glazed doorsets meet fire resistance requirements not just in baseline tested forms, but also in common design or installation variations.
- Building hardware producers: Clarifies the impact of different hardware combinations on fire performance, providing pathways for inclusion without redundant tests.
Examples of practical applications include:
- Substituting similar glazed elements or alternative seals in a certified fire door system.
- Extending the tested fire resistance rating from a single door to similar double leaf or larger-size configurations, following the defined rules and, when necessary, extra tests.
- Adjusting products for project-specific architectural requirements (e.g., adding overpanels, side panels, or louvres) without individual fire tests for every permutation.
Related Standards
For comprehensive compliance and testing, reference the following linked standards:
- EN 1634-1: Fire resistance tests for door, shutter, and openable window assemblies.
- EN 1634-2: Tests for building hardware’s contribution to fire resistance.
- EN 13501-2: Classification of construction elements based on fire resistance test data.
- EN 15269-1: General requirements for extended application of fire resistance test results for these assemblies.
- EN 15254-4: Extended application for fire resistant non-loadbearing walls, focusing on glazed constructions.
Practical Value
By leveraging SIST EN 15269-5:2026, stakeholders can:
- Ensure fire safety compliance for a wide variety of metal framed glazed doors and windows.
- Optimise product development and certification strategies, especially in projects demanding diverse or non-standard configurations.
- Meet European regulatory requirements efficiently, with harmonized, evidence-based extension rules for fire resistance and smoke control.
This standard is an essential resource for the secure integration of fire-rated steel or aluminium glazed doorsets and openable windows, ensuring both safety and design flexibility.

4 Determination of the field of extended application
4.1 General
4.1.1 Before there can be any consideration for extended application, two representative specimens of
the doorset, one with the exposure of the opening face and one with the exposure of the closing face, shall
have been tested in accordance with EN 1634-1 to achieve a test result which could generate a fire
resistance classification in accordance with EN 13501-2 at least equal to the fire resistance classification
required from extended application considerations. These tests are referred to in this document as basic
tests.
NOTE If a doorset is classified from one side only (e.g. just opening face), the extended application rules cannot
lead to a classification of the opposite side or of both sides.
4.1.2 A review of the doorset construction parameters can indicate that one or more characteristics
may be improved by a particular construction parameter variation. All evaluations shall be made on the
basis of retaining the classifications obtainable from testing to EN 1634-1, including those lower than the
test duration. However, this shall never lead to an increased classification for any specific construction
parameter beyond that achieved during any one fire resistance test unless specifically identified in
Table A.1.
4.1.3 If, when following the extended application procedure, any component of the classified product
cannot be covered by the extended application rules, a representative specimen incorporating the
particular construction parameter variation shall be tested on both sides or on one side, if the required
classification is from one side only. Otherwise, that part shall be omitted from the subsequent extended
application report and classification report.
4.1.4 A hardware performance sheet (HPS), according to EN 16035 may be part of the documentation
for the assessment and determination of the extended application.
4.1.5 If the extension of the design parameter variations of Annex A, Table A.1 does not prevent the
doorset from reaching the fully closed position, the rules may be used for a ‘C’ classification, provided
that all test evidence used as a basis has resulted in a ‘C’ classification.”
4.2 How to use extended application rules in Annex A, Table A.1
4.2.1 Identify the variations from the original fire resistance test specimen(s) which are required to be
covered by an extended application report.
4.2.2 Locate the variations in the appropriate parameter variation by reference to columns (1) and (2)
of Annex A, Table A.1.
4.2.3 Establish from the contents of column (3) of Annex A, Table A.1 whether any extended application
is available beyond the direct application rules (DIAP) in EN 1634-1 without the need for further testing
4.2.4 Where this is deemed to be possible this can be recorded in the extended application report
together with any appropriate restrictions and the stated rules from column (3) of Annex A, Table A.1.
4.2.5 Where the variations required can only be achieved from additional testing, the additional test
should be made on a representative test specimen, i.e. a doorset of the same or more onerous
configuration. Alternatively, column (4) of Annex A, Table A.1 identifies an option for alternative testing
and relevant test parameters.
The most onerous configuration shall be the one with the lowest relevant performance in terms of mode
of failure and/or highest distortion but shall also be evaluated taking the intended construction
parameter variation(s) into account.
For example, if the construction parameter variation involves a change to glazing or side panel and over
panel configurations then the previous result where these have been tested would need to be used to
make the evaluation of most onerous.
4.2.6 When an additional test according to column (4) of Annex A, Table A.1 is performed and the result
of this additional test meets the provisions given in column (3), the possible extensions in column (3) can
be applied based on this additional test.
4.3 Procedure for maximum field of extended application
4.3.1 It is possible to provide an extended field of application from a single test. However, where a
manufacturer intends to produce a range of doorsets incorporating single leaf doorsets and also double
leaf doorsets with or without side, transom or flush over panels, with or without glazing, with or without
air transfer devices, e.g. ventilation grilles or louvers, with alternative items of building hardware, etc., it
is recommended that careful consideration is given to the complete range of doorset designs and options
in order to minimize the testing required before testing commences.
4.3.2 Establish all the construction parameter variations which are required to be part of the product
range.
4.3.3 Determine which are the most important design and configuration requirements and incorporate
as many as possible into the specimen(s) for the first tests in the series.
4.3.4 Conduct the first fire resistance test or a series of tests and then establish which of the original
desired construction parameter variations have not been covered by the fire resistance tests, including
direct application possibilities.
4.3.5 Identify these construction parameter variations in Annex A, Table A.1 and establish if any
extended application is possible without further testing.
4.3.6 Record this for the extended application report together with any restrictions and rules given in
column (3) in Annex A, Table A.1.
4.3.7 Evaluate which, if any, of the desired construction parameter variations have not been covered
by the field of direct application or the initial field of extended application derived from 4.3.5.
4.3.8 Determine if the product range is to include only single leaf doorsets, only double leaf doorsets or
both. Where only single leaf doorsets are to be part of the product range, the outstanding construction
parameter variations shall only be incorporated into specimens for the single leaf doorset. Where only
double leaf doorsets are to be part of the product range, the outstanding construction parameter
variations shall only be incorporated into specimens for double leaf doorsets. Where single leaf and
double leaf doorsets are to be included in the product range, the outstanding construction parameter
variations for the extended application of single leaf doorsets may be incorporated into either repeated
single leaf doorset fire resistance tests or in the most onerous configuration, as defined in column (4) of
Annex A, Table A.1, double leaf doorset configurations. See also Annex B.
4.3.9 Select the required outstanding construction parameter variations from column (1) and
column (2) of Annex A, Table A.1 and observe from column (4) of Annex A, Table A.1 which are the most
onerous specimen configurations for further testing.
4.3.10 If the complete selection of required construction parameter variations has not been covered by
the tests completed in accordance with 4.3.8 and 4.3.9 above, then an appropriate fire resistance test or
tests may be repeated with the additional product variations incorporated.
4.4 Analysis of fire resistance test results
4.4.1 In order to maximize the extended field of application, it is important that the test reports shall
record details of any premature integrity and/or insulation and/or radiation failure, also record details
of any significant distortion to evaluate low, medium and high distortion (see Annex A, Table A.1).
4.4.2 Where a series of fire resistance tests have been conducted, the field of extended application shall
be based on the lowest performance achieved from the complete series of fire resistance tests unless
premature failure has been attributed to one or more specific construction parameter variation.
4.4.3 Where it has been possible to clearly identify failures that can be unambiguously assigned to a
specific construction parameter variation, the extended application for all other construction parameter
variations can be based on the performance achieved after isolating the premature failure(s), provided
the requirements of 4.1.1 are met. Where the specific construction parameter variation requires
category B performance (see EN 1634-1 for the corresponding overrun times) and where failures can be
identified as having no relevance to this aspect of the construction, they can be disregarded, and the
failure time and associated category revised accordingly. In any case, the failed construction parameters
have to be excluded from the classification and EXAP reports.
5 Classification report
The classification report shall be determined from the results of the extended application report and
presented in accordance with EN 13501-2.
Annex A
(normative)
Construction parameter variations
Table A.1 is designed to be used in the field of fire resistance testing of hinged and pivoted metal framed
glazed doorsets and openable windows.
The table shall only be used to evaluate a field of extended application when at least one fire resistance
test to EN 1634-1 can generate a fire resistance classification according to EN 13501-2. Only results from
fire resistance tests in accordance with European Standards can be used as basis for extended application.
The first two columns identify possible variations to the construction details of the specimen tested. In
the column “Variations”, it could be referenced, in brackets () and in italics, the number of the rule as
previously indicated in EN 15269-5:2014+A1:2016. For example, Table A.1 references (C.1.49) in rule
C.14.1: this means that that rule C.14.1 was referenced as rule C.1.49 in the old version of the standard.
For some construction parameters, it is necessary to evaluate whether the specimen displayed a high,
medium or low level of distortion during the fire resistance test. Where this is the case, the following
levels shall be used to establish high, medium and low distortion doorsets as measured using the
maximum relative movement at any position between the edge of the door leaf and door frame or
between the meeting edges of door leaves or the relative movement of the framing members for panelled
systems. The measurements shall be taken from the start of the test at any time during the complete
required classification period. The deflections shall be measured at the positions given in EN 1634-1:
— Low: < 40 % of effective rebate depth;
— Medium: ≥ 40 % and ≤ 85 % of effective rebate depth;
— High: > 85 % of effective rebate depth.
Evaluations of the influence of a construction parameter variation on performance characteristics
(E/EW/EI) lead to the judgement of the possibility of the extension of the field of application, the results
of which are given in column (3). In certain cases in column (3), it is a requirement to achieve Category B;
the requirements for this are given in EN 1634-1.
Where additional fire resistance tests are deemed to be necessary, the test scenario approved for
incorporation of the construction parameter variation is defined in column (4). Where it is possible to
use information from fire resistance tests performed on one configuration for evidence on a different
configuration, this allowance has been made in order to reduce the overall number of fire resistance tests
required for extended application evaluation, e.g. from single action doorsets to double action doorsets.
Where an additional test is required in column (4), the test is a full scale test on the most onerous side
(e.g. opening inwards/outwards and/or with glazing beads on fire side) unless it is otherwise specified.
The following test scenarios are defined and referred to in column (4):
Test scenario A: Additional test single or double leaf doorset.
Test scenario B: Additional test single leaf doorset.
Test scenario C: Additional test double leaf doorset.
Test scenario D: Additional test single leaf or double leaf doorset for single leaf doorsets, double
leaf doorsets for double leaf doorset.
Test scenario E: Additional test single leaf doorset for single leaf doorsets, double leaf doorset for
double leaf doorsets.
Test scenario F: Additional test single or double leaf doorset or small scale test according to
EN 1634-2.
Test scenario G: Additional test single or double leaf doorset or small scale test according to
EN 1634-2 opening inwards or opening outwards, not size-dependent.
Test scenario H: Additional test single or double leaf doorset opening inwards or opening
outwards, not size-dependent
In order to maximize the possible field of extended application from a minimum number of tests the
parameter changes have been spread over a series of test specimens. The recommended tests for each
parameter depend on the classification required and the preferred direction of testing indicated in
column (4).
Where more than a single parameter variation is required, the influence on other variations shall also be
taken into account.
Where an additional test is required in column 4 of the following tables, the fire resistance test shall be a
full-scale test according to EN 1634-1 at least with the size of the initial test described in 4.1.1 or the
details changed are limited to the tested size unless it is otherwise specified. Where column 4 specifies
that the additional evidence required is “not size-dependent”, the specimen may be tested at any size as
long as the test is in accordance with EN 1634-1.
Interpolations between minimum and maximum size tested of any measure is possible if not otherwise
specified in Table A.1. All the rules in Table A.1 with exception are applicable to doorsets and openable
windows. However, in the text only the word “doorset” is used. The word “doorset” can be replaced by
“openable windows” in every rule.
The rules in Table A.1 influencing the glass dimensions shall respect the rules given in Table A.1, part F.

A.2 Size variations
If there is any variation in the width and height of the door leaf (leaves), this should be reflected in the relative size variation of the door frame without
modifying the original gaps. If there is any variation in the thickness of the door leaf (leaves), this should be reflected in the relative variation of the
rebate width of the frame.
