For Determining the Performance of Roofs when Exposed to External Fire Test 3, incorporating incendiary devices, wind and supplementary radiant heat in accordance with DIN CEN/TS 1187 The DIN CEN/TS 1187 standard specifies four test methods for determining the fire behavior of roofs when exposed to external fire. The TDP T3 allows for a test in accordance with test method 3. Test method 3 assesses: The fire spread on the roof surfaceThe fire spread within the roof structure The penetration of the roof by fire, and The occurrence/dropping/falling of burning or molten material Testing of Multi-Layer Roof Structures under Realistic Environmental Conditions From a fire protection perspective, roofs should be considered to be a system. In certain countries, along with classification of the fire behavior of the individual components used, the fire behavior of the entire roof structure must therefore also be assessed.* The TDP T3 measures specimens that are representative of the roof assembly in terms of the type and number of roof layers, including existing thermal insulation layers, vapor barriers, etc. Specimens with a minimum width of 1.2 m and minimum length of 3 m are tested.
