EN 16034 is a set of European standards which specify the technical performance characteristics for fire resistant and smoke control products, such as fire doors. Compliance with this standard requires to fulfill the requirements of the Construction Product Regulation [1] for construction products (short CPR).
NFDRS recognizes four types of fire: [4] Ground fires burn in natural litter, duff, roots or sometimes high organic soils. Once started they are very difficult to detect and control.
