Full title and description

Fire tests for building elements and components — Fire testing of service installations — Part 1: Penetration seals. Specifies test conditions, test methods and acceptance criteria for evaluating penetration sealing systems used where services pass through fire-separating elements.

Abstract

ISO 10295-1:2007 defines the heating conditions, method of test and criteria to evaluate a penetration sealing system’s ability to maintain the integrity and insulation of a fire-separating element at the penetration location; it assesses the effect of penetrations on the separating element, the performance of the penetration seal and the insulation performance of penetrating services, and notes (but does not quantify) smoke/hot-gas leakage or fumes. The standard does not address load‑bearing capacity effects or stresses from service movement.

Scope

Provides a laboratory fire test method and acceptance criteria for penetration sealing systems installed where one or more services penetrate fire separating elements (walls, floors, ceilings). The scope covers assessment of integrity and insulation performance of the separating element and of the penetration seal, and the insulation performance of penetrating services; it explicitly excludes providing quantitative leakage rates, assessing load‑bearing effects or the seal’s resistance to mechanical stresses from service movement.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of test furnace heating conditions and specimen conditioning for penetration-seal tests.
• Criteria and procedures for measuring integrity and insulation performance of separating elements and penetration seals.
• Assessment of the insulation performance of penetrating services and identification of service integrity failure where applicable.
• Explicit exclusions and limitations: no quantitative smoke/leakage rates, no evaluation of load‑bearing capacity, and no mechanical movement‑stress testing.
• Field-of-application rules and requirements for representative supporting constructions (to simulate real wall/floor interaction).

Typical use and users

Used by fire-testing laboratories, manufacturers of firestopping and penetration-sealing products, building engineers and designers, certification bodies and code authorities to establish and verify the fire‑resistance performance of penetration seals and to support product approvals and specification of fire‑stopping solutions.

Related standards

Closely related to other parts and regional standards on penetration seals and service-installation fire tests, notably ISO 10295-2 (Part 2: related joint/seal tests, 2009) and the European series EN 1366 (especially EN 1366-3: penetration seals). Users commonly consult these documents together when specifying or testing penetration sealing systems.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10295-1:2007 is an international test method that specifies how to fire‑test penetration sealing systems where services pass through fire‑separating elements, and sets criteria for evaluating integrity and insulation performance.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers furnace heating conditions, specimen preparation, test procedures and pass/fail criteria to judge whether a penetration seal maintains integrity and thermal insulation of the separating element and the insulation of penetrating services; it does not quantify smoke leakage or address load‑bearing effects or movement stresses.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Fire-testing laboratories, product manufacturers (firestopping/penetration seal systems), building and fire engineers, certification and approvals bodies, and regulatory authorities.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The document was published in July 2007 (Edition 1). As of ISO lifecycle records the standard remained published but was listed with a review status "to be revised" on 20 January 2023; users should check with their national standards body for any national adoptions, amendments or more recent replacements before relying on the standard for compliance.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — ISO 10295 is a multi‑part series addressing fire testing of service installations; Part 1 covers penetration seals and other parts (for example Part 2) cover related joint and seal test methods. It is also used alongside regional standards such as EN 1366-3 for penetration-seal testing.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Penetration seals; fire tests; fire resistance; service installations; fire stopping; integrity; insulation; test method.
