Standards and accreditation

UKAS 23841 — limited fire classification
Issue 008 dated 23 April 2026 states ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and BS EN 13501-1:2018/-5:2016 classifications. The appendix requires recognised DIAP/EXAP and excludes expert judgements beyond those standards. The exact test/classification method remains product-specific.

What to confirm with the facility

  • Recognised DIAP/EXAP conditions limit classifications and exclude broader expert judgements. The roof-exposure row lists CEN/TS 1187:2012 without selecting a test number here; universal roof ratings or furnace/specimen capacities are not inferred.
  • Confirm the exact test-number/edition, product and specimen construction, field of application, accredited reporting, availability and quotation.

    United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) · Reviewed

    Current original issue 008 dated 23 April 2026 is Leighton Buzzard address-only. Reaction-to-fire, external roof exposure and classification methods/conditions are explicit; CEN/TS1187 is not assigned a specific test-number here. The earlier government appointment PDF issue004 dated January2024 remains separate historical capture.
