This Part of BS476 describes procedures for determining the fire resistance of non-loadbearing elements of building construction when subjected to the heating and pressure conditions specified in BS476‑20. This Part is applicable to vertical partitions, to fully insulated, partially insulated and uninsulated vertical doorsets and shutter assemblies (except fire dampers incorporated in ducts), to ceiling membranes, and to glazed elements.
The methods described are appropriate to normal combinations of these elements.
