Additional information
<p>This European standard EN 1991-1-2:2024 does not yet have the status of a Belgian standard. In Belgium, it is available in 3 official versions (German, English, French) until the Dutch version is also published. This document can only be applied from the moment its corresponding Belgian national annex (ANB) is published. This document does not replace the existing standard NBN EN 1991-1-2:2003. The sole purpose of publishing this document at this stage is to enable Eurocode users to familiarize themselves with future normative texts while awaiting the entry into force of the new generation of Eurocodes and their respective ANBs.</p>

Summary

1.1 Scope of EN 1991 1 2
(1) The methods given in this Eurocode are applicable to buildings and civil engineering works, with a fire load related to the building and its occupancy.
(2) EN 1991 1 2 deals with thermal and mechanical actions on structures exposed to fire. It is intended to be used in conjunction with the fire design Parts of EN 1992 to EN 1996 and EN 1999 which give rules for designing structures for fire resistance.
(3) EN 1991 1 2 contains thermal actions either nominal or physically based. More data and models for physically based thermal actions are given in annexes.
(4) EN 1991 1 2 does not cover the assessment of the damage of a structure after a fire.
(5) EN 1991 1 2 does not cover supplementary requirements concerning, for example:
- the possible installation and maintenance of sprinkler systems
- conditions on occupancy of building or fire compartment
- the use of approved insulation and coating materials, including their maintenance.
1.2 Assumptions
(1) In addition to the general assumptions of EN 1990 the following assumptions apply:
- any active and passive fire protection systems taken into account in the design will be adequately maintained
- the choice of the relevant design fire scenario is made by appropriate qualified and experienced personnel, or is given by the relevant national regulation.
