EuroWindoor took part in the public consultation on the draft delegated regulation on resistance to fire performance classes under Construction Products Regulation (EU) 2024/3110.
The organisation supports the Commission’s aim of a harmonised EU approach aligned with previous Regulation (EU) No 305/2011. In the last revision of the delegated regulation for defining classes related to resistance to fire performance of construction products a yearlong gap related to fixed windows was closed by adding these to Table 4.1 which originally was for partitions.
However, not all of the classes existing for partitions are relevant to windows. Windows, neither openable nor fixed will be intended to withstand impacts arising from the failure of other components or objects exposed to fire and therefore class EI-M will not be relevant for windows.
EuroWindoor therefore considers EI-M not technically justified for windows and proposes adding a note stating: “Class EI-M is not applicable for fixed windows.”
