EN 858-1:2002 (E)

Annex E
(informative)

Relevant extracts from EC Decision 96/603/EC, as amended

The materials, and products made from them, that are listed in Table E.1, shall, on account of their low level of
combustibility and subject to the conditions also set out in this Annex, be classified in Class A.1.

For the purpose of this classification, no reaction to fire testing of those materials and products made from them
shall be required.

Products shall be made only of one or more of the materials in Table E.1, if they are to be considered as Class A1
without testing. Products made by gluing one or more of the materials together are Class A1 without testing
provided that the glue does not exceed 0,1 % (m/m or V/V) (whichever is the more onerous).

Products made by coating one of the materials with an inorganic layer (e.g. coated metal products) may also be
considered as Class A1 without testing.

None of the materials in Table E.1 is allowed to contain more than 1,0 % (m/m of V/V) (whichever is the more
onerous) of homogeneously distributed organic material.
