Fire tests on building materials and structures - Methods for determination of the contribution of components to the fire resistance of a structureThis Part of BS 476 describes procedures for determining the contribution made by components to the total fire resistance of a structure or other elements used in conjunction with them when subjected to the relevant heating and pressure conditions specified in BS 476 20. This Part provides the requirements for specimen selection and or its design and construction, the edge conditions, the equipment including any special apparatus or instrumentation,
