CLASS A1    


Fire Classification (A1) in construction and insulation materials refers to the highest level of fire resistance in the Euroclass system (EN 13501-1). Materials classified as A1 are non-combustible and do not contribute to a fire at any stage, making them the safest option to choose.

The Euroclass system (EN 13501-1) is the European standard created for testing and classifying building materials based on their reaction to fire. It helps to clearly distinguish non-combustible products from combustible ones.


WHAT DOES A1 MEAN?


Materials classified as A1 are non-combustible, meaning they:

  • Do not ignite or contribute to a fire at any stage.
  • Do not produce smoke or flaming droplets, which are major hazards in fires.
  • Are the safest option for fire prevention in construction.


 EXAMPLES OF A1 MATERIALS

Many mineral-based and inorganic materials achieve an A1 rating, such as:

  • Stone wool insulation 
  • Calcium silicate board
  • Glass wool insulation
  • Concrete
  • Brick
  • Ceramic tiles


WHERE IS A1 USED?


Because of their non-combustible nature, A1-rated materials are often used in:

  • Fireplaces
  • External and internal walls
  • Shaftwall
  • Internal partitions 
  • Protected zones
  • Roof insulation
  • Structural components of buildings
  • Fire barriers and fireproof cladding


It is important to regularly check the current regulations and contact the manufacturers of  A1 materials for the most up-to-date information. a1firerated.co.uk is not responsible for any inaccuracies or outdated information provided here.
