Testing in "end-use conditions": technical specification writers need to address the issue of the form of accompanying information required where mandates indicate that products are to be tested in "end-use conditions", or as part of elements rather than on their own.
End-use application - Refers to the typical conditions in which a product would be incorporated into a construction works. It thus concerns a real application of a product, in relation to all aspects that influence the behaviour of that product under different fire situations. It covers aspects such as its quantity, its orientation, its position in relation to other adjacent products and its method of fixing.
