DIN 4102-1 Fire behavior of building materials and elements Section 1: Classification of building materials Requirements and tests
Under certain conditions, when a building material is exposed to fire, its behavior against fire by breaking down determines the reaction of that material to fire at the same time. The fireproof class is determined according to the reaction of the building material to fire.
This standard defines fire behavior classes for building materials and specifies requirements and test methods for each class

DIN 4102-1: Class A
A1: Materials can be classified as A1 materials, if any:
- Passes specified test according to standard corresponding parts
- Meets requirements for A2 class materials
A2: Materials can be classified as A2 class if:
- Passes specified test according to standard corresponding parts
- The test passes the specified DIN 4102-16
DIN 4102-1: Class B
B1: All materials except flooring can be classified as B1 materials.
- Based on the tests specified in DIN 4102-16, use the 'Brandschacht' apparatus specified in DIN 4102-15.
- Meets the requirements for B2 class materials.
B2: Materials can be classified as B2 materials.
- Passes specified test according to standard corresponding parts
- When the flooring materials meet the requirements of class Tb, at least as in DIN 66081, the material class can be allocated to the B2.
B3: Flammable materials which cannot be classified as B1 or B2 materials shall be classified as B3 materials.
