(1) BS EN 1993-1-2:2005 applies to the design of buildings and civil engineering works in steel. It complies with the
principles and requirements for the safety and serviceability of structures, the basis of their design and
verification that are given in EN 1990 -Basis of structural design
(2) BS EN 1993-1-2:2005 is only concerned with requirements for resistance, serviceability, durability and fire
resistance of steel structures. Other requirements, e.g concerning thermal or sound insulation, are not
considered.
(3) BS EN 1993-1-2:2005 is intended to be used in conjunction with:
EN 1990- Basis of structural design
EN 1991 Actions on structures
hEN's for construction products relevant for steel structures
EN 1090- Execution of steel structures
EN 1998-Design of structures for earthquake resistance, where steel structures are built in seismic
regions
(4) BS EN 1993-1-2:2005 is subdivided in six parts:
EN 1993-1 Design of Steel Structures : Generic rules.
EN 1993-2 Design of Steel Structures : Steel bridges.
EN 1993-3 Design of Steel Structures : Towers, masts and chimneys.
EN 1993-4 Design of Steel Structures : Silos, tanks and pipelines.
EN 1993-5 Design of Steel Structures : Piling.
EN 1993-6 Design of Steel Structures : Crane supporting structures.
(1) BS EN 1993-1-2:2005 deals with the design of steel structures for the accidental situation of fire exposure and is
intended to be used in conjunction with EN 1993-1-1 and EN 1991-1-2. EN 1993-1-2 only identifies
differences from, or supplements to, normal temperature design.
(2) BS EN 1993-1-2:2005 deals only with passive methods of fire protection.
(3) BS EN 1993-1-2:2005 applies to steel structures that are required to fulfil this load bearing function if exposed to
fire, in terms of avoiding premature collapse of the structure.
NOTE: This part does not include rules for separating elements.
(4) BS EN 1993-1-2:2005 gives principles and application rules for designing structures for specified requirements
in respect of the load bearing function and the levels of performance.
(5) BS EN 1993-1-2:2005 applies to structures, or parts of structures, that are within the scope of EN 1993-1 and are
designed accordingly.
(6) The methods given are applicable to structural steel grades S235, S275, S355, S420 and S460 of
EN 10025 and all grades of EN 10210 and EN 10219.
(7) The methods given are also applicable to cold-formed steel members and sheeting within the scope of
EN1993-1-3.
(8) The methods given are applicable to any steel grade for which material properties at elevated
temperatures are available, based on harmonized European standards.
(9) The methods given are also applicable stainless steel members and sheeting within the scope of EN
1993-1-4.
NOTE: For the fire resistance of composite steel and concrete structures, see EN 1994-1-2.
