1. Introduction

This classification report defines the classification assigned to the element ROCKWOOL® SCB, in
accordance with the procedures given in BS EN 13501-2: 2016.

2. Details of classification product

2.1 General

The element, ROCKWOOL® SCB, is defined as a fire resisting linear joint seal to be used to seal joints,
voids, gaps or other discontinuities within one or between two or more construction elements.

ROCKWOOL® SCB is manufactured from non-combustible stone wool, encapsulated within a resilient
polythene sleeve which eliminates the need for weather protection during installation. The SCB’s are
designed for both vertical and horizontal installations within a range of supporting constructions. The
sleeves are installed under a compression fit of 10mm.

2.2 Product description

The element, ROCKWOOL® SCB, is fully described in the test reports provided in support of
classification detailed in clause 3.1.

4.3 Field of Application – Linear Joint and Gap Seals

This classification is valid for the following end use applications (as defined in EN1366-4: 2021,
referencing the following appropriate clauses of EN1366-4: 2021).

13.1 Orientation

The field of application regarding the orientation of the linear joint is given in Table 2. The possible orientation
of linear joints (A to E) and of the specimens in the test (A to C) is illustrated in Figure 28.

Table 2 – Field of direct application regarding orientation

Table 2 only applies when both the supporting construction and the location of the seal within the linear joint
remain unchanged. See 13.3.
Report No.: 4791060701.1-01 Page 20

13.2 Supporting construction

Results obtained with autoclaved aerated concrete standard supporting constructions apply to aerated
concrete, concrete, blockwork and masonry separating elements of a thickness and density equal to or greater
than tested.

Test results obtained on a specific non-standard supporting construction apply only to that particular
construction.
Report No.: 4791060701.1-01 Page 21

13.3 Seal position

Test results are valid only for the position (see Figure 17) in which the seal was tested, except that where the
linear joint seal was fitted flush with the surface of the supporting construction and is exposed to the fire (see
Figure 17, position 2), the result may also be applied to linear joint seals with positions 3 and 5.
Report No.: 4791060701.1-01 Page 22

13.5 Dimensions
Linear joint seal made of mineral wool (faced)

The results of a seal compressed in the A<>A direction (see Figure 4) cover smaller joint width, provided the
degree of compression (%) exerted on the seal is equal to or greater than that used in the test.

The results of a seal compressed in the B<>B or C<>C directions (see Figure 4) cover smaller joint width and/or
higher compression, provided the compression applied is not sufficient to induce a mechanical failure of the
seal e.g. a de-lamination fracture of the mineral wool or facing.

The depth of a seal may be increased but not decreased.

In non-movement joints the density of the mineral wool may be increased.

If more than one layer of mineral wool strips has been used in the test the number of layers may be reduced
but not increased, provided the degree of compression (%) exerted on the seal is equal to or greater than that
used in the test.
