Fireproof board for tunnels
隧道防火保护板
GB 28376-2012 is a current mandatory Chinese national standard for Fireproof board for tunnels. It appears in the Construction compliance cluster with a product safety focus and has an implementation date of Sep 1, 2012.
Applicability depends on product scope, certification route, competent authority notices and transition rules. Requst for the translation or verify source before using this record in a compliance decision.
Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard applies to fireproof boards for tunnels used on the concrete structure surfaces of highway and urban traffic tunnels. It is mandatory for manufacturers producing fireproofing materials for these specific infrastructure projects. Railway tunnels may refer to this standard, though it is primarily designed for road and city transit applications.
Technical requirements
GB 28376-2012 specifies the technical requirements for single-composition and multi-composition tunnel fireproof boards. The standard categorizes these boards based on their heating curves, including BZ, HC, and RABT types, ensuring they meet strict structural and safety benchmarks. The standard outlines critical physical and chemical parameters, including dry-state bending strength, moisture deformation rate, and anti-halogen properties. Manufacturers must ensure that the boards exhibit no cracking, delamination, or shedding after exposure to water, acid, alkali, and freeze-thaw cycles. Furthermore, the standard mandates specific combustion performance metrics, such as the fire growth rate index (FIGRA) and total heat release, to minimize fire hazards. It also references GB/T 20285 for smoke toxicity, requiring boards to meet a minimum safety grade to protect tunnel occupants.
Testing methods
Testing procedures involve rigorous physical and chemical evaluations. Bending strength is tested in both dry and water-saturated states, while moisture deformation is measured after specific immersion and drying cycles. Fire resistance tests are conducted using standard, HC, and RABT heating curves on C30 concrete substrates. Combustion performance is evaluated according to GB/T 20284 and GB/T 8626.
FAQs
What products are regulated under GB 28376-2012?
It regulates fireproof boards installed on the concrete surfaces of highway and urban traffic tunnels.
Are there any updates from the previous version of GB 28376-2012?
