Performance:

Fire:

• IG lintels have been subjected to a fire test (Report No. 389158 Issue 3) in accordance with BS EN 1363-1 at Exova Warrington Fire and achieved a two hour fire performance.

Corrosion:

• IG’s standard range of lintels are manufactured from high quality grade pre-galvanized mild steel to BS EN 10346 DX51D with a zinc coating of 600 g/m² (including both sides) conforming to BS EN 845-2. 
• The use of austenitic stainless steel is ideal when the life expectancy and maintenance programme of a building are key considerations. 
• Material / coating specification in buildings exceeding three storeys in a non-aggressive environment should be limited to austenitic stainless steel (chrome nickel alloys). 
• Material / coating specification for buildings in an aggressive environment (e.g. coastal sites) should be limited to austenitic stainless steel (molybdenum chrome nickel alloys). 

Structural:

• The IG lintel range has safe working loads as detailed in each applicable loading table in the IG Lintels Product Guide brochure.
• The structural performance figures within each table have been ascertained by testing in accordance with the requirements of standards BS EN 5977-2, BS EN 846-9 and BS EN 845-2.

Certification:

• BBA Agrement certificate 05/4192 & 15/5250 including regular assessment of production.
• UKCA Assessment of performance, system 3.
• CE Assessment of performance, system 3.
• EN 1090-2 Execution Class 2, declaration method 1,2,3a & 3b, Certificate 14/F106 & 14/F107.
