Скачать или смотреть Passive Fire Protection for Service Penetrations — Key Questions That Define Compliance

Passive Fire Protection is not just about installing a product — it’s about understanding the data behind the detail.

In this video, we highlight the critical questions that must be answered before approving any passive fire protection solution for mechanical or electrical service penetrations.

Too often, firestopping is treated as a simple product to buy and install. In reality, compliance depends on correctly assessing project-specific parameters and verifying them against the relevant European Technical Assessment (ETA).

Topics covered include:

Required fire resistance rating (EN 13501-2: EI 60, EI 90, etc.)

Type of separating element (wall or floor, rigid or flexible, thickness)

Single vs. mixed penetrations

Pipe, cable, and cable tray types and dimensions

Insulation presence, material type, thickness, and reaction-to-fire class

Mineral wool density requirements

Pipe end configurations (U/U, C/U, U/C, C/C)

All of this information — and more — is defined within the ETA of the selected product or system.
If it’s not covered by the ETA, it cannot be considered compliant.

Remember: failures don’t happen only because of the product itself, but because the selected solution does not match the actual requirements.

👉 Always ask for the ETA.
👉 Always verify your exact detail.
