Frequently Asked Questions
Below, you can find information about basic firestopping terms and answers to the most frequently asked questions.
General Questions
Frequently asked questionsPassive fire protection is a form of fire safety provision that remains dormant or inert during normal conditions but becomes active in a fire situation. It is an integral component of structural fire protection in a building and is designed to contain fires or slow their spread.
The purpose of passive fire protection is to contain the spread of fire for sufficient time to permit:
- The safe evacuation of all occupants of the premises
- The arrival of the fire brigade/services.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 states that the employer, landlord, owner, occupier or anyone else in control of the premises such as a Facilities Manager is responsible for the fire safety of the building, including its passive fire protection.
If a contractor or installer is called in to carry out works, it is important to establish at the outset who is responsible for fire stopping.
E – Integrity, refers to the ability of a fire protection system, such as walls, floors, or doors, to maintain its structural integrity and prevent the passage of flames and hot gases during a fire. This means that the fire-resistant barrier remains intact and effectively blocks the spread of fire from one area to another. Maintaining integrity is essential for containing the fire and providing occupants with time to evacuate safely. Fire-resistant materials like gypsum board, concrete, or intumescent coatings are commonly used to enhance the integrity of building elements.
I - Insulation, in the context of passive fire protection relates to the ability of a material or assembly to limit the transfer of heat during a fire. It involves reducing the transmission of heat through walls, floors, or ceilings to prevent the fire from spreading to adjacent areas or causing structural collapse. Effective insulation helps to maintain the integrity of fire barriers by preventing excessive heat transfer that could compromise their structural stability. Materials such as mineral wool, fire-resistant foams, and specialized barriers are used to provide insulation in passive fire protection systems.
The letters are followed by a number, which is how long in minutes the integrity and insulation were maintained. For instance, the classification E 60 is integrity for one hour, whilst EI 120 is both integrity and insulation for two hours.
The MottoFire® fire stopping range have ETA certifications and the EU-CoC or as known as CE mark.
