With a focus on quality and compliance, Ashgrove Fire Proofing Limited offers an extensive range of fire stopping products that adhere to the strictest European standards, ensuring that structures remain safe and secure in the event of a fire.
Importance of Fire Stopping and European Standards
Fire stopping is a crucial aspect of passive fire protection, aimed at containing the spread of fire and smoke through openings created by penetrations or gaps in fire-resistant walls, floors, and ceilings. Effective fire stopping maintains the integrity of these structures, thereby protecting lives and property.
In Europe, fire stopping solutions must comply with stringent standards set by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). Key standards include:
- EN 1366-3: Fire resistance tests for service installations, focusing on penetration seals.
- EN 1366-4: Fire resistance tests for linear joint seals.
- EN 13501-2: Classification of construction products and building elements based on their fire resistance.
Ashgrove Fire Proofing Limited ensures that all its products meet these rigorous standards, providing clients with reliable and effective fire protection solutions.
