Importance of fire stopping testing and certification

摘要

When it comes to specifying passive fire protection (PFP) products and solutions, it is mandatory to include the fire resistance rating, ie, the period in which these products perform their protective role and can contain a fire. Different fire ratings will be required, depending on local fire regulations, building types, fire strategy, etc. A product will only be awarded a classification, and therefore assigned a fire rating, if it passes rigorous fire testing. Certification process is a procedure performed by a third party, the certification body, to assure that a certified body claims a system, service, product, or a person meets the requirements specified in a standard or reference document.
