FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS
What is passive fire protection and why is it important?
Passive fire protection includes building elements such as fire doors, walls, and sealed penetrations that contain fire and smoke. These systems are essential for limiting fire spread and supporting safe evacuation.
What are common passive fire defects in buildings?
Common defects include damaged fire doors, missing seals, unsealed penetrations, and compromised compartmentation. These issues can reduce the effectiveness of fire protection systems.
How are passive fire systems inspected?
Inspections involve assessing fire doors, walls, and penetrations to ensure they meet compliance requirements. This includes visual checks, measurements, and verification of installation quality.
What happens if passive fire systems fail compliance?
If systems do not meet compliance requirements, they must be rectified. This may involve repairs, upgrades, or replacement of components to restore compliance.
Can passive fire defects lead to fire orders?
Yes. Significant defects can trigger council fire orders requiring remediation within a specified timeframe.
Do you provide both audit and rectification services?
Yes. We provide both inspection and remediation services, ensuring a clear and consistent approach to achieving compliance.
How often should passive fire systems be checked?
Inspection frequency depends on building type and usage, but regular audits are recommended to identify and address issues early.
