Legal requirements of Fire Stopping services

The Building Regulations Act, 2010, Fire Safety, Volume 1: Dwellings,  2019 edition incorporating 2020 and 2022 amendments state that a building, while inhibiting the spread of fire via internal linings, should also ensure:​

  1. The premature collapse of the building is avoided
  2. Sufficient fire separation is provided within buildings and between adjoining buildings
  3. Automatic fire suppression is provided where necessary
  4. The unseen spread of fire and smoke in cavities is restricted 

​ In addition to the above stipulations, this document, along with the other amendments and volumes, demonstrate how passive fire-stopping measures must be installed. Our team of experts can guide you through this process to ensure the highest level of coverage is achieved
