Part B Legislation
Fire safety legislation can be confusing but its essential that
its adhered to as not following this legislation can cost lives.
The Building Regulations Part B is split into two different
volumes which focus on fire safety: Volume 1 covers
dwelling houses and Volume 2 covers all other buildings.
Part B assesses the reaction to fire and fire resistance.
Elements such as heat emission, ignitability, toxic gas and
smoke emission are caused by the reaction to fire. Fire
resistance and firestopping deal with the ability of a material
to withstand fire exposure. SIG Technical Insulation specialise
in supplying fire resistance and firestopping products which
comply with Part B after the following assessments:
Stability load-bearing capability and structural collapse
Integrity flame puncture
Fire insulation heat transfer
Fire resistance covers a number of categories including protection
of building structure; service protection; penetration seals
and large barriers; and linear fire-stops and cavity barriers.
Fire resistance and firestopping which adheres to
Part B will ultimately save lives as it achieves:
Safe evacuation of the building
Time for the emergency services to fight fires safely and
efficiently
Reduced losses to property, rebuilding costs and business
down-time
Fire containment in cells or compartments to slow the
spread of fire
All the products which SIG Technical Insulation supplies comply
with Part B legislation and our team are experts in this.

Third Party Certification
Third Party Certification is a voluntary certification
scheme which includes verification of the test evidence
and type of application or use of the product.
The Certification also includes a regular audit of the factory QA
system to check the products supplied to the contractor are
the same design or formulation as the original test samples.
There are multiple benefits to having Third
Party Certification including:
Shows customers your company is regularly assessed by an
impartial third party
Demonstrates you are meeting minimum quality and
environmental requirements
Makes it easier for you to gain impartial feedback and
monitor your business
Helps you to comply with legal obligations
Depending on the level of claims being made, CE Marking is enabled
via a Third Party Certification body acting as a Notified Body to
agreed European procedures. It should be noted that CE Marking is
not a quality mark but uses harmonised European classification
and fire testing procedures. Voluntary third party product
certification schemes are product quality schemes and invariably
include more checking procedures than required for CE Marking.
A Third Party Association for installers is a process whereby the
contracting company employs appropriately trained staff to
design and install the required passive fire protection system.
Their work is independently audited by site inspections from
the third party organisation and a full record system is required
as part of the scheme. The use of such accredited schemes is
recognised in the Building Regulations, Approved Document
B (Use of Guidance; Independent certification schemes).
In the section detailing Use of Guidance; Materials and
Workmanship Independent certification schemes:
The text suggests that savings are available to reduce the
costs of Building Control/Approved Inspectors where third
party certificated products and installers are being used on
site. This publication is intended to enhance that process.
It should be noted that all ASFP Contractor members
are required to be subject to Third Party Certification
as a condition of membership of ASFP.

Firestopping Introduction
The aim of fire stopping is to control the spread of
fire with fire resisting compartments which subdivide
a building, allowing the fire to be contained.
However, fire can spread through concealed cavities between
firestopping floors and doors, such as through the holes
made in floors and walls, either for services or by design.
Firestopping ensures the materials used to connect
floors and doors are fire resistant and maintain the fire
rating of the material they are passing through.
Different types of doors and floors require specific
firestopping systems and each system needs to be
understood so its suitable for its application.
Our experts will take the confusion out of fire stopping
and give you the peace of mind that every aspect
of your structure is protected from fire.

Insulated Fire Sleeves
For insulated pipes, it is necessary to remove the insulation at

point of penetration to enable standard pipe collars to close
plastic pipes. This removal of insulation results in condensation
on cold pipes and loss of thermal performance on hot pipes.
Insulated Fire Sleeves combats this problem by providing both fire
stopping and thermal insulation.
General benefits:
Quick, simple and accurate installation
Maintains pipe insulation at penetration points
Supplied with integral vapour barrier
No mastic or ancillaries required
Excellent thermal and acoustic insulation
Non-combustible
Dimensions
Insulated Fire Sleeves are supplied 300mm long. They are
manufactured to fit a range of standard pipe sizes, from 17mm to
169mm O.D. and standard thicknesses of 25mm to 100mm.
For un-insulated pipes, a thickness of 25mm is required to
maintain the fire rating. Insulated Fire Sleeves should be installed
to the same thickness as the pipe insulation (min 25mm thick).
Service Temperatures
Insulated Fire Sleeves are used to fire stop pipe work operating at
temperatures between 0C and 180C. At low temperatures, care
should be taken to maintain the vapour barrier.

Structural Steel
Building regulations stipulate the period of fire resistance required for any element of building structure. Beams and columns require at
least the same standard of fire protection as that required by any element they support.
The temperature rise of structural steelwork under fire test conditions provides a method of computing fire protection thicknesses based
on accepted empirical formulae. The rate of increase in temperature of a steel cross section is determined by the ratio of the heated
surface area (A) to the volume (V).
This ratio (A/V) has units of m-1 and is known as the section factor.
The section factor is a measure of the rate at which a steel element will increase in temperature. The higher the value of the section
factor, the faster the element will heat up and therefore the thicker fire protection required to satisfy a stipulated fire protection period.

Cavity Barriers in Rainscreen Facades

AIM Ventilated Rainscreen Barrier Plus (VRB Plus)
Product Description
The AIM VRB Plus offers an effective fire barrier for ventilated cavities over 60mm up to 300mm in its standard form. The AIM VRB offers
a superior fire rating and allows a continuous ventilation space of up to 44mm. This provides excellent ventilation behind the cladding
whilst leaving sufficient room for easy installation of the cladding panels.
Application
Polythene enclosed to give weather resistance in a semi exposed application
Specification
Thickness 75mm
Width Total cavity size less 44mm
Length 1000mm
Max Air Gap 44mm
Tested and assessed by Chiltern International Fire
AIM Ventilated Rainscreen Fire Barrier (Lite) VRB Lite

Product Description
The AIM VRB Lite, offers an effective fire barrier for ventilated cavities of up to 300mm. VRB Lite is simple and cost effective to install,
allowing a continuous ventilation space of up to 25mm. VRB Lite has been tested to the general principles of the more stringent BS EN
1363-1 standard.

Tested and assessed by Chiltern International Fire
Horizontal Cavity Barrier

Lamatherm CWRSH incorporates a continuous bonded intumescent strip to the leading edge and encapsulated in a weather resistant
polymer film. In the event of exposure to fire, this expands and fully seals the designed ventilation gap formed at the time of installation
between barrier and the rear of the cladding.
Vertical Cavity Barrier

For vertical barriers within rainscreen systems, it is generally acceptable to fully fill the void. Our Lamatherm CWRSV product is
specifically intended for use in this manner. As a full fill barrier system, the integral intumescent strip is not required. The front edge is
finished as standard in a plain aluminium foil.
Alternatively, the product is optionally available with a factory applied DPC pre-bonded to this surface.

Cladding and
Curtain Walling
Masonry Wall
Masonry walls within the external fabric of a building are typically formed by an inner and outer masonry leaf which forms a void for
installation of a thermal insulation layer. Such situations will typically form a hidden cavity within the fabric of a building and potentially
form a ready route for spread of flame and smoke within this hidden void. In these instances it is necessary to install cavity barriers to
limit the spread of flame within this hidden void. It is imperative the selection of products are suited to the intended application and
proven to perform having undergone independent testing in line with current standards.
