Passive fire protection is a term used to describe the parts of a building or structure that provides a barrier

to fire, containing and slowing the rate at which it spreads. This is achieved by creating fire-resistant walls,

floors and doors. It also protects load bearing columns and other critical structures to prevent the building

collapsing during fires. However, the building regulations stipulates the rules and the degree of fire

resistance of the elements of structure. British standard 476 only dictates the appropriate fire tests for

these elements of structure/materials and grades the level of fire resistance. The following is a list of the

current standards.

BS476 Part 4 Non-combustibility test for materials

BS476 Part 6 Method of test for fire propagation for products

BS476 Part 7 The classification of the surface spread of flame of products

BS476 Part 20 Methods for determination of the fire resistance of elements of construction (general principles)

BS 476 Part 22 Methods for determination of the fire resistance of non-load bearing elements of construction

BS 476 Part 24 Method for determination of the fire resistance of ventilation ducts

Hofmann Calcium Silicate Board & Applications- Fire Resistance class 1 of CNS 6532, Non-combustible of

BS 476: Part 4, Part 6, Part7, Part 20 & Part 22;- Sound insulation: Based on the combination of boards & insulation,

noise can be reduced to 50dB;- Water Absorption: Max. linear expansion at 0.15%;- Fungus Resistance: The product meets the fungus test;- Bending strength: 120 kg force

Exterior Cladding for BS476 Part22: 1987.(FRR -/120/120) Integrity & Insulation- TAIKALITE BS board is a compartment wall having the performance of 2 hours fire resistance for BS476 Part22 for exterior cladding. The thickness of the compartment wall is only 50mm;- Due to the crystal structure ,XONOLITE, of calcium silicate, there is no need for any mineral wool inside the system for heat insulation. So, this compartment wall system is applied for the fire protection of exterior cladding or stairway with waterproof coating;- The characteristic of light weight density at 600kg/m3 which is 40% lighter than other boards. Less labor is required and shorten the term of works.
