Now, what is Passive Fire Protection?
Passive fire protection refers to the use of construction elements within a building that are designed to delay or hopefully prevent the spread of fire and smoke to different parts of the building.
The main focus of passive fire protection is to minimise the spread of a fire. This is achieved by installing fire resistance rated elements of construction and controlling the flammability of construction materials. These materials are part of the building fabric and do not include building contents. Passive Fire Protection must also comply with associated building act AS1530.4 and AS4072.10 of the New Zealand Building Code.
