Passive fire protection is a very vital
component of fire protection that must be planned for from the very initial
design stages of any building. Additionally, passive fire protection is a key
part of building fire safety and must be subject to the same precise
installation, inspection, and sign-off as active fire protection. Also, Passive
fire protection systems should be properly specified, installed and maintained.
Passive Fire Protection India has
two key components: 1) Fire resistance and 2) Reaction to fire. The Fire
resistance focused on using a fire-separating element to limit the spread of
fire through the element or to prevent building collapse of load-bearing
elements. On the other hand, Reaction to fire is restricting flammability
(surface burning behavior of a component or material and how it promotes rapid
flame spread, smoke production, and hot gases).
