Building Fire Integrity (Passive Fire)

Dedicated to Safer Buildings

Building fire integrity is a critical component of any building’s fire safety system. It involves ensuring that fire-resistant elements within your building, such as walls, floors, materials and penetrations are fully intact and functional and providing the necessary protection in the event of a fire. If fire barriers are compromised or are incorrectly installed they could fail when needed most, potentially causing severe damage to the building and putting lives at risk.

The National Construction Code (NCC) and Fire Integrity

Under the National Construction Code (NCC) Section C, building fire integrity plays a crucial role in the overall fire safety strategy. The code outlines installation requirements for fire-resistant materials/products and systems to ensure that a building’s passive fire safety provisions meet stringent tested systems/standards. Ensuring that these systems are correctly installed, maintained, and periodically inspected is essential to remain compliant and keep your property safe.
