The new FPA Design Guide for the Fire Protection of Buildings has been designed as a series of publications developed from predecessor documents and also covering new ground. The FPA Design Guide informs architects and designers about the business risk management issues which relate to the fire protection of buildings. These issues supplement in very important ways the life safety requirements contained in the principal legislative controls. It will give designers a more complete view about designing fire-safe buildings.
The new core document, Protection of Openings and Service Penetrations from Fire, provides stand-alone guidance for designers to help them with designing passive fire protection of openings and service penetrations. Click here to purchase the document online or click here to download the document free of charge (FPA silver and gold-level members only).
A second core document on compartmentation is now in preparation and there will shortly be a set of related data sheets available on this website. For further information about the FPA Design Guide and other documents in the series which are currently available, please click here.
