FSi Promat secures CCPI verification
FSi Promat, a manufacturer in passive fire protection, has obtained Code for Construction Product Information (CCPI) verification for its Silverliner open state cavity barriers.
This achievement underscores the company’s compliance with the code’s rigorous standards for providing clear, accurate, and accessible product information, as reported by FSi Promat.
The CCPI, introduced by the Construction Product Association, follows recommendations from the Hackitt Review to improve safety and reliability within the construction sector.
The certification assures stakeholders that FSi Promat’s information is transparent and that its representatives are adequately trained and knowledgeable about their systems.
The CCPI and its role in construction safety
The CCPI was created to elevate standards in the construction industry.
Its primary goal is to ensure that product information is accurate and accessible while supporting competency across the market.
FSi Promat has ensured that its Silverliner open state cavity barriers meet these requirements.
These barriers, which allow airflow for ventilation while preventing the spread of fire during an emergency, have passed third-party testing and are supported by trained advisors.
The CCPI certification further demonstrates FSi Promat’s commitment to maintaining robust safety standards, helping to protect certified products and foster greater trust in the construction industry.
The design and safety features of Silverliner cavity barriers
FSi Promat’s Silverliner open state cavity barriers are designed for use in external façade systems.
Their primary function is to maintain compartmentation within buildings, restricting the spread of fire while allowing airflow under normal conditions.
In the event of a fire, the intumescent edge of the Silverliner barriers expands to close the air gap, limiting the spread of fire and heat.
This is critical to providing sufficient time for building occupants to reach safety.
The cavity barriers are a key part of the company’s product line and demonstrate FSi Promat’s continued focus on delivering reliable, life-saving fire protection solutions.
FSi Promat’s dedication to best practices and industry standards
Liam Blears, Head of Facades at FSi Promat, emphasised the importance of safety compliance: “Life critical safety products by their very nature must meet the highest performance standards.
“FSi Promat is dedicated to meeting and exceeding the requirements of fire and safety regulations, and very much welcomes the introduction of the CCPI to help to enforce standards and build trust.”
FSi Promat’s products undergo rigorous third-party testing and are backed by technical advisors trained to ensure best practices.
Additionally, many of the company’s key team members are working towards, or have achieved, IFE Level 3 qualifications in fire safety.
This combination of training, certification, and rigorous testing is part of FSi Promat’s broader effort to uphold the highest standards in the construction industry.
FSi Promat achieves CCPI verification for Silverliner cavity barriers: Summary
FSi Promat has successfully obtained CCPI verification for its Silverliner open state cavity barriers, ensuring compliance with rigorous standards in the construction industry.
The CCPI, introduced by the Construction Product Association, seeks to improve safety and transparency in the construction sector, in line with recommendations from the Hackitt Review.
FSi Promat’s products meet the highest fire protection standards, backed by thorough third-party testing and supported by trained technical advisors.
This latest verification supports the company’s ongoing commitment to delivering reliable, compliant fire protection solutions for the construction industry.
