The Spanish Association of Fire Protection Societies, Tecnifuego, has published the “Basic Technical Guide for the maintenance of passive fire protection systems in fire installations”, developed by Engineering, Installation and Passive Protection Maintenance experts.

The guide aims to give work guidelines to professionals, given the lack of regulation, documentation and regulation of the figure of the installer and maintainer of passive fire protection.

The guide also includes a descriptive part of the structural elements, with characteristics of fire resistance, products and systems of sectorisation against a fire, and the products used to improve safety against the reaction of fire, slowing down the spread of fires. 

Based on this, standard maintenance ranges are established with general guidelines as a complement to what is specified by each manufacturer, and emphasises the need to establish requirements that mark the importance of documenting the maintenance carried out.
