What is a Passive Fire Report?

A Passive Fire Report is an essential document that records all passive fire protection elements installed within a building. It ensures that critical fire protection components like fire-rated walls, floors, ceilings, doors, and other barriers are properly installed and maintained, serving as a testament to the building's fire safety readiness.

What’s in a Passive Fire Report?

  • A Passive Fire Report serves as a detailed penetrations register with a test report number included and a sticker at each penetration.
  • A Passive Fire Report serves as a record for the building owner and fire authorities, demonstrating the actions taken in compliance with the building's fire safety orders.
  • The Passive Fire Report may also detail areas where fire protection systems don't meet required standards such as:
    • Fire-rated materials that aren't up to code.
    • Unsealed gaps or penetrations in fire-compartment walls or floors.
    • Issues with fire doors, such as missing self-closing mechanisms or improper clearances.
    • Passive Fire Report outlines the corrective actions taken to bring the building into compliance such as:
      • Replacing non-compliant fire-rated materials.
      • Sealing penetrations with appropriate fire-stopping materials.
      • Repairing or replacing malfunctioning fire doors.
  • The report will include photos with unique reference numbers of the inspected areas to provide visual evidence of the issues identified or treated penetrations

Why is a Passive Fire Report Important for Building Owners?

Passive fire protection is crucial for the safety of occupants and the preservation of property. Here are some key reasons why it is essential.

Compliance with Regulations

Building codes mandate specific fire safety standards. A Passive Fire Reporthelps ensure your building meets these requirements. Non-compliance canlead to hefty fines or even closure of the building.

Minimised Fire Damage

Effective passive fire protection systems can significantly lessen the extent of damage caused by a fire. This translates to lower repair costs and faster business recovery, reducing financial burdens

Protecting Occupants

The primary function of passive fire protection is to safeguard building occupants during a fire. A Passive Fire Report identifies weaknesses that could hinder safe evacuation or amplify the fire spread, so you to take corrective actions and prioritise occupant safety.

Reduced Liability

In case of a fire, a documented Passive Fire Report demonstrating adherence to fire safety regulations can strengthen your defence against potential lawsuits from injured occupants or property damage claims.

What are the common problems with Passive Fire Documentation?

Passive fire protection is crucial for the safety of occupants and the preservation of property. Here are some key reasons why it is essential.

Incomplete Documentation

Reports might lack crucial details like fire resistance ratings of buildingelements or clear identification of non-compliant areas.

Inaccurate Information

Documentation may contain errors or outdated information due to a lack ofproper recordkeeping or changes made to the building that weren't reflectedin the reports.

Missing Documentation

In some cases, buildings might entirely lack Passive Fire Reports, particularlyfor older structures that haven't undergone recent inspections.
