Fire safety of finishing materials

Fire in spreads rapidly and eventually leads to destructive consequences. That's why should focus on all aspects of fire safety at the design stage and premises with the knowledge of making an informed choice of finishing materials. Requirements for fire safety and decorative coating materials, coatings, flooring, roofing, waterproofing and thermal insulation materials are detailed in the normative and technical documentation. Indicators of fire danger and entered into the certificates, and normative-technical documentation (GOST, TU and others). To determine the performance and characteristics of coating materials, the following regulatory documents: GOST 30244-94 "Construction materials. Test methods for flammability, "GOST 30402-96" Construction materials. Method of test for flammability, GOST 51032-97 "Construction materials. Test Method for Flame Propagation ", GOST 12.1.044-89" fire and explosion hazard of substances and materials. Nomenclature of indices and methods of their determination, SNIP 21-01-97 "Fire safety of buildings and structures." The main document defining the standards for fire safety for construction and decoration materials, is the NPB 244-97 it is determined that the fire hazard of building materials is determined by such fire-technical characteristics such as: flammability, flame spread over the surface flammability, smoke-forming ability and toxicity. In accordance with the NPB 244-97, construction materials are classified in non-combustible (NG) and oil (F). Non-combustible or fire-resistant materials and supplies are not capable of burning in the air. Flammable (combustible) substances and materials can ignite spontaneously and ignite when exposed to an ignition source and self-burning after it was removed. Combustible materials are divided into four groups, G1, G2, G3, G4. Flammability and combustibility of the group established in accordance with GOST 30244. For non-combustible construction materials other indicators of fire danger (paragraphs 3.3-3.6) is not defined. In accordance with GOST 30244-94, suspended ceilings Geipel belong to the group G1 (flammable material on the SNIP 21-01-97). For flammability of combustible construction materials are classified into three groups B1, B2, B3. Flammability group established in accordance with GOST 30402. In accordance with this document, ceilings Geipel are a group of flammability B1 (inflammable material on the SNIP 21-01-97). Combustible construction materials on the smoke-forming ability into three groups: - low smoke-forming ability (D1) - with a moderate smoke-forming ability (D2) - with a high smoke-forming ability (D3). Smoke-forming ability of the group are set to the value of the coefficient of smoke production in accordance with GOST 12.1.044.Koeffitsient smoke production ceilings Geipel - D1 (low smoke-forming ability). In accordance with the European classification of fire, decoration and building materials are divided into so-called European standard. In total there are 39 classes, which are divided into 7 main levels: A1, A2, B, C, D, E, F, where A1 corresponds to the best test results, and the class F are categorized products and materials. The main classes also have additional certification by the degree of smoke generation and the spread of fire. Classes smoke generation s1, s2, s3, where s1 is the best. Class education and the spread of flames and burning particles d0, d1 and d2, where d0 is the best. By European standards, ceilings Geipel attributed to European standard B-s1, d0. Thus, suspended ceilings Geipel, appropriate fire safety requirements are made of flammable and inflammable materials. They prevent the spread of flame and smoke. Geipel safe suspension structures capable of withstanding temperatures up to 300 ? C, so they are not destroyed and no collapses in the early stages of a fire. Due to its characteristics, ceilings Geipel can be used in any type of premises. All products Geipel organoleptic and sanitary indicators meet the requirements of regulatory documents that confirmed the necessity of sanitary-epidemiological conclusions. In SanPiN 2.1.2.729-99 "Polymeric and polymer-containing building materials, products and designs. Hygienic safety is confirmed that the production, application (use) and implementation of new products and products imported into the territory of the Russian Federation (ceiling panels open and closed), is made in accordance with the specifications and meets the sanitary-epidemiological rules and standards. The basis for the acceptance of products, the relevant State and epidemiological rules and standards of hygiene are harakteristiki.Podvesnye ceilings Geipel, in accordance with the requirements of SanPiN 2.1.2.729-99 not create indoor peculiar smell, more than the permitted rate, and do not emit into the environment of volatile substances in such quantities that may have direct or indirect adverse effects on the human body (with a joint action of all substances released). In accordance with the GN 2.1.6.1338-03 "Maximum permissible concentration (MPC) of pollutants in the air of populated areas", all substances are divided into 4 hazard class: - Class 1 - extremely dangerous - class 2 - high-risk - grade 3 - moderately dangerous - Class 4 - low risk during operation of suspended ceilings from polymeric construction materials (PSM) in indoor air are not allocated chemical substances belonging to a hazard class. The content of other substances released from the JMP does not exceed the maximum allowable concentrations (daily average for the air of populated areas, or indoor air), approved by the Ministry of Health, Goskomsanepidnadzorom Russia and the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation. In accordance with the hygiene rules in the allocation of engineering plastics more harmful chemicals with summation of the action, the amount of concentration ratios in their MPC does not exceed unity: - Formaldehyde 0.01 mg/m3 - Styrene 0.002 mg/m3 - Epichlorohydrin 0.1 mg/m3 - acetone, 0.35 mg m3 All elements of suspended ceilings Geipel are made from environmentally friendly materials and decorative and protective coating of metal are used even in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Therefore, the ceiling systems Geipel acceptable for use in medical and pediatric uchrezhdeniyah.Takim, choosing ceilings Geipel, you choose a safe, environmentally friendly and hygienic.
