Passive fire protection refers to a set of measures and materials designed to prevent the spread of fire and limit its impact on buildings or structures.
Unlike active fire protection systems that require human intervention or activation, passive fire protection is built into the structure itself. It includes elements such as fire-resistant walls, floors, doors, and windows, as well as firestops, fire dampers, and fire-resistant coatings. These measures help to compartmentalise and contain the fire, delaying its spread and providing additional time for evacuation and firefighting efforts. Passive fire protection plays a crucial role in enhancing the safety of buildings and reducing the potential damage caused by fires.
