Fire approved fixings

Law regulations may vary by country. Please contact CELO experts to provide you further information on approvals and local requirements. Our experts in structural fire protection for electrical installations will be able to assist you.

Fire safety in buildings generally requires that in the event of a fire there is sufficient time available for people to escape from the building. Certain walls, floors and fasteners provide fire resistance for the purposes of constructing fire compartments and/or protected escape routes ensuring the structure resists collapse.

For system fastening, the approvals of the cable systems

with integrated maintenance of electrical functionality

according to DIN 4102 Part 12 require metal

anchors with a general construction approval or a

European Technical Approval/Evaluation. In contrast

to normal "cold" fastening, these anchors must be set

at least twice as deeply for a fire protection application.

Alternatively, anchors are used which have

proven their load capacity and fire resistance length in

a fire test. With these solutions, the necessary setting

depths according to the load are listed in the approval

documents or in the appropriate fire protection reports.

It must also be noted for which substrates and

resistance classes the anchors are approved.
