Common questions around specifying a flame retardant panel
Getting information for an architect is a minefield. Real difference is to understand the building requirements, and Euroclass systems specified.
If the spec says Euroclass B for instance and they are offered a cheaper equivalent, please ask for evidence of this product and understanding the spec and what material is used is critical.
Fire is serious ensure your materials are to a flame retardant spec
Talk to the manufacturer
Do your research and use an independent source like the WPA
Make sure you have all the following documentation:
Datasheet
DOP
Fire classification report
Certification of consistency of performance.
These are all musts and you have to have these to give you the confidence in the product.
Don’t rely on the fire classification report alone and make sure it meets the field of application.
