Specification guidance

Understand the rating.
Specify the right system.

E describes integrity; EI describes integrity and insulation. The time classification is one part of the complete specification not a substitute for the project fire strategy.

E30

Integrity · 30 minutes

Resists fire spread without an insulation classification. For openings where the fire strategy calls for E30.

EI30

Integrity + insulation · 30 minutes

Limits fire and heat transfer for the classified period. May be considered for lobbies, stairwells and residential conversions where specified.

EI60

Integrity + insulation · 60 minutes

An insulated option for mixed-use developments, apartments and hotels where the fire strategy requires this rating.

EI90

Integrity + insulation · 90 minutes

For specifications requiring a longer insulation period, including relevant high-rise and escape-route applications.

EI120

Integrity + insulation · 120 minutes

The highest rating in this range, for specialist and demanding applications where specified.

Ratings and applications must be confirmed against the relevant test/classification evidence, permitted dimensions, glazing, hardware, supporting construction and installation requirements. Fire testing documentation, including BS EN 1634 where applicable, is available for review with our technical team.
