Fire Rated Notice boards – when a requirement?

The need for a fire resistant notice board is often driven by the strict guidelines and requirements imposed upon public buildings by health and safety laws. Public area building comes under the ‘Buildings and Fire precautions Legislations’. This includes the use of fire resistant building materials such as paint and fire doors to have an effective fire prevention management strategy. Regular notice boards that cover a large area of the wall can render ineffective the fire prevention precautions taken to protect the building. This is especially true when open type notice boards are used with lots of paper notices attached. The paper could easily be ignited in a stair enclosure or corridor that would hinder or prevent the use of an escape route.

Fire Resistant Notice boards – a smart choice anyway!

Even if you do not fall into these strict guidelines that hospitals, colleges and universities have to adhere to, there are many practical reasons for deciding on a flame retardant notice board over a regular notice board. Fire rated notice boards when tested to the relevant 2002 European ‘Reaction to Fire’ tests, were classified B-SI, d0 according to BS-EN 13501-1. This classification identifies that this product can be used in the same areas as products tested to BS476 Parts 6 and 7 and classified as class 0 according to UK building regulations.
