TENMAT FIRE SLEEVES CE MARK APPROVED
TENMAT has obtained CE Mark status for the range of TENMAT Firefly 109 Fire Sleeves.
The range includes the TENMAT Firefly 109 Vent Duct Fire Sleeve which is the only CE Marked product designed specifically to firestop PVC ventilation ducting.
The CE marking shows compliance with all relevant EU legislation meaning the product can be supplied and installed throughout the EU without restriction.
Within the UK, the 1 July 2013 will see the Construction Products Regulation (CPR) coming fully into force where it will be mandatory for construction products covered by a Harmonised European Standard (hEN) to have CE marking.
TENMAT has implemented CE Marking status well in advance of any legislative requirements relating to fire stop penetration seals. This provides specifiers, suppliers and installers with the peace of mind that the product will meet the latest legislative requirements for a firestopping component and can be used in confidence.
The CE Marking follows significant investment in a detailed testing program at Chiltern International Fire which saw the products fire tested to the most stringent EN 1366-3 fire resistance tests, including Uncapped/Uncapped (U/U) testing, in various construction types.
In addition to the fire resistance testing, the products have also undergone extensive Initial Type-Testing (ITT) and Factory Production Control (FPC) Inspections and will be under on-going surveillance of factory production controls by the Notified Body, BM Trada, to confirm the continued consistency and quality of the product.
The range includes the Firefly 109 Pipe Fire Sleeves for use on Copper, Steel, Cast Iron and various Plastic Pipes up to 160mm and the Firefly 109 Vent Duct Fire Sleeves for use on all common rectangular and circular PVC ventilation ducting.
