FireStop Ei60 Single Glazed Fire Rated Partition System

Manufacturer guidance

To architects choice and in accordance with the requirements of Approved Document K.

Manufacturer guidance

Consult with the manufacturer to ensure the system complies with current regulations BS 5234:1992 non load-bearing screens not protecting a change in adjacent floor level of >380 mm.

For glass load resistance criteria;

• BS 5234 not applied to “all glass partition screens”.
• Nominal line load criteria of “short-term impact load” utilised.
• 0.36 kN/m applied as linear load at 1100 mm above FFL.
• Glass deflection limited to L/65 or 25 mm, whichever is less under load.
• Maximum deflection and stress in accordance with the glass performance requirements of EN 572/ EN 12150/ EN 12543/ EN 14179 (where heat soaked).

Building regulations Part N (BS 6262 & BS EN 12600) + InsStucEng publication “structural use of glass in buildings” insert as required:

• 0.36 kN/m (default load).
• 0.74 kN/m.
• 1.5 kN/m.

BS 6180:2011 barriers in and about buildings for Atria or protected change in adjacent floor level of >380 mm.

Horizontal uniformly distributed line load 1100 mm above FFL (glass deflection limited to L/65 or 25 mm, whichever is less relative to glass fixings).

Structural glass based on line-load and attendant UDL + point load, insert as required:

• 0.74 kN/m.
• 1.5 kN/m.
• 3.0 kN/m.
