New Electrical and Plumbing Results and Composite Floor Assessment
Allproof has recently published its most substantial update to passive fire testing literature to date. This development expands the scope of testing to include electrical penetrations and provides a comprehensive assessment of composite flooring. These advancements further enhance the capability of Allproof’s industry-leading, New Zealand-made passive fire protection products.
One of the most significant developments in the latest literature update is the introduction of a dedicated electrical testing document. This document focuses exclusively on a variety of electrical and mixed-service penetrations, including paircoil, data cable bundles, optical fibre, TPS cables and other common electrical services requiring fire rating. The Allproof Flush Box Intumescent Pad (FBINT) is also included, providing a clear overview of all fire-rated electrical services. This addition enables installers and engineers to source a wider range of tested solutions from a single supplier, benefitting from Allproof’s advanced intumescent technology. This streamlines product selection, simplifies ordering, and supports local manufacturing.
Composite floor systems have historically been challenging to fire rate due to the complex installation requirements created by their undulating underside profiles and varying depths of concrete cover. Allproof pioneered the Drop-In Fire Collar (DIFC) to address these challenges. This 100% New Zealand-made solution became a benchmark for the industry, providing effective fire protection while accommodating the irregularities of composite floor profiles. As composite flooring has evolved with new tray profiles and topping thicknesses dictated by structural engineering, fire testing has become increasingly complex. Allproof has now extended its assessment to cover composite floor profile changes of 60, 80 and 210 mm, with the DIFC’s Fire Resistance Level (FRL) matching that of the composite floor tray for up to 120 minutes.
Allproof’s passive fire range is BRANZ appraised, providing confidence that the products have undergone rigorous independent examination. BRANZ reviews Allproof’s test reports, verifies results, audits technical manuals for accuracy and compliance, and evaluates manufacturing processes to ensure ongoing quality. The BRANZ Appraisal No. 1088 confirms the high performance and reliability of Allproof’s passive fire products in meeting New Zealand Building Code (NZBC) requirements.
The company’s approach to manufacturing and testing is guided by a commitment to producing systems that simplify specification and installation without compromising performance. By achieving high results without over-engineering, Allproof reduces costs, eliminates unnecessary components, and saves installation time. Known for the quality of its intumescent technology, Allproof often requires only a collar and minimal sealant to achieve effective fire stopping. All technical documentation, including specification sheets, installation details and test reports, is available openly on the company’s website without access restrictions. In addition, customers can subscribe to a dedicated passive fire newsletter for updates on product developments within this fast-moving sector.
