FAQs

Electrical compartmentation works FAQs

What is electrical compartmentation?
Electrical compartmentation involves maintaining the fire integrity of walls, floors and ceilings where electrical services pass through fire-resistant elements of a building. When cables, conduits, cable trays, trunking and other electrical systems penetrate fire-rated compartments, they can create openings that allow fire and smoke to spread. Compartmentation works ensure these penetrations are properly protected using approved fire protection systems.
Why are electrical fire protection systems important?

Electrical fire protection systems help contain fire within designated compartments, providing occupants with more time to evacuate and reducing damage to the building. They also support compliance with fire safety legislation and building regulations.

How often should compartmentation be inspected?

Compartmentation should be inspected regularly as part of a building’s overall fire safety management strategy. Additional inspections are recommended following refurbishment works, electrical installations or alterations that may affect fire-resistant barriers.
