FSi Promat secures CCPI assessment across core fire stopping range

The fire stopping manufacturer now has CCPI assessment across all FSi Promat manufactured sealants, batts, collars, wraps and compounds launched prior to 2025. This follows on from securing the standard for its Silverliner range of open state cavity barriers in 2024.

The assessment covers product information for FSi Promat’s Stopseal Batt and coating, Pyrocoustic, Pyrolastic, PyroPro HPE and LST sealants, PipeBloc collars and PWP wraps, NS Putty Pads, PenoPatch, Flexi-Coat, Silverseal compounds, S-Line Pillows, PS Coating and Paraflam cavity barriers.

Improving standards

Introduced by the Construction Products Association (CPA), the CCPI aims to improve standards across the construction industry by providing greater confidence that ‘product information is clear, accurate, accessible, up-to-date and unambiguous’.

FSi Promat has worked extensively across the past two years to ensure all the relevant information is in place and meets the CCPI guidelines to support clarity and information accessibility for installers, contractors and specifiers.

The company manufactures a range of specialist fire stopping products at its site in Measham that are designed to reinstate compartmentation to prevent the spread of fire for a defined period of time.

The above range includes solutions that are used to seal gaps in passive fire protection systems created by joints or service penetrations, such as pipework, cabling and electrical sockets.

Demonstrating competency

CCPI stipulates that technical information and support should be easily accessible and that information has been provided by a representative who demonstrates competency in their knowledge of the system through relevant training and experience.

A voluntary code, the CCPI ties in closely to the need for transparency and for all parties to actively demonstrate competence amid wider industry changes, including those brought forward by the introduction of the Building Safety Act 2022.

Performance and compliance

Emma Taylor, marketing manager for FSi Promat, said: “FSi Promat is committed to achieving and demonstrating the highest levels of performance and compliance in its products. It’s essential the information that communicates this is clear.”

Taylor continued: “Through securing CCPI assessment for our core range of fire stopping solutions, we’ve demonstrated our commitment to making sure that the evidence behind our product claims is also easy to access.”

In conclusion, Taylor stated: “Building safety depends on competency, robust systems and clear information. The CCPI allows us to provide greater confidence to those professionals specifying and installing our products. The importance of supporting correct specification and installation cannot be understated.”
