Fire Protection in Building
Technology
Constructional fire protection is
playing an increasing important role
in house and building technology.
Increasingly complex piping systems
and with that rising fire load risks are
an increasing challenge to planning,
design and installation of piping systems.
This applies especially in the case of
buildings for special purposes such
as hospitals, old people's homes,
shopping centres and schools where
fire protection measures are indispensable.
Escape and rescue routes or wall
and ceiling penetrations for pipes are
important areas where the challenge
is to fulfil and combine the demands
of constructional fire protection such
as the minimum required duration
of fire resistance as well as vibration
control and thermal insulation.
The specifications for building fire
protection are given by, among others,
the German Model Building
Code (MBO), the German State
Building Codes (LBO), DIN 4102,
the German Pipe Systems Guideline
LAR (MLAR) but also the DIN 4109
standard for vibration control considerations
and the German Energy
Saving Regulation (EnEV) in the area
of thermal insulation.
The Situation
The Fire Protection Requirement
according to LAR
The following requirements are
defined for fastenings in the region
above self-supporting, fire-protecting
false ceilings in terms of fire duration
resistance:
Fire resistance duration F30 in the
region between ceiling and suspended
fire-protection false ceiling
Fire-proof fastenings for piping
systems in escape and rescue
routes
Fastening to approved plugs and
anchors made of steel with proof
of fire protection
Proof of stability and deformation
of support systems by fire testing

Fire-Tested MÜPRO Attachment
Systems
The use of fire-tested MÜPRO
attachment systems in combination
with a proper fire-protection design
of the fixture construction creates
a system that completely meets
the high demands of a fire resistant
attachment system as laid down in
DIN 4102 and the LAR.
The modular spectrum of fire-tested
MÜPRO products allows you to build
up a comprehensive set of of fireprotected
attachment solutions. Our
application technology team provides
competent support in the planning
and design of fixture solutions.
