GRP Fire Performance Selector

Define the project requirement first, then compare it with controlled evidence for the exact product and end-use configuration. The selector does not infer compliance from a resin family or the words “fire retardant”.

1 · Application
2 · Project fire requirement
3 · Controlled evidence
Evidence boundary: material family is not used to determine compliance. The result depends on the stated project requirement and controlled evidence for the proposed configuration.

This tool supports option development and evidence control. It does not replace the project fire strategy, a fire engineer, Building Regulations assessment, structural design or formal product certification.

Interpretation discipline

Evidence first. Selection second.

Reaction to fire

Compare the project requirement with the classification evidence for the exact product and relevant end-use conditions. Do not substitute a generic resin description for tested/classified evidence.

Smoke and droplets

Where s- or d-class performance is specified, the selector checks those separately. A headline letter class alone is not treated as proof of the complete requirement.

Fire resistance

Reaction-to-fire classification is not treated as fire-resistance evidence. Where a fire-resistance or compartmentation requirement exists, a separate evidence route must be identified.

Technical review boundary

Uncertainty is routed, not hidden.

A green result means the entered requirement and entered controlled evidence align within this selector. It is not a universal declaration of compliance. Any changed product, support, fixing, orientation, assembly or fire-strategy requirement must be reviewed against the evidence again.

Share whatever is available. A finished specification is not required; photographs, marked-up PDFs and partial dimensions can all help us identify the next responsible step.
