Join PFC Corofil’s expert-led CPD session and gain essential insight into fire testing for façade systems
This RIBA-accredited Continuing Professional Development (CPD) seminar is tailored for architects, specifiers, and contractors who are committed to designing safer, compliant, and future-ready buildings.
What You’ll Learn about
Façade Fire Safety
The fundamentals of fire behavior in façade systems
Key UK and international fire testing standards (e.g., BS 8414, EN 13501) for both open state and full fill cavity barriers
The role of cavity barriers and firestops in façade safety
The different types of cavity barrier suitable, and what to look out for when specifying
How to interpret fire test data and certification
Real-world case studies and best practice guidance for fire rated façade systems
Why Attend Our Session On Fire Resistance Testing in Facades?
In today’s regulatory landscape, understanding how façade systems perform in fire scenarios is not optional—it’s essential.
Our CPD, Fire Testing in Facades, demystifies the complexities of fire performance, testing standards, and compliance pathways, empowering you to make informed design and specification decisions on fire resistant facades.
PREPARE. PERFORM. PROTECT.

FAQS
Cavity barriers can be tested for reaction to fire and resistance to fire.
Resistance to fire determines the length of time a product such as the cavity barrier can contain the fire and heat within the compartment.
Reaction to fire determines the combustibility of products and how it may contribute to the fire load.
Open state cavity barriers allow ventilation during normal use but close under fire conditions. Full fill barriers permanently block cavities, offering continuous fire resistance. High Risk Buildings (HRB) are now required to be built with non-combustible products in the cavity.
A cavity barrier restricts fire and heat spread within concealed spaces in walls and floors.
Passive fire protection in façades involves built-in systems like cavity barriers that contain fire and heat, helping maintain structural integrity and protect escape routes.
