Fire protection for cables and lines

Fire protection plays a central role in the planning and construction of a building. Nevertheless, faulty installations are often the cause of fires. Heinz-Dieter Fröses' compact technical book helps with the professional selection from the multitude of products available on the market.

All important aspects are dealt with in a practical and easy-to-understand manner:

• Fire behaviour,
• installation systems,
• cladding,
• fire protection coatings,
• testing and marking of distributors as well as
• the special requirements in the area of escape and rescue routes.

Preventive structural fire protection remains the focus of the book in the 5th edition. In particular, the author deals with the question of which legal and normative requirements must be observed with regard to

• the penetration of fire compartments by cables and lines,
• the functional integrity of cable and wiring systems, and
• the fire load height of cables and lines in escape and rescue routes.
