Conservatory fire class EI30

[Mokki-81]

Hello!

I have received a building permit for a glazed patio. It will be located very close to the neighbor's property line and shed. In the description for the building permit, it states that "a wall closer to the property line than 4 m must be constructed in fire class EI30." Does anyone have experience with this? How do we get an approved wall against the neighbor? Is it enough for the glass to be fire-rated?

I can mention that the patio will be on our wooden deck... and is half a meter above the ground!

Thanks

1 layer of gypsum can withstand 30 minutes. You can also order fire-rated glass, but it is expensive.

When we were building, I tried to research what it entails. From what I understand, there are no direct rules for what meets IE30. For us, it ended with 2 layers of gypsum with staggered seams. But you have to have it approved by someone responsible for quality (I think that's what it's called, it could be something else?) who signs off on papers that it meets IE30.

It is obvious that there are rules for what is required to meet the different fire safety standards. How else would designers be able to draw buildings?

Hard to believe that 1 layer of gypsum will fix it.

I found a good description http://byggsystem.knaufdanogips.se/physics/ph_fire/constructions.html
What I mean by saying there are no rules is that the authorities don't specify how it should be built. The requirement lies with the builder to show that it can withstand, for example, 30 minutes.

An answer to the question is 2 layers of gips and steel studs.

Well, your building inspector will not come out to you to prescribe in detail exactly how you should meet certain requirements. That doesn't mean the requirements don't exist. All functional requirements are in the BBR.

Through the requirements of Boverket, so-called approved lists can be presented from various manufacturers, i.e., constructions that have already been tested and type-approved. For example, what you linked to. Here's another one http://www.traguiden.se/TGtemplates/popup1spalt.aspx?id=1406
