Fire protection for an attached garage.

[pellepite]

What are the fire protection regulations when building an attached garage?

Is a single layer of plasterboard enough, or are two layers needed? Or is there even more to consider?

Read BBR, Boverkets Byggregler, www.boverket.se.

Well, I've been in there and checked, but you probably need a bit of education to understand everything that's there... Was thinking more if someone knew how you have to build for it to be approved.

It depends on what fire rating is required.

Should it withstand 30 minutes or 60, or even more?

I have just received building permission and had a construction meeting for my attached garage with living space both beside and above.

In my case, a 30-minute fire rating applies to the walls/ceiling adjacent to the living space, and according to the rescue service, this should be fairly easy to achieve even with single plasterboard.

A layer of gypsum on both sides of a wooden stud frame provides EI30 fire resistance. If the frame is at least 95mm and there is at least 95mm of mineral wool in between, the class becomes EI60.
