<strong>Sustainable</strong> <strong>Construction</strong> -<br />
Is fire protection required for composite metal decking floor system?<br />
Metal deckings that have been listed as fire rated floor systems under the Product Listing Scheme<br />
DO NOT require additional fire protection. These systems have been tested together with the<br />
concrete topping as a composite slab and can achieve the required fi re resistance. Fire protection<br />
would be required for any other non-listed metal decking systems.<br />
Another situation where the metal deck does not require fire protection is when the metal deck is<br />
used as a permanent formwork and does not form part of the design of the slab.<br />
