LPS1208 - LPCB Fire resistance requirements
for elements of construction used to provide
compartmentation
Like FM Global, the Loss Prevention Council in the
UK also have their own third party independent
approval process which also involves pre-fi re
testing inspection and on going factory audits to
verify ongoing performance.
The fi re testing requirements and acceptance
criteria are different to FM Global. The fi re testing
does not utilise ISO9705 fi re test method, but uses
a different LPC room corner fi re test method.
LPC Approval to LPS1181 applies to materials
used for wall and ceiling linings. LPC Approval to
LPS1208 applies to materials used as fi re rated wall
and ceiling assemblies
