National Fireproofing Contractors Association

?? Emirates Safety Laboratory at PasFiPro ‘25 – Elevating Fire Safety Through Innovation & Compliance ?? On February 12th and 13th, 2025, Emirates Safety Laboratory (ESL) was proud to participate in PasFiPro ‘25, a leading Symposium for Passive Fire Protection, held in Dubai. Hosted in collaboration with Firestop Contractors International Association and National Fireproofing Contractors Association, this event united industry leaders, regulators, and experts to explore the latest advancements in fire-resistant materials, testing methodologies, and regulatory compliance. ?? Key topics shaping the future of passive fire protection included: ? Code & Standards Compliance – Keeping pace with evolving fire safety regulations. ? Risk Assessment & Fire Safety Strategies – Enhancing building resilience. ? Firestopping & Fireproofing Accreditation – Ensuring the reliability of protective systems. ? New UL Solutions Technical Evaluation Developer Program – Advancing industry testing capabilities. ?? ESL’s Expertise in Focus: Fire-Rated Ducts & Penetration Seals – Is “Mix & Match” Acceptable? ?? Our Testing Manager, Sebastian Ukleja, delivered an insightful session on the risks of combining fire-rated components from different manufacturers—commonly known as “Mix & Match”. His presentation highlighted: ?? Compatibility Risks – How untested combinations can compromise fire resistance. ?? The Role of Rigorous Testing & Certification – Ensuring system integrity and performance. ?? Regulatory & Code Compliance – Following approved fire protection systems is essential. At ESL, our mission is clear: to drive innovation in fire safety, support regulatory compliance, and ensure the highest testing and certification standards. By participating in events like PasFiPro ‘25, we continue to advance safer building practices and foster industry collaboration. ?? A sincere thank you to FCIA and NFCA for organising such a valuable event! We look forward to continuing these critical discussions and shaping the future of passive fire protection together. ?? 04-520-1800 ?? [email protected] ?? www.ESLglobal.com ??
