Siderise has launched a suite of digital, application-specific Specification Packs to support design teams in achieving robust passive fire protection specifications.

Passive fire protection is a crucial yet complex area of building fire safety that must be considered from the earliest design stages to ensure accurate product selection and their appropriate application. However, with multiple data sources to draw from, it can be a laborious and time-consuming process for specifiers to get the information they need to ensure confidence and clarity in their choices.
To simplify this process, leading manufacturer of high-performance passive fire protection for the building envelope, Siderise, has created four new Specification Packs tailored to meet the needs of masonry, rainscreen, curtain wall, and precast and sealed external wall applications. They concisely summarise all the relevant product information for the designated application, including:
- Technical datasheets
- Third-party certification
- Standard detail drawings
- BIM objects
- Specification information and clauses
- Installation instructions
- Environmental Product Declarations
This helps to ensure decisions are backed by robust data and justified with the appropriate level of detail required to demonstrate how compliance with the functional requirements of the Building Regulations are going to be met. Additionally, by including live links to the latest information, users can be assured that they are working with the most up-to-date data and certifications, reducing the risk of holding outdated material. As Senior Technical Engineer for Specification Emmie Panagopoulos – who leads the development of these valuable tools – explains:
“By creating these application-specific Specification Packs, we want to empower the people looking to use our products to be able to make the best choices for their projects; arming them with all the details, tools and supporting services they need. This will help them to provide adequate levels of detail and justifications to not only satisfy requirements, such as Gateway 2 applications and the Golden Thread, but also confidently explain to their clients and project partners how fire safety has been embedded into their plans and strategies from the outset.”
In addition to valued data formats needed throughout the early selection process, the Packs also highlight the enhanced support services available from Siderise at different project stages. This includes design feedback, drawing reviews and overlays, standard and bespoke details, and support with NBS Chorus specifications as a licenced NBS Specification Writing Partner. It also contains links to book CPD seminars and product training, access learning resources and more – enabling all project partners to enhance their practical knowledge of passive fire protection in the building envelope.
