Passive Fire Conference

 

The Fire Safety Event has partnered with ASFP to bring a conference theatre that addresses passive fire protection topics and various fire safety measures in the built environment. Each day will feature themed discussions led by experts, providing essential advice. Day 1 will focus on The Green Book and Clear Book, Day 2 will delve into an Intro to Design Guide and Purple Book, and Day 3 will explore Grey Book V1 and V2 and Competency.

    The ASFP first published this Guide in 2012 after certification bodies identified gaps in Passive Fire Protection (PFP) knowledge among fire risk assessors. It went on to become one of the Association’s most downloaded resources.

    Following the Grenfell Tower fire in 2017 and subsequent legislative reform, particularly for Higher Risk Buildings, the Guide has been revised to reflect significant changes in fire safety law.

    While retaining its three core sections - regulatory principles, assessment procedures for PFP, and technical annexes - the updated edition reflects the Fire Safety Act 2021, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, and the Building Safety Act 2022.

    Key additions include enhanced fire door checks, guidance on assessing external wall systems, and a new annex on external wall construction, ensuring the Guide aligns with current regulatory expectations.

    This major update of the ASFP Purple Book strengthens its focus on the design of fire-resisting partition walls, recognising that their performance is determined long before installation begins. It provides clearer guidance on the selection, coordination, and integration of partition systems with services, doors, structure, and supporting fire-stopping - all aligned with tested evidence.

    The revised document supports a structured, auditable route from design intent through installation to long-term fire performance, reducing reliance on site-based correction and unsupported assumptions.

    As an industry we need to learn correct terminology and understand the classification descriptions to ensure we are selecting and installing Fire dampers and Smoke control dampers suitable for the performances we require.
