Passive fire protection is the blanket reference to all products/systems used to enhance fire safety in buildings (fire stopping, structural protection, air ducts, cable ducts, partitions, ceilings, fire-rated glass, etc.). Fire stopping systems comprise penetration seals used to insulate services that run through fire-rated walls or ceilings.
According to the International Building Code definition, fire stopping is an assemblage consisting of a fire-resistance-rated floor, floor/ceiling, or wall assembly. Fire stopping materials or devices, or both, are installed to resist the spread of fire through the assembly for a prescribed period of time.
