Hi, could anyone poi int in the right direction to get some further information on the requirements to install intumescent putty pads/boxes to electrical sockets please?

Are there such tags available that can be fitted to fire doors that store data such as the type of fire door fitted, last inspection dates etc. and can be scanned by a suitable device to read the data stored on the tag?

When undertaking a fire risk assessment would you recommend fire stopping (at all floor levels in a multi store residential building) within the service risers even if the service riser itself was constructed to provide 60 minutes protection. I know this sounds like a belt and braces approach but I hear this often from fire officers in that what they want to see, although I appreciate they can sometimes be incorrect in their approach.

I've read this forum a lot over the past year and have decided to join in as its a fantastic source of information. What are fire risk assessors recommending where mid rise residential blocks (6-7 storeys) have Upvc windows/Upvc panels covering in what used to be the external walkways which effectively form part of the escape routes?
