Guide 30-60-90 Min Fire Rated

4 Building regulation Part B specifies 30, 60, or 90 minute fire ratings for ceilings based on property type. Cutting holes for downlights compromises integrity. 4 Fire rated downlights must pass separate 30, 60, and 90 minute tests as ceiling constructions differ. Passing the 90 minute test does not guarantee passing lower ratings. 4 Eterna's fire rated downlights use intumescent material, which expands during fires to seal holes and block fire passage, restoring the original fire rating.
