Fire protection for ducts refers to measures taken to prevent or contain the spread of fire through air ducts or ventilation systems, in accordance with the British Standard BS 476 Parts 20/22. This may involve the use of fire-resistant materials, such as fire-rated ducts or fire dampers, to ensure that ducts remain intact and do not provide a pathway for flames, smoke or toxic fumes to spread throughout a building. Such fire protection measures may be required by building codes or regulations, in order to maintain the safety of occupants and limit damage in the event of a fire.
