Electrical installations in fire protection
Box, housing and sealing systems for fire-protection walls and ceilings.
By using the AGRO fire protection systems, which activate automatically and maintain the fire resistance class in spite of the embedded electrical installation, the electrical trade can provide tested and certified fire protection from a single source. No more home-made encasings, filling work using fire-protection mortar or stuffing with mineral wool!
Fire protection technology. | Legal basis.
Due to federalism, fire protection legislation in Switzerland is the responsibility of the cantons. The cantons regulate fire protection in their fire protection, fire protection or fire police legislation, partly also in laws on building insurance. Due to the intercantonal agreement to dismantle technical barriers to trade (IVTH), the Swiss fire protection regulations VKF have been incorporated into cantonal legislation.
The cantonal fire police order structural or technical fire protection measures under given conditions. The concrete implementation and execution is the responsibility of the owner, who has been imposed the obligation. If the prescribed fire protection measures are not complied with, the owner can demand that the building be upgraded. Otherwise there is a risk of exclusions from the insurance benefits. The authorities do not have to bear the consequences of damage resulting from the failure to assume personal responsibility - the owner remains responsible.
