Electrical installations for fire protection
Box, housing and bulkhead systems for fire protection walls and ceilings.
Structural fire protection measures are designed to contain fire and smoke in the event of a fire, ensuring that emergency routes remain usable. Electrical installations, in particular, can compromise the fire resistance of walls and ceilings. With KAISER fire protection systems, the fire resistance class is maintained despite the installation of electrical equipment – tested and certified, without the need for costly encasing, filling or caulking work.

Due to Germany’s federal system , building regulations are the responsibility of the individual federal states. The Working Group of Ministries Responsible for Construction (ARGEBAU) draws up joint model regulations, which are adopted by the federal states as laws, ordinances or guidelines – in some cases with adaptations. The basis for structural fire protection is Section 14 of the Model Building Code (MBO). The requirements of the Building Codes and German regional building codes are further specified by decrees, technical building regulations and building control standards.
The German regional building codes generally distinguish between
- buildings of a standard type or use (e.g. residential buildings) and
- buildings of a special type or use (e.g. industrial buildings, places of assembly or hospitals)
Fire protection in accordance with standards is therefore not only a legal obligation, but also a key prerequisite for safety and the avoidance of liability.
