Firecut FM-900
1. This approval relates to the use of Firecut FM-900 for the fire protection of
I-shaped beams and columns and hollow beams and columns. The precise scope is
given in Tables 1 to 5 which show the total dry film thickness of Firecut FM-900
(excluding primer and top sealer) required to provide fire resistance periods in
accordance with BS476: Part 21: 1987 of up to 120 minutes for differing sections and
section factors.

2. This certification is designed to demonstrate compliance of the product or system

specifically with Approved Document B (England and Wales), Section D of the Technical
Standards (Scotland), Technical Booklet E (N. Ireland). If compliance is required to other
regulatory or guidance documents there may be additional considerations or conflict to be
taken into account.’

3. The products are approved on the basis of:

i) Initial type testing.

ii) A design appraisal against TS15.
iii) Production surveillance under ISO 9001: 2008.
iv) Inspection and surveillance of factory production control.
v) Audit testing

4. The data referring to three-sided fire exposure of beams relates to beams supporting
concrete floor slabs. Separate consideration is given where this is not the case.
1
5. The data shown is applicable to steel sections blast cleaned to ISO 8501-1 SA2 /2 or
equivalent and primed with a suitable and compatible primer. Specifications of surface
preparations, primers and top sealers is available from YUNG CHI PAINT & VARNISH
MFG CO LTD whose responsibility is to ensure that Firecut FM-900 is compatible for use
in respect of both ambient and fire conditions. The total dry film thickness of primer and
top sealer together should not exceed 0.15mm.

6. The data shown is applicable to Firecut FM-900 applied by spray to horizontal, vertical,
flexural and compression members supporting loads up to the maximum design loads
specified in BS449: Part 2 as indicated in Tables 1 to 5.

7. The approval relates to on going production. Product and/or its immediate packaging is
identified with the manufacturers’ name, the product name or number, the CERTIFIRE
name or name and mark, together with the CERTIFIRE certificate number and
application where appropriate.

8. The data shown in the tables is based on an assessment which complies with the criteria
for acceptability now incorporated within the Certifire scheme.
