Where openings are made in these fire-separating elements, for example, for pipes and cables to pass through, adequate fire-sealing of the gaps must be made to reinstate the fire resistance of the compartment. This is explained in section 9.1 of &#8216;Approved Document B&#8217; as below:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-59654 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walraven.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2023\/01\/Approved-document-B-paragraph-9.1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"823\" height=\"86\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walraven.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2023\/01\/Approved-document-B-paragraph-9.1.jpg 823w, https:\/\/www.walraven.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2023\/01\/Approved-document-B-paragraph-9.1-300x31.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.walraven.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2023\/01\/Approved-document-B-paragraph-9.1-768x80.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.walraven.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2023\/01\/Approved-document-B-paragraph-9.1-480x50.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.walraven.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2023\/01\/Approved-document-B-paragraph-9.1-600x63.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 823px) 100vw, 823px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Therefore, wherever we have a fire-resisting construction (wall or floor) it is absolutely mandatory to reinstate its fire resistance by fire stopping any service that might be penetrating it.
