The seminar highlights the issues facing the construction industry and provides guidance and information to allow architects to make informed decisions when seeking to specify truly non combustible composite panels.
The session is offered through the RIBA CPD Providers Network, which means it has been rigorously assessed as being of the highest standard to meet the RIBA CPD requirements and will also earn double-weighted CPD points.
The Fire CPD looks at some of the recent regulatory and legislative changes, giving an overview of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order, Part B of the Building Regulations and the CDM Regulations 2007.
It goes on to explain how these changes effect the specification process with relation to fire engineering design and testing, with the aim of allowing specifiers to make correct and educated choices.
The CPD also provides an introduction to LPS 1181, the Loss Prevention Certification Board standard for fire protection and looks at whether this alone is an adequate guarantee for the prevention of fire spread.
Independent research carried out by Eurobond showed a worrying lack of understanding amongst architects as to what the different grades of LPS1181 demonstrate.
"With almost 80% of architects surveyed stating that they're required to source highly fire resistant steel faced composite panels, this lack of understanding is alarming," says Richard Wigley, Marketing Manager at Eurobond.
"The Fire CPD has been launched to provide clear guidance in order that specifiers can be sure of making an informed choice".
