What happened
Access Panels Direct published a fire evidence pack and a building regulations guide for its one-hour fire rated access panels on October 28, 2026. The guide covers building regulations in England and compiles datasheets, test evidence, and fitting instructions for professionals like fire engineers and building control bodies. Product pages now include datasheets, fire test certificates, and fitting instructions, along with Building Information Modelling files where available.
Why it matters
The guide sets out how a panel fitted in a fire resisting wall or ceiling must maintain the same level of fire resistance, matching test evidence, orientation, size, and substrate. This documentation standardizes how fire-rated access panels must be specified and fitted in construction projects.
