Section 74 of 105
72. Fire, Smoke and Acoustic Interfaces
Stable section ID: S05-CON-014-SECTION-74 · 17 content blocks
Fire, Smoke, and Acoustic Interfaces shall preserve required continuity across connections, joints, penetrations, Modules, and replaceable assets.
Fire-related specifications shall address:
- Fire resistance.
- Flame and heat exposure.
- Smoke leakage.
- Compartmentation.
- Joint movement.
- Penetration protection.
- Structural performance during fire.
- Fire-stopping.
- Inspection and replacement.
- Firefighter and emergency access.
Fire performance shall be verified for the applicable assembly and Interface condition. Material ratings alone shall not establish the performance of the completed joint.
Replacement, maintenance, utility modification, or Cartridge removal shall not leave required fire or smoke barriers incomplete.
Acoustic Interfaces shall address airborne and structure-borne transmission, flanking paths, vibration, sealing, penetrations, and service conditions.
Where fire, moisture, thermal, and acoustic requirements share the same physical region, their combined behavior and maintenance sequence shall be coordinated.
Required protective elements shall remain identifiable and inspectable without unnecessary destruction.
