Need 1 hour fire rated soffits and facias for Oil Tank

Stevet284 · 24 Jan 2010

Hi,

I am going to have to replace my oil tank for my heating system soon.

It is located next to a garage wall.

Under the new regulations I cannot install a new tank in the same position
without fireproofing the wall.

I understand that it needs to have a 1 hour fire rating.

I'm trying to find something to cover the soffits and facias with to acheive this.

I have found some UPVC ones that are fire resistent here:

http://www.eurocell.co.uk/buildingplastics/euroboard.html

Fire rating to BS476 Part 7: 1997 Class 1.

I'm having trouble finding out exactly what the above BS standard is, i.e
how many minutes it relates to.

Can anyone help please ?

Cheers
Steve
