Fire-rated duct system FSC02 checks

  • CoC, appendix and issue number
  • Project DoC
  • Duct type: board duct or protected steel duct
  • Fire-resistance period and exposure (inside/outside)
  • Maximum duct dimensions and orientation
  • Hanger and support spacing
  • Joints, stiffeners and access doors
  • Wall and floor penetration sealing

Data centres, hospitals and mixed-use developments commonly have extensive fire-rated ductwork. Fire dampers are separately certified with labels — see the CoC and DoC review table. Penetrations are covered under fire stopping FSC02.

  2. Valid CoC — current, not withdrawn, suspended, terminated or superseded, verified in the Certification Body’s directory.
  3. Exact match to the CoC — brand, model, composition, thickness, configuration and manufacturer match the CoC and appendix.
  4. Representation of compliance — the DoC, serial label or certified mark required for that product is present and traceable.
  5. Correct installation — installed in accordance with the certified system and the approved fire safety design.

Frequently asked questions

Does a fire-rated duct system require a DoC?

Yes. A fire-rated duct system (Table 11A item 9) requires a valid CoC and DoC. The QP checks the duct construction, size limits, orientation, hangers and supports, penetration sealing and access panels against the certified system.

Can a product be used if its CoC model differs from the installed model?

Generally no. The installed product must match the CoC exactly — brand, model, composition, thickness, density, configuration and manufacturer. A different model, revised build-up or alternative manufacturer needs its own CoC coverage, or a revised CoC issued by the Certification Body. The QP cannot extend a CoC’s scope by professional judgement. See CoC and DoC review.

Can a contractor substitute a different fire-rated product during construction?

Only with care. A substitute must be a regulated product with its own valid CoC covering the exact model and configuration, the required DoC or labels, and it must suit the approved fire safety design. Changes to tested assemblies, supporting structure or penetration details may require design review. PE Consultants provides product substitution review before the change is made.
