Despite AFP systems typically drawing more attention, New Zealand’s fire safety standards increasingly prioritise a balanced, integrated approach – combining PFP and AFP to deliver robust, comprehensive fire protection solutions. By combining PFP with these active systems and safety measures, commercial building managers can ensure a comprehensive fire protection strategy, maximizing safety for occupants, property, and emergency responders alike.

Complementary systems for maximum safety.
In New Zealand, passive fire protection (PFP) is as integral to building safety as active fire protection (AFP), particularly in meeting the requirements of the New Zealand Building Code (NZBC) and safety regulations. While often less visible, PFP is a critical mandated component in construction and renovation projects.
