What we assess
Order No. 405 of 17 August 2021, issued by Kazakhstan’s Minister for Emergency Situations, approved the General Fire Safety Requirements technical regulation. Construction materials are assessed for relevant reaction-to-fire properties; structures are assessed for fire resistance and structural fire-hazard class. These are different characteristics assessed by different methods.
The current wording of paragraph 292 refers to conformity assessment rules No. 433-НҚ. The document route must be established for the particular product; a separate fire certificate cannot be assumed mandatory for every material. We also check Order No. 435 and its product lists. Fire safety and firefighting equipment within TR EAEU 043/2017 is assessed under that regulation; a national document does not replace the required EAEU document.
For wall panels or flooring, we establish composition, thickness, substrate, adhesive and installation method. Depending on use, the assessment covers combustibility, ignitability, smoke production, toxicity of combustion products or flame spread. For a structure, we review its assembly and required fire-resistance rating. PLANCK prepares documentation and coordinates testing and the conformity assessment body’s review. That body decides on certification; verified properties apply to the declared product configuration and conditions of use.
What to prepare
- Product description, intended use and installation location
- Composition, thickness, density and product variants
- Construction drawings, substrate, fasteners, adhesive and installation method
- Required fire-performance ratings or relevant design extract
- Manufacturer documents, standard and series or batch details
- Existing certificates and reports identifying the tested samples
What you receive
Where certification applies and the assessment body reaches a positive decision, the client receives the issued certificate of conformity, reports from the tests performed and an agreed description of the covered configurations. If another conformity route applies, the route and final document are agreed before work starts.
