What is the expected service life of PROMAT Masterboard®?

Etex Building Performance Limited's passive fire protection products and associated components, when supplied by our Company and designed and installed in accordance with the conditions and procedures in the Promat Fire Protection Handbook, Promat technical literature, specification documents, associated CAD drawings and any specific technical recommendations including Promat Project Packs (where applicable), shall be durable and free from defects due to faulty manufacturing or factory workmanship.

We would recommend that PROMAT Masterboard® should be installed by a 3rd party accredited fire protection contractor, certified as competent to install products in the specific fire protection application.

The assumed intended working life of PROMAT Masterboard® is 25 years but will be dependent on the application and the prevailing environment in which the products are installed (as per the definitions below from the PROMAT Masterboard® ETA 09/0250).

Internal use (EAD 350142-00-1106, type Z2)

Internal use high humidity (EAD 350142-00-1106, type Z1)

External use semi exposed (EAD 350142-00-1106, type Y)

Planned maintenance

Annual documented inspections should be carried out as part of the normal maintenance plan for the building and any damaged boards should be replaced and fixed in the same way as in the original specification.

NOTE: THIS IS A STATEMENT ON THE INTENDED WORKING LIFE OF PROMAT Masterboard® IT IS NOT A WARRANTY.
