EICR Classification Code for downlights that are not fire rated

[DPG]

On a side note, never seen a fire rated ceiling speaker, have seen many of those installed lately, must be at least a 200mm hole in the plasterboard

are the audio/visual guys fitting speaker sized fire hoods nowadays?

Yes they are. Daz

My bedroom door, when left open, provides an even bigger break in the fire resistant wall it's installed in.

However I don't understand anyone fitting non fire rated downlight nowadays, when even the most expensive ones are a few pounds. I wouldn't fit the open can tuppeny happeny tack sold by DIY stores. You're right about the speakers and what about ceiling extractor fans, you can get intumescent collars for them

OP mentioned a large dwelling house; Approved document B defines such as a residential accommodation occupied.... b) by not more than 6 people, living together as a single household. Not suggesting he should rip out existing luminaires, just as a discussion point for the original installation.

Hoods are available for speakers and should be fitted if required, just the same as down lighters. Daz
