ACP fire ratings under EN 13501-1 classification include: Standard LDPE core (Class E — combustible), FR B1 mineral core (Class B-s1,d0 — limited combustibility), and FR A2+ ACCP aluminium corrugated core (Class A2-s1,d0 — non-combustible). NBC 2016 mandates minimum FR B1 for commercial buildings and FR A2+ for buildings above 15 meters. VIVA offers all three grades.
| Grade | Core Type | Fire Class | NBC Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | LDPE (polyethylene) | Class E | Low-rise, non-critical |
| FR B1 | Mineral filled | B-s1,d0 | Commercial under 15m |
| FR A2+ | Aluminium corrugated (ACCP) | A2-s1,d0 | Above 15m, hospitals, airports |
The NBC 2016 and subsequent fire safety circulars mandate: buildings above 15 meters must use Class A2 or better rated facade material. This effectively requires FR A2+ ACCP for all high-rise construction in India. VIVA's FR A2+ ACCP is the first Thomas Bell-Wright (Dubai) certified panel manufactured in India.
VIVA's fire-rated panels are tested at internationally accredited laboratories including Thomas Bell-Wright (UAE), CSTB (France), and BRE (UK). Certificates are available for download from vivaacp.com.
FR A2 ACP uses aluminium corrugated core (ACCP) and is classified as non-combustible (A2-s1,d0). FR B1 uses mineral-filled core and is classified as limited combustibility (B-s1,d0). FR A2 is mandatory for buildings above 15m per NBC 2016, while FR B1 is acceptable for buildings under 15m. FR A2 costs 40-50% more than FR B1. VIVA manufactures both grades.
