Berapa kerap siling berkadar kebakaran harus diperiksa atau diselenggara?

Regular inspection ensures that fire-rated ceilings remain effective over their service life. At least once per year, a qualified fire-protection professional should inspect: perimeter sealants for cracks or detachment; intumescent strips for physical damage; suspension clips and fusible links for corrosion or tampering; insulation integrity behind removable panels; and fire-rated collars around penetrations. Any gaps wider than specified tolerances (often >3 mm) or degraded materials must be repaired using manufacturer-approved sealants and replacement parts. After maintenance or tenant alterations—such as new lighting or speaker installations—re-verification of seal continuity and clip settings is essential. Documentation of inspections and repairs supports compliance with building codes and insurance requirements. Routine maintenance preserves the ceiling’s ability to compartmentalize fire and smoke.
