PPG recently hosted "Is Your Specified Fireproofing Ready to Meet the UL 1709 Changes?," a free educational seminar that addressed the new UL standard in passive fire protection (PFP). Richard Holliday, PPG global director, PFP , and Juan Pablo Leon, PPG manager, PFP Americas, were joined by other industry experts and examined revisions to UL 1709, as well as fire hazards, recent fire-related incidents, and guidelines for proper design and specification of fireproofing.
"UL 1709 5th Edition represents some of the biggest changes in the market," said Leon. "It's vital for oil, gas and petrochemical facilities and EPC firms to thoroughly understand these changes and learn the best solutions to meet these new requirements."
