These are real pages from the book. The table of contents is the full one: 8 parts and 61 topics.
You're on a riser landing. Pipes and cables come through a 60-minute wall, and you have to decide what goes in each gap, and how you'll prove it.
The manual spreads it over pages of clauses: the service in one chapter, the wall rating in another, evidence and records somewhere near the back. Nothing tells you which comes first.
In this book it's one page: five steps, drawn in order. What service crosses, what the wall or floor is rated, which tested product fits, what evidence covers it, and how you record it.
Pipe ends, head of wall, cavity barriers, FD30S and section factor each get their own page too.
You read every penetration in the same order, and you can explain it to the inspector without opening the manual.
How fire spreads, fire tests and classifications, the rules in England, fire stopping, joints and cavities, fire doors, steel protection and evidence on site: 65 pages, all illustrated.
Think of it this way:
You're walking a compartmentation survey and find a plastic waste pipe and a copper pipe through the same 60-minute wall. You have to say what's wrong with each and write it down.
You open the book at plastic pipes and see the pipe drawn in the fire: the plastic softens, the collar expands and closes the hole. Turn the page and the copper pipe is carrying the heat straight through.
The same goes for pipe ends, head of wall, cavity barriers, fire door gaps and section factor: each one on its own page.
Passive Fire Protection Illustrated is 65 illustrated pages in 8 parts, one topic per page, ending with a revision sheet of the whole detail sequence and a page on how the IFE Level 3 exam works.
What you see drawn, you don't have to memorize.
Active vs passive protection, how fire and smoke travel, heat transfer, compartments as boxes, evacuation strategies and what changed after Grenfell.
The furnace test, integrity, insulation and load-bearing, how each one fails, reading EI 60 or REI 120, pipe end configurations, BS 476 vs BS EN and reaction to fire.
How Approved Document B is organised, purpose groups and height, minimum periods, compartment walls and floors, protected shafts, the Fire Safety Order, the 2021 Act, the 2022 Regulations and the Building Safety Act.
Every penetration in the same order, plastic and metal pipes, collars and wraps, cables, batts, mastics, mixed openings, floors vs walls and drylining.
Linear joint seals, head of wall and deflection, what fire-rated foam can and can't do, cavity barriers and where they go, rainscreen façades and keeping the wall system intact.
The doorset as a system, FD30 to E30Sa, the 3 mm gap, intumescent strips and smoke seals, ironmongery, glazing and signage, fitting the frame and inspecting a door in order.
Why steel needs protecting, section factor Hp/A, boards, sprays and intumescent coatings, DFT and inspection, fire and smoke dampers, ductwork and risers.
Test report vs classification vs assessment, field of application, third-party certification, recording, walking a survey, remediation, the final revision sheet and how the IFE Level 3 works.
At the end of the book: The whole detail sequence on one revision sheet and a page on how the IFE Level 3 exam works.
Practise with exam-style questions on every topic, each with the answer and the page to go back to, so you know where you stand before exam day.
See the most frequent installation and survey errors drawn before and after, so you can spot them on site and avoid them in your own work.

Yes. It doesn't explain how to hold a mastic gun. It explains why each detail is done the way it is, then takes you through classifications, the rules in England, evidence and records.
Approved Document B (England), the Building Regulations 2010, the Building Safety Act 2022, the Fire Safety Order, the Fire Safety Act 2021, the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, BS EN 13501, BS EN 1366, BS 476, BS 8214 and the IFE Level 3 syllabus. The part on the rules follows England. If you work in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, the fire tests, classifications and site details are the same, but check your own building guidance for periods and duties. Every standard number and value is flagged so you can check it against the official current version.
No. It's independent study material, not published or endorsed by the IFE, the ASFP, BSI or the government. It doesn't give you a certificate or CPD points: the IFE Level 3 only comes from sitting the IFE exam.
No. It helps you revise and understand. It doesn't replace accredited training, the manufacturer's installation instructions or the test evidence for each product.
