2nd floor flat non-fire rated downlight

[bro8284]

Hi Guys,

Just after a bit of advice,
Just done a EICR of a second floor flat nothing major to report just a few C3's
But...
What i was wondering there a few downlight's (Gu10) in the property Kitchen/Living room all of them Non- fire rated do they need to be fire rated as its in black of flats? i would say yes but don't want to say to the landlord and give him the wrong info.

there is a flat above and what i believe is a concrete floor/Celing between the flats, does the concrete act as the fire barrier?

thanks for your help in advance

sounds like the ceiling isn't fire rated so the down lights don't have to be .

If it is concrete this creates a fire compartment.

If there is a concrete floor slab between flats, I would expect that to form the boundary of the fire compartment. Any light fitted into plasterboard below wouldn't have to be fire rated.

Beaten to it by westward.
