- NEW PAS121 – This is not a standard or test but a series of recommendations, currently adopted by the London Boroughs of Westminster and The Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea (this is shortly to be surpassed by a new British Standard – BS8524 Part 1). It references the above tests which we are pleased to confirm that our Elite EFC240 Fire Curtain is fully compliant and carries the full criteria of the PAS121 as certified by Warrington Fire.
