Pyroplex® CE Marked 200 Series Pipe Collar has been specifically designed to prevent the passage of fire and hot gases through:Īll measurements are shown in millimetres. Pyroplex® Pipe Collars are compliant with the requirements given in CERTIFIRE TS03. Pyroplex® CE Marked 200 Series Pipe Collar is tested to BS 476: Part 20 and BS EN 1366-3 and has a European classification in accordance with BS EN 13501-2. They are suitable for use on concrete and masonry partitions. They will seal closed flammable pipes from 55mm to 160mm diameter and can be face fixed to a wall or ceiling structure. Pyroplex® CE Marked 200 Series Pipe Collars have been specifically designed to re-instate the fire resistance of a wall or floor which has been penetrated by plastic flammable pipes used in soil, waste and drainage services. We have put together a guide and a video to show how we ensure that all candidates taking our exams receive fair and accurate results.Application: Service penetrations – Plastic SWD systems Fire Resistance Period: 120 minutes Insulation/integrity: Insulation and integrity Test Standard: BS 476: Part 20 and BS EN 1366-3 Approval Type: Certifire CF635 / CE Mark 1121-CPR-JA5002/ETA 15/0136 For AS Level components, small adjustments may be made to the marks awarded for some versions of the paper, and to the component thresholds, in order to neutralise any differences in the difficulty of the versions taken in different countries, and so make sure that all candidates face an equal demand.Īssigning grades to candidates' work is a complex process.The A* threshold at option level is calculated looking at the position of the A and B thresholds as a starting point. Grade A* does not exist as a component grade.A small reduction to the grade threshold may be made at the higher grades to allow for the fact that a candidate may not be required to achieve a particular grade on every component in order to achieve that grade at syllabus level. The sum of the threshold marks for each paper takes into account the contribution that each paper makes to the syllabus. Once we have set the grade thresholds for each paper, we add them together to produce grade thresholds for the syllabus (or syllabus option for syllabuses with more than one route of assessment).We may have to apply a weighting factor to the thresholds before we add them together in order to match what it says in the syllabus about the weight that we give to each paper.

In the simplest cases, we can just add up the component thresholds to get the option threshold. An option is a permitted combination of papers or other components that make up the overall qualification. The table also shows the thresholds used for the options available.

The table in the grade threshold document shows the thresholds taken in a particular examination series for each paper or other component that we marked (so not for teacher-marked components, for example).

#Marked series how to
How to interpret our grade threshold tables This is to be fair to candidates from one series to another. To fulfil that aim we have to lower the thresholds from one examination to another if we find that the questions in a paper have been more difficult than last time (or raise the thresholds if we find the questions have been easier). The aim in each year (or examination series) is to set each threshold in just the right place to ensure that it is no more difficult and no less difficult to obtain that grade than it was in the previous year. These thresholds are decided after each examination has been taken and marked. How do we set grade thresholds?Ī grade threshold is the minimum number of marks that a candidate needs to obtain a particular grade in a paper or in a subject. Before reading the grade threshold document, there is some important information you need to know about how we set the thresholds. A grade threshold is the minimum number of marks that a candidate needs to obtain a particular grade in a paper or in a subject.

We publish grade thresholds after each exam series.
