Q & A / Re: Compartmentation

We had a fire stopping contractor visit the site to price things up for remediation and he brought along some sort of fire stopping expert to advise on the fire stopping requirements.
When looking in one of the cupboards inside one of the flats he made a comment on the plastic access hatch to access the hidden sewer vent pipe (SVP) and said they need to me metal. He made no comment on the plastic electrical distribution box in the same cupboard. The hatch is located in a fire rated cupboard with FD30S doors fitted.
Is he correct in stating the access hatch needs to be metal instead of plastic? I have attached photo so can see what I am referring to.
