A fireproof, bi-directional decompression panel includes a frame member and a pressure relief panel member that is releasably retained to the frame member to removably cover a decompression vent opening of an aircraft partition, such as a sidewall of an aircraft cargo compartment. The frame member includes opposed first and second side edges and first and second radially outer flanges extending radially outwardly from the first and second edges, respectively. A plurality of spring clips are secured to the second radially outer flange biased to releasable secure the pressure relief panel member to the second radially outer flange of the frame member. During a decompression event, the pressure relief panel member is released bi-directionally in either of two opposing directions from the frame member when a predetermined pressure differential exists across the partition. The decompression panel has reduced weight and fewer parts than prior conventional decompression panel assemblies.
