A barrier 1 for providing isolation between two internal volumes within an aircraft, comprises: a wall section 3 adapted for location within an aircraft, the wall section 3 having an aperture 6 formed therein; mounting means located on the wall section proximate the aperture; and a substantially planar burst panel member 7 having first and second opposingly-facing sides, the burst panel member 7 adapted for location within the mounting means and dimensioned so as to overlie the aperture 6 when received by the mounting means; the burst panel member 7 comprising a line of weakness provided therein, adapted such that, in use, exposure of the burst panel member 7 to an atmospheric pressure differential between air volumes respectively adjacent the first and second sides exceeding a predetermined value causes the burst panel member to rupture along said line of weakness. The burst panel member 7 may be adapted to burst at differing pressure differentials depending on which side is exposed to the higher pressure. Plural panel members 7 may be provided, having a range of differing burst pressure differential values.
