Do you know how often your fire doors need to be inspected?
Fire rated doors compartmentalize building areas to isolate fire incidents and provide security and access control in wall openings that do not require egress. These solutions are labeled passive fire protection and can save lives and prevent property damage during a fire.
You also might know fire-rated doors must be inspected annually as mandated by the NFPA’s (National Fire Protection Association) Publication 80. The mandate includes an annual fire door assessment and a drop test. NFPA 80 addresses the installing, testing, modifying or repairing of opening protectives, including fire rated rolling doors. NFPA 80 has three elements to ensure fire doors are inspected and evaluated for operation and during drop testing and must be performed by a qualified professional. If the fire rated door fails any one of the three categories mandated in NFPA, it fails the entire test and can no longer be in use.
VISUAL INSPECTION
During the evaluation, the fire door is first inspected for damage. This can include missing or broken parts along with visible damage or marks. Any conditions that could result in the door not operating correctly are noted. The door should also have clearly visible labels. The evaluator will ask that any painted or coated cables or fusible links to be replaced. A door that doesn’t pass the visual inspection will fail.
OPERATIONAL TESTING
Next, the operation of the door is tested. The door will be cycled through its opening and closing cycles as in its daily, typical operation. If the operation is affected because the door is not balanced correctly or doesn’t close properly, the door will fail. Before the final step of drop testing, all damages and defects to the door must be addressed. This includes replacing missing parts and any repairs needed to get the fire door back to tip-top shape.
DROP TESTING
Finally, the drop test confirms the door will close automatically and without issue during a fire. The door manufacturer typically provides recommendations for the fire door drop test and includes all types of door activation to be used during the test. The door must be dropped and reset entirely at least twice per NFPA 80 section 5.2.3.7.3.1 to evaluate if the door is working correctly. After the second drop test, the door can be reset to its typical real-life use. The technician will also measure the closing door speed, with the average closing speed needing to be between 6 inches and 24 inches per second.
