Fire tests — Evaluation of performance of smoke control door assemblies — Part 1: Ambient temperature test

Includes a method for assessing the performance of door and shutter assemblies intended to act as barriers to smoke in a fire. The severity of heat exposure conditions governs the smoke control performance of doors and this has led to the preparation of a series of test methods.
