Introduction
Fire resisting doorsets and openable windows are required to provide adequate protection to openings in fire
resisting walls or partitions which are formed as doorways for the passage of people, goods or vehicles. Smoke
control characteristics may be added to fire resisting doorsets or may be required as a sole characteristic for smoke
control doorsets to provide smoke leakage protection to doorways in walls or partitions which are not required to be
fire resisting.
Fire resisting doorsets and openable windows and smoke control doorsets can only provide their designed fire
resistance or smoke control capability when they are in the closed position.
This European Standard identifies the requirements and methods of conformity necessary to demonstrate that a
measured fire resistance or smoke control capability can be assumed to cover their designed working life. To that
end, this document identifies operational requirements and test/inspection methods which are intended to
demonstrate durability of self closing and operational capabilities combined with fire resistance and/or smoke
control.
In order to ensure continued performance of the characteristics, there is a need for routine inspection and
maintenance. See normative Annex C.
