The test described in this part of ISO 5925 determines the rate of leakage of ambient (cold) and medium
(warm) temperature smoke from one side of door and shutter assemblies to the other under the specified test
conditions. The test is applicable to door and shutter assemblies of different configurations intended for
purposes of controlling the passage of smoke in case of fire.
The acceptable leakage rates for different situations are not addressed in this part of ISO 5925, but rather are
specified by the regulations of the controlling authorities.
The principle of the test is explained briefly in Annex A.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 5925-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 92, Fire safety, Subcommittee SC 2, Fire
containment.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 5925-1:1981), which has been technically
revised.
ISO 5925 consists of the following parts, under the general title Fire tests — Smoke-control door and shutter
assemblies:

Introduction
This part of ISO 5925 has been prepared to provide a test method for determining the smoke leakage through
door and shutter assemblies. It is part of the series of International Standards dealing with fire doors, e.g.
ISO 3008.
This second edition of ISO 5925-1 combines the procedure published in the first edition and the proposed
revisions to it on medium-temperature testing. A further test procedure planned as Part 3 for high-temperature
testing is currently in abeyance. Additional requirements for the installation and use of smoke-control door and
shutter assemblies can be found in other International Standards and national regulations.

5 Test apparatus
The test apparatus consists essentially of a test chamber with an open front in which the test specimen (door
sample) is mounted to provide a sealed enclosure. The opening shall be sufficient to accommodate the door
sample with its associated and/or supporting construction. In general, an opening of 3 m × 3 m is sufficient.
A smaller apparatus is feasible if its use is restricted to normal single-leaf doors.
An air supply system shall be provided to create a pressure differential across the door sample of at least
55 Pa. Provision shall be made to heat the circulating air to the test temperature of (200 ± 20) °C and to
control the temperature within the prescribed limits. Annex B provides a general specification for a suitable
apparatus, but other designs can achieve the same objectives.

The test apparatus leakage rate, q , shall not exceed 7 m /h at ambient or medium temperature. The air
a
supply and heating systems shall be able to replace air at ambient temperature and medium temperature to
3
compensate for leakage rates through the door sample up to 55 m /h.

6 Instrumentation
6.1 Differential pressure
A suitable instrument shall be provided to measure the static differential pressure between the inside and
outside of the test chamber. The pressure head shall be mounted in the test chamber at the centre of the test
specimen (100 ± 10) mm from the inside face of the test chamber. The pressure-measuring equipment shall
be capable of measuring differential pressures with an accuracy of 5 Pa or 10 % of the measured value,
whichever is lower. Barometric pressure shall be measured to an accuracy of ±5 %.
6.2 Air temperature
For the medium-temperature test, 12 thermocouples shall be used to monitor and control the temperature
inside the test chamber. The thermocouples shall be arranged in four horizontal rows, with three
thermocouples in each row. The end thermocouples in each row shall be in line with the sides of the door
frame or jamb, and the middle thermocouple in line with the door central axis. The top row shall be 150 mm
below the edge of the free opening and the bottom row 150 mm above the sill level. The other two rows shall
be equidistant between the top and the bottom rows. The hot junctions shall be positioned (100 ± 10) mm from
the door face.
The thermocouple shall be of bare-metal type with a wire diameter of 0,5 mm, or steel-sheathed type with the
overall diameter not exceeding 1,0 mm. The temperature-measuring equipment shall be capable of measuring
temperatures up to 250 °C with an accuracy of ±5 °C.
6.3 Air flow
Suitable instrumentation shall be provided to measure the volume, V , and the temperature, T , of air supplied
t a
to the apparatus to compensate for the total leakage. The apparatus shall be able to measure leakage rates
3 3
up to at least 55 m /h with an accuracy of 1 m /h.
7 Test specimen
7.1 Number
As doors are usually of asymmetrical construction, leakage tests shall be carried out from both sides for full
evaluation. For medium-temperature tests, this will require two separate test specimens (door samples). One
specimen may be sufficient if the door is absolutely symmetrical in design, or in the special case where
information on leakage from only one side is required for limited application. The test report shall clearly
indicate the basis for the use of a single specimen.
7.2 Size
The door and shutter assembly (test specimen) shall be full size, or the largest size that can be
accommodated in the test frame to be mounted on the face of the test apparatus, normally 3 m × 3 m.
7.3 Construction
The door
