Product Information

A Certifire certificate details the suitability of a product in terms of door types by collating all fire test evidence for a product and defining suitability for use on timber fire doors (ITT), metal fire doors (IMM/MM) and timber fire doors with metal frames (ITM). In the Create Shortcut wizard, type devmgmt.msc in the text field available for Type the location of the item section Different groups of users will have differing requirements to enable them to make an effective escape and this has to be reflected in the type of device chosen. For example, in buildings frequented by the general public it is important that doors can be released easily by people who might have no training in emergency procedures or the use of the exit device, and might therefore panic in the rush to escape.

Mechanical performance of a product is just as important as the fire performance. Using a CE-marked door closer ensures satisfactory mechanical performance. A door closer that is CE marked shows the product is mechanically sound to perform the function of closing a fire door and that it has been subjected to a fire test.

This document states that a self-closing door is one “which is capable of closing the door from any angle and against any latch fitted to the door”. Other buildings might be occupied predominantly by authorised personnel, who have been trained specifically in the procedures for escape, and who are therefore unlikely to panic in the case of an emergency.

Doors often feature “push pads”, but these should never be used where members of the public or people unfamiliar with the building are present. These products are only suitable in trained staff situations with fewer than 60 people and should be CE marked to BS EN 179. If ease of access is not considered with manual fire doors, doors may be wedged, giving rise to the potential for a fire risk. Alternatively, you can also use the Search box or Find a setting box of the Settings app to access the Device Manager window. 9] Open Device Manager using the Task Manager Free-swing door closers are able to hold fire doors open in any position desired and allow the users to handle the door as if no door closer was fitted. They are usually fitted at the top of the fire door and exert no force on a door leaf during normal operation. They may include internal acoustic sensors to detect the sound of smoke alarms or can be linked to the fire alarm system. When activated by either the smoke alarm or fire alarm system, or in the event of power failure, the fire door closer element of the free-swing door closer activates and shuts the fire door in the same way as a normal closer. These devices are especially helpful for people with reduced mobility (nursing homes etc). Free-swing door closers are either powered with an electric cable coming from the fire alarm system or are battery operated. Two models are the Freedor and the Agrippa free-swing door closer. Wherever possible the fixing of a letter plate to a fire-resisting door should be avoided. Prime consideration should be given to installing the letter plate elsewhere. Both free standing and wall mounted postal boxes are available as an alternative.The door coordinator device and its accessories should be CE Marked to BS EN 1158: 1997 – ‘Building hardware – Door coordinator devices’ or, preferably, should be provided with additional product certification by an approved third-party certification body.
