When designing buildings, the materials used in the construction of the building, in case of a fire, within the time required by the legal regulations of the structure to bear the necessary load and the building must be used in a way to ensure the spread of fire and smoke. Different elements of the structure can play various roles during a fire.
In particular, the doors must be capable of moving away from the space for a certain period of time when the fire starts and preventing the development of the space in which the fire starts. In this way, fire and smoke will not be emitted during the fire, heat dissipation will be limited, people will be allowed to evacuate quickly and rescue team activities will be facilitated. Doors with the appropriate fire resistance class can meet such requirements.
There are different requirements regarding the fire resistance of the doors. These requirements differ depending on the intended use of the building, for example hospital, hotel, office buildings and housing. They are also different depending on how the doors are used (eg basement, boiler room, garage and roof doors).
There are three different types of door designs in the sector: metal doors with metal frames, wooden doors with metal frames and wooden doors with wooden frames. The most risky doors against a fire hazard are doors made of wood-based materials.
Here are a few standards that are based on door fire resistance tests performed by the competent authorities:
TS EN 1634-1 Fire resistance and smoke control tests for doors and rolling shutters, windows and elements of building hardware - Part 1: Fire resistance test for doors and rolling shutters and opening windows
TS EN 13501 Building products and building elements, fire classification
TS EN 16034 Pedestrian door sets, industrial, commercial, garage doors and opening windows - Product standard, performance and characteristics - Fire resistance and / or smoke control features
TS EN ISO 11925 Reaction to fire tests - Flammability of products directly exposed to flame
The application is received, the contract and then the product, vehicle and vehicles for which, what kind of service is determined exactly.
The necessary laboratory environment is prepared and the products, tools and instruments requested by the organization are tested by experts with the reference of the existing standards and measurements are made.
The data obtained as a result of meticulously completed tests, measurements and analyzes are evaluated and accredited approved reports are submitted by expert engineers.
