Example 2:
A door which requires a stability of 30
minutes, integrity of 20 minutes and nil
insulation would be described as a FR 30/20
door. Note that no number is used to
describe the last criterion if it has a zero
requirement.
(Commonly known as a half-hour fire
check door)

(4) Doors
One
method
for
describing
the
performance of fire doors is to define two
types of door: the fire-resisting door, and
the smoke control door.
The performance of the fire-resisting door
can be assessed by the BS476 furnace, but
there is no standard method for testing
smoke control doors.
The International Standards Organisation
(ISO) is considering to develop tests for
assessing such doors.
