FIRE DOOR REGULATIONS
Regulations require the installation of fire doors at specific locations within a building to evacuate people from inside the building. As with any fire protection system, fire-rated doors are required to be listed and labeled through independent laboratories such as Underwriters Laboratories Inc. or Intertek. Each listing certifies the degree of fire protection provided by the door, frame, hardware, glazing and component part for a given length of time,
Fire-rated door assemblies are required to adhere to the standards outlined in relevant building or life safety codes, such as the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 80 - Standard for Fire Doors and Other Opening Protectives, NFPA 101 - Life Safety Code, as well as the International Building Code (IBC) and International Fire Code (IFC) and need to be tested in accordance with the following standards, UL 10B - Fire Tests of Door Assemblies (neutral or negative pressure), UL 10C: Positive Fire Pressure Tests of Door Assemblies, NFPA 252 - Standard Methods of Fire Tests of Door Assemblies.
