REQUIREMENTS To ensure these materials fulfil their function:– a) The material used must be identical to a prototype or sample of that material that has been submitted to and passed the appropriate fire test, as referred to in AS 1530.4 or b) The material used is listed in Table 1 of Specification A2.3 of the <strong>Building</strong> Code of Australia; and c) The material is applied or constructed in accordance with that Standard or that specification.

The owner may delegate this function to another person or body where necessary or appropriate. <strong>Maintenance</strong> checks are also recommended after maintenance work that may have damaged or removed a section of material. These checks should be carried out visually, with further investigation of any suspect areas.

Smoke doors can be of one or two leaves and must:– a) Be side-hung to swing:– i. in the direction of egress or ii. in both directions; and b) Be capable of resisting smoke at 200°C for 30 minutes; and c) have the leaves fitted with smoke seals; and a. have the leaves:– i. normally closed or ii. close automatically, with the closing initiated by smoke detectors or power failure; and b. have the leaves close fully after each manual opening; and c. If made of glass, have the glazing identifiable by opaque construction. MAINTENANCE CHECKS It is recommended that the relevant building surveyor require that a fire door be maintained and inspected in accordance with AS 1851-2005 Section 17. The standard specifies the following maintenance intervals:– • • • Three-monthly Six-monthly Yearly The owner may delegate the maintenance function to another person or body where necessary or appropriate. To ensure smoke doors fulfil their designed function, check that:– a) The doors and associated equipment are in working order (seals undamaged, etc.). b) No unauthorised means have been incorporated to retain the doors open (wedges, cabin hooks, etc.). c) The automatic closing facilities work, i.e.:– i. when the smoke detectors operate, or ii. when power failure occurs. BCA Specification: C2.5, D2.6 These checks may be carried out in conjunction with the testing of the fire alarm system, in accordance with AS 1851-2005.
