What to specify
- Certified install. Fitted strictly to the manufacturer's specification for fixings, wall type and fire-stopping.
- Warning devices. Audible and visual warnings let people know the shutter is about to close.
- Fail-safe closing. If the alarm sounds or the power goes, the shutter drops at a governed speed and closes the opening.
- Daily-use models. Motorised fire shutters that also work as everyday doors.
- Records. Commissioning and drop test records handed over for the fire safety file.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting battery back-up, a beacon and a sounder to a new fire shutter on a service corridor.
- Building up a blockwork wall to the tested construction before fitting a new compartment fire shutter.
- Installing a motorised fire shutter that also serves as the daily goods door between two warehouse compartments.
Fire shutter law in England
A fire shutter only does its job if it closes when needed. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must keep fire safety equipment maintained in efficient working order, and keeping test records is the usual way to show it. Shutters must also stay as the manufacturer tested and certified them, so repairs should use the right parts. In Torquay, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.
