Tested products. Every shutter comes with its maker's furnace test or assessment evidence and performance declaration.
Daily-use models. Where needed, the shutter can be motorised for daily traffic and still close on alarm.

Fire shutter law in Scotland

A fire shutter only does its job if it closes when needed. Under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, the dutyholder 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 Stornoway, the enforcing authority is the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service.

Planning the work around your site
