What to specify
- Records. You receive records of the installation, commissioning and first drop test for your files.
- Warning devices. Audible and visual warnings let people know the shutter is about to close.
- Alarm interface. We agree the cause-and-effect with your alarm contractor and prove the release at commissioning.
- Battery back-up. Batteries keep the closing sequence under control even if mains power is lost.
- Tested products. Shutters supplied with the manufacturer's fire test evidence and Declaration of Performance.
What this work can involve
- Fitting a 120-minute fire shutter to a conveyor opening between production and storage compartments, released by the fire alarm.
- Fire-stopping the head and jambs of a replacement shutter exactly to the manufacturer's installation details.
- Supplying a fire shutter to a fire engineer's specification on a new-build unit, timed to the main contractor's programme.
Fire safety duties for shutters in Bath
In England, fire shutters are part of the fire precautions the responsible person must keep maintained under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: in efficient working order and in good repair. Testing at suitable intervals and keeping the results is expected good practice and supports your fire risk assessment. Enforcement in Bath is by the local fire and rescue authority.
Access, phasing and timing
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
