This British Standard gives recommendations for the specification,
installation and maintenance of fire doors. The recommendations are
applicable only to hinged or pivoted pedestrian doorsets, door
assemblies, or door leaves of any material, fitted into frames of any
material.
This British Standard is applicable only to doors that are designed to
provide fire resistance ratings of up to and including 2 h when tested in
accordance with BS 476-22 or BS EN 1634-1.
This British Standard is applicable only to the fire performance of the
doors and doorsets. It does not cover security, ergonomic factors,
functional performance other than with respect to fire resistance, or
safety of glazing.
