What should you know about fire codes? Passport for a fire door Passport for fire door ei 60

No one will deny that peace, stability and comfort are what people have strived to achieve at all times. Sometimes all this is achieved at the cost of great effort. But just one spark from a lit match or a short-circuited wire can ruin everything and bring a lot of problems and grief. Of course, no one is immune from accidents, but installing a fire-resistant door block minimizes the spread of fire. For greater security, special locks are installed for fire doors.

The modern market of fireproof structures is presented in a huge assortment. It is not difficult to find a suitable option that will perfectly harmonize with the interior and have high technical characteristics (this is evidenced by a certificate for fire doors).

Fire doors retain their properties even when exposed to extreme temperatures. The certificate for fire doors contains information about how long a given model can resist direct exposure to fire.

According to current standards, all fire-fighting structures are conventionally divided into several groups based on the time of exposure to fire:

  1. EI15 - up to 15 minutes;
  2. EI30 - about 30 minutes;
  3. EI45 - 45 minutes;
  4. EI60 - hour;
  5. EI120 - 2 hours;
  6. EI150 - 2.5 hours;
  7. EI180 - 3 hours;
  8. EI240 - 4 hours;
  9. EI360 - 6 hours.

However, as practice shows, even the most resistant door systems can withstand the onslaught of fire for no more than 2 hours.

The fact is that the temperature of a burning room reaches 1200 degrees: on average, a living room burns out in 15-20 minutes, and an office space burns a little longer (this is explained by the fact that there is a lot of furniture and office equipment here). Experts recommend choosing designs whose fire resistance is at least 30 minutes (the passport for this door contains the designation EI30).

Technical characteristics of quality fire doors

In addition, high-quality fireproof construction has the following features:

  1. Sealed.
    Such a door does not allow flames to pass through, protecting the adjacent room from fire, and traps harmful substances released into the air when various objects burn.
  2. Thermally insulated.
    This design does not transfer heat.
  3. Durable.
    This door system retains its shape and strength when exposed to high temperatures.

Compliance with these requirements is a guarantee that the purchased fire-resistant product will provide reliable protection.

Classification of fire door systems

In general, the fire-resistant design is very similar to a “layer cake”, which has several layers: upper and inner. The top layer is a flame-retardant coating made of aluminum, sheet steel, fire-resistant paint or veneer, “set” with non-flammable glue.

The internal layers of fire-fighting structures can be varied: mineral or basalt wool, anti-smoke gaskets and other thermal material treated with special impregnation are used here.

The marking of fire doors (the passport introduces this information) draws the attention of potential buyers to the material used to manufacture a specific model of fire-resistant structure. In other words, it contains information about what the top and inner layers are in this door frame.

Fire door certification takes into account the fact that fire-resistant structures can be made of wood, metal and even heat-resistant glass. They can be made in a classic style or have an original design.

According to current standards, the sizes of fire doors can be very different: single-leaf or double-leaf, standard or non-standard. In the latter case, products are made to order.

To ensure that the design meets safety requirements, its dimensions must be optimal.

The maximum permissible width of a single-strip structure is 110 cm, and the height is 241.5 cm. At the same time, the technical conditions also determine the minimum permissible dimensions of a fire-resistant single-leaf door system: the width of the leaf must be at least 66 cm, and the height - 147 cm.

Moreover, the technical conditions also regulate the parameters of double-leaf structures:

  • the minimum width is 98 cm, height – 154 cm;
  • the maximum width should be no more than 190 cm, and the height should be 253 cm.

As for the weight of the structure, it is also regulated by safety standards: weight can vary from 35 kg to 100 kg. And to meet fire safety requirements, the canvas and the box must be made of high-quality material.

Fittings for fire-resistant structures

To comply with all safety standards, the door structure must be equipped with a special mechanism - “Anti-panic”. The Anti-panic lock guarantees quick and easy opening of the structure during evacuation in the event of an emergency.

The “Anti-panic” locking device is unique in that it is locked from the outside like a regular lock, but opens from the inside without a key. In general, “Anti-panic” locks are designed so that they can be easily opened by small children, disabled people and the elderly. At the same time, “Anti-panic” locks serve as reliable protection of the premises from unauthorized entry.

Fittings for fire-fighting structures are made of a refractory alloy; for example, one of the components of this composition may be molybdenum. Another condition: the length of the door handle and the width of the door must be identical (such correspondences are regulated by technical safety conditions). In addition, the fire doors are equipped with a door closer that regulates the speed at which the door closes.

To make sure that the fire-resistant product you are purchasing is of high quality, you need to carefully study the passport of the door system, which contains all its technical characteristics. If you wish, you can also consult with specialists who will help you choose the most reliable fire protection structure.

A certificate for a fire door has been a mandatory operational document since 2006, based on GOST 2.601-2006. Until this moment, PD certification was not mandatory.

According to GOST, a passport for a product is drawn up when there is no need to enter additional information about its operation and/or confirmation of such information (repair, maintenance, etc.).

Fire doors are precisely products of this type, therefore, in the vast majority of cases, only a passport is required for the PD.

Although PD manufacturers, if necessary, can use other mandatory operational documents, such as:

  • Form – compiled when it is necessary to enter additional information about the operation of the product, repairs and/or data on maintenance;
  • Label - compiled for products for which the operating data does not exceed six main points, and when there is no need (or technically impossible) to enter additional information about the operation;
  • List of operational documents - compiled when a set of documents for a product includes more than two separate (independent) operational documents.

It is important to remember that, depending on the purpose of certain structures, conditions of use and the amount of data necessary for their correct operation, it is mandatory to draw up either a passport, a form, or a label, or one of these documents is included in a combined operational document.

Any fire gate must first of all satisfy the basic requirement of withstanding the impact of flame for a strictly limited period of time. The result is achieved by the peculiarity that in their manufacture they use thermally insulating materials that have reduced heat transfer. It is also necessary to completely seal the gate system in order to stop the poisoning of other rooms.

Fire-resistant double-leaf gates received the most efficient system, only this factor helped make the product truly affordable among all fire-resistant systems. The doors of such structures are in reliable contact, so in the event of a strong fire, smoke penetration into the structure is excluded. Special insulation is also often used; when warmed up slightly, it begins to increase, thus pressing the sashes against each other. Although the gate system is elementary, the main reliability factors remain at a high level.

Hanging-type structures have a canvas, it is equipped with horizontal and vertical rollers. Their number absolutely depends on the total length of the gate. Mineral seals, which are attached along the entire perimeter, are glued to prevent them from falling. As a rule, such a fabric is two-layered and has the required width; this system will withstand the flame for 1 hour. The peculiarity of the gate is that when opening there is no need to allocate additional space. The door slides along special slats attached along the contour of the garage where the gate is located.

Fireproof roll-type structures and lifting ones are characterized by a kind of roll, often made of plastic and metal. This sleeve includes wooden linings, they are impregnated with a special composition, it does not allow the fire to flare up. A special composition is placed between such a roll and the iron; it does not catch fire, and also has reduced heat transfer.

This duo does not burn at all in the event of a fire and remains cool. This gate will resist fire for about 60 minutes. The advantage of such structures lies in the property of PVC - it is not at all afraid of rust. If the filler for production is metal, that is, special steel, it must be indifferent to increased load, and also not deform when heated. The difference between panel and roll structures is only in the opening of the canvas; in other words, after opening the gate, the roll version is rolled up when the sectional ones are lifted and positioned along the length of the ceiling.

In addition, the fire-resistant component is the contour, which goes around the edge of the opening. Often the contour is made from exactly the same material as the canvas itself; it has received a special “component” that helps to completely seal off the room. If a fire occurs, the penetration of toxins into the garage is practically impossible.

All fireproof structures can simply be upgraded. For this purpose, sensors are attached; they determine the temperature of the room, as well as the occurrence of smoke. In addition, if the sensor senses an increase in a certain threshold value, then specialized electric drives start and automatically seal or open the doors. These systems effectively increase the fire safety of the existing structure as a whole and, in principle, reliably stop the source of fire.
