FD30, FD60, FD90 and FD120 certified fire doors. Fire doors are also certified for smoke control FD30S, FD60S, FD90S and FD120S. To perform satisfactorily in each category, a door assembly must attain specific levels of performance. These include: • Strength – slamming, impact, torsion, deformation, closure against obstruction, resistance to jarring, abusive forces on door handle • Operation – ease of opening and closing. • Dimensional requirements – stability, no bowing or twisting. • Fire resistance – fire doorsets – general principles • Building regulations – key requirements relating to fire safety are covered in Approved Document B of the Building Regulations for England and Wales and Section 2 of The Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004. This requires fire-resisting doors either to protect escape routes or to preserve compartmentation. For ease of visibility through the door, Equality Act compliant vision panels are available. For ease of access, particularly for wheelchairs, doors are available in a range of sizes that are compliant with BS8300:2009 Section 6.4.1 When specified with ASSA ABLOY ironmongery a wide range of fully considered, integrated design solutions are available. For the visually impaired, a wide range of colours and contrasts can be offered. BS8493:2008 indicates an LRV difference of 30 points or more between adjacent critical surfaces. The LRV difference between the door furniture and the face of the door is allowable down to 15 points. The LPS 1175 test stipulates the allowable toolset and minimum time at each security rating level to prevent forcible entry through a building element. It is intended to form part of an overall security strategy, with the user deciding on the level of threat and exposure time before intervention arrives - in the context of the consequences of losing items, information or systems being protected. HTM 58 describes lead-lined doorsets with continuous shielding across the leaf and frame, with any gaps masked. Any vision panels to be as small as possible with X-ray resistant glass. X-ray protection doorsets, combining other requirements such as fire or hygiene, can be supplied. Fire Smoke Control DD171 BS8300:2009 Compliance LPS 1175 Issue 7 SR3 and SR4 HTM 58 Technical Specifications and Standards HBN 06 HTM 2014 PAS 24 CPNI Certified Part M Part L Part Q HBN 06 stresses the importance of adjacent construction continuity and lead-lined architraves. MRI and electrical interference is covered in detail by HBN 06. ASSAABLOY can supply doorsets with vision panels containing glass that absorb lasers of specified frequencies. Covers protection from electrical interference with a similar arrangement of copper-lined doorsets including conductivity between door and frame, and conductive glass in any vision panels. Special copper- lined doorsets can be supplied. An enhanced security standard designed to assess whether a door and frame set can withstand a series of measured manual and mechanical tests to prevent access by the opportunistic intruder for a defined period of time. CPNI is the government authority for protective security advice to the UK national infrastructure. For more information and doorset options, please contact CPNI. Part M focuses on the ease of access for disabled persons when using a building facility. Our doorsets can be used in a range of applications such as nursing homes, hospitals and commercial buildings. Part L of the building regulations refers to the conservation of fuel and power, and exists to guarantee the eco-efficiency of properties built under UK law. We supply doorsets with sustainability in mind. Requirement Q 1 applies only in relation to new dwellings and provides that reasonable provision must be made to resist unauthorised access to any dwelling; and any part of a building from which access can be gained to a flat within the building.
