How fire shutter servicing & drop tests works, and what to ask for
We can test shutters linked to the fire alarm in coordination with your alarm contractor. Fire safety law in each UK nation requires fire precautions, including fire shutters, to be maintained.
A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered. Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters.
Features to choose from
- Closing speed and governor checks
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- Full drop test under fire signal or release
- Coordination with your alarm contractor
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks
- Written report for your fire log book

Rules in England
Fire safety law and fire shutters
In England fire shutters form part of a building's fire precautions under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. The responsible person must keep them maintained in efficient working order and good repair, which in practice means regular drop testing with written records.
