Choosing fire shutter servicing & drop tests for premises in Rochdale

Regular testing also gives staff a chance to see how the shutter behaves and keep the area clear. Manufacturers and industry guidance typically call for testing at least once a year, and more often for busy or critical shutters.

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.
