How fire shutter servicing & drop tests works, and what to ask for
Regular testing also gives staff a chance to see how the shutter behaves and keep the area clear. Fire safety law in each UK nation requires fire precautions, including fire shutters, to be maintained.
Manufacturers and industry guidance typically call for testing at least once a year, and more often for busy or critical shutters. A shutter that sticks, closes too fast or stops short can leave an opening unprotected in a fire.
