How fire shutter servicing & drop tests works, and what to ask for

The fusible link, alarm interface, governor, curtain, guides and bottom rail are all inspected. Each visit is recorded with a certificate-style report for your fire safety log book. Manufacturers and industry guidance typically call for testing at least once a year, and more often for busy or critical shutters.

Fire safety law in each UK nation requires fire precautions, including fire shutters, to be maintained. Regular testing also gives staff a chance to see how the shutter behaves and keep the area clear.

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.
