Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters. Faults found on test are reported straight away with a price for the remedial work.

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.
