The fusible link, alarm interface, governor, curtain, guides and bottom rail are all inspected. Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters.
Regular testing also gives staff a chance to see how the shutter behaves and keep the area clear. A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered.

- Full drop test under fire signal or release
- 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.
