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.
The fusible link, alarm interface, governor, curtain, guides and bottom rail are all inspected. Regular testing also gives staff a chance to see how the shutter behaves and keep the area clear.
Specification options
- Written report for your fire log book
- Full drop test under fire signal or release
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
- Coordination with your alarm contractor
- Closing speed and governor checks
