Fire Door Inspection Service

The importance of fire door safety inspection

Fire doors are critical to the success of passive fire protection systems. They protect lives and property by limiting the passage of fire and, depending on the specific fire door assembly, they can also limit the passage of smoke and toxic gases.

NFPA fire door standard

To help ensure these fire doors continue to operate safely, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), under NFPA 80, Standard for Fire Doors and Other Opening Protectives, requires annual inspections for fire doors. Assigned record of this inspection must also be kept on file for the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ). Engaging UL Solutions to perform these inspections helps facility managers, property owners and other parties demonstrate compliance, mitigate risk and helps to ensure the safety of the building occupants.
