Fire Evacuation Plan

Condition of the Door: Look for any physical damage, such as holes, cracks, or dents, that could compromise the integrity of the door. Certification Label: Ensure the fire door has a visible fire-resistance label or marking indicating the fire rating (e.g., FD30 meaning 30 minute fire door, FD60 meaning 60 minute fire door) which tells you how long the door can withstand fire. Proper Fit: The door should fit within the frame without significant gaps. A poorly fitting door can reduce its fire-resistant capabilities.

Condition: Inspect for damage, including cracks or missing parts of the frame. Sealant: Ensure the frame is sealed appropriately, and there are no gaps where smoke or flames could pass through.

Intumescent Seals: These seals expand when exposed to heat, sealing the door to the frame to prevent smoke and fire from passing through. Check for any signs of damage or wear. Smoke Seals: These are separate from the intumescent seals and should be intact and undamaged to prevent the passage of smoke during a fire.

Ease of Movement: The door should open and close easily without any obstruction or sticking. It should not require excessive force to operate. Clearance: There should be no more than a small gap (usually 3mm) between the door and the frame when the door is fully closed.
