Fire resistance and smoke dispersion control tests for doors and locking systems, opening windows and their construction components - Part 3: Smoke dispersion control tests for doors and locking systems.
A REALLY USEFUL GARRISONWe would like to stress that what saves the most lives in fires, besides prevention and training, is correct and precise exodus planning and safety management. It is well known that active and passive protection is used to give people time to escape and rescue workers time to intervene, but those who have done a fire test also know that a door subjected to a fire test will smoke and that more people die in fires as a result of smoke than they burn alive, so there should be more smoke doors than fire doors, but in reality, at present, it is exactly the opposite.
ALSO INTRODUCED IN ITALY WITH THE CODERecently the Italian legislator has also introduced the smoke tightness of doors and windows, with smoke filter E 30 Sa, and more and more will be required. The fire prevention code states in paragraph S.3 (compartmentalisation) that "The solutions conforming to performance level II shall be applied using smoke-proof elements (Sa) for the closure of compartment compartments (S.3.2).i.e., the designer is left the option to choose
FIRE MODELINGIn fire modelling, the fundamental parameter is RSET, i.e. the time required for the exodus of the occupants. Smoke-proof doors "give" precious seconds to the exodus, so that it can take place more orderly also protecting the weaker categories.
THE TESTThe test must be carried out on the standardised support or on the associated support if the door is to be installed on the latter in practice. By testing on the flexible support, you have the extension to the rigid support but not vice versa. You start by making the support and installing the door as in practice on the test frame. Depending on how the test rig is structured, it may be that the test object is placed on a movable chassis (with a bridge crane) or directly on the test machine.

THE CHEMOLLI FIRE CONTRIBUTIONWhen it comes to testing, we provide our experience and our KNOW-HOW. Having always done this type of activity, as specialists, we offer you complete advice during all the laboratory experimentation phases, from design to documentation of results. THE METHOD Listening is the most important phase of our interaction: we want you to develop a product that is the sum of your identity and your needs. First of all, we'll try to understand your real needs, the channels and the markets you want to measure yourself on. Then we will show you how the testing and certification process takes place: we need to deal with you, to fully grasp your point of view. Then, we concert a proposal that respects - compatibly with the required performances - your product lines, your production lines and, as far as possible, the potential economies of scale by using products and methodologies already consolidated in your company. EMPATHY Beyond the opportunities, which we will show you, we will then advise you what we would do, in your shoes. We advise with our experience on what, how and where to test. In which laboratory should you test? In the one that best suits your needs! THE PROJECT Once the key is turned, we prepare a project that is exhaustive of all the details. Which materials and components to use, an important part of our dialogue on which we can best advise you. In addition to this, a cost sheet and a forecast of weights, to allow you to check if your goals will be achieved. Using the best practices in the sector, we are convinced of this. ATYPICAL CONSULTANTS: WE TAKE CARE OF THE TESTING ACTIVITY A consultant gives advice, then lets the client put it into practice. We are not like this: we take off tie and put on our work clothes when needed. Once the production of the samples has been launched, we are present during the gluing of the doors, we offer support during processing and hardware installation, we proceed with our technicians to install the samples in the laboratory and we are physically present at the test. We manage the post-test documentation review phase, we illustrate the documentation and remain available for all issues related to results management.

Standard for Air Leakage Tests of Door Assemblies and Other Opening Protectives
THE TESTUL 1784is a test that is very similar to the European test according to EN1634-3, where the heating is similar (400degrees fahrenheit is 204 degrees), but the temperature in the test chamber must be reached, instead of 30 minutes as indicated in the European test, in 15 minutes. Smoke-proof doors normally have the addition of an "S" in the definition (e.g. FD20S). This involves an additional test in addition to the UL10b/UL10cfire test.
LISTINGUL listedproducts can be found and searched in the UL database, IQ Prospectorhttps://iq.ulprospector.com/ The category for smoke-proof doors is OPBWLeakage-rated Door Assemblies UL is not the only laboratory that can perform ULtesting, but it is the only one that can include you in the UL IQ Prospector. There are also other bodies that can carry out a test according to the UL standard, they could include you in their own database (e.g. Intertek).
