The Test Result
The Furnace Test
To demonstrate and prove performance,
a composite fire doorset sample must
be tested from both sides. This involves
securing two fire door samples to the
furnace wall, representing its use in
practice. One doorset will be installed
to open towards the furnace and the
other to open away, resulting in a true
bi-directionally tested door. Again, the
doorset samples are assessed to ensure
they have been installed correctly. Sensors
are then attached to each door sample
to record the temperature and the
performance of the door.
To watch the furnace test of the
Neuma fds Fire Door in action
view the video below.
A fire door classified as FD30 is designed to
keep fire at bay for 30 minutes. The furnace
test will run for 30 minutes or until there
is a detectable flame (or cotton pad/ gap
gauge failure) which is proven to show
the integrity of the door has been visibly
compromised. Should the fire door remain
uncompromised, any additional time is
recorded in the test report. This overrun
accounts for variation in furnace testing
across Europe and ensures that the fire door
will always meet the required level
of integrity.
The Primary Test Evidence
The resulting fire door test report
forms the Primary Test Evidence and
demonstrates that the specification
defined within the Field of Application
can be effectively reproduced to meet the
required performance standard.
The Neuma fds Fire Door System has
achieved an average resistance time of
44 minutes, which is 50% longer than
the FD30 standard requirement and
classed as Category B status.
This evidence is used to support the Third
Party Accreditation process resulting in
the award of the industry recognized
standard Q Mark Certification.
