Fire and smoke doors are crucial fire safety components designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke in a building. Fire doors are designed to withstand fire for a specific period, preventing its spread, while smoke doors focus on limiting smoke movement to prevent suffocation and maintain escape routes. However, to remain effective, all the parts need to work as designed including the door-seals, closers, and locksets.
Australian Standard 1851 requires fire doors and smoke doors to be inspected on a six-monthly basis, sliding fire doors on a three-monthly basis. Hinged and pivoted fire-resistant door sets serving as entry doors to private residential apartments may also be inspected annually.
Records of these inspections form part of the annual AESMR report that every owner of a building in a designated class is required to complete.
ESS technicians undertake a detailed inspection of the fire and smoke door components, to ensure the doors are working correctly including the automatic closing and latching mechanisms.
As the work is done, each step is record by the technician in our maintenance management system, and the information is immediately available to clients through our dedicated client portal. The information is also stored to facilitate AESMR reporting.
