Door System's EI260-C fire sliding door is approved and CE-marked according to the new European standard.
The European standard for fire doors and fire sliding doors
The European standard EN 16034 means that all fire sliding doors and external hinged doors are subject to CE marking and the classifications EI230 and EI260. Internal hinged doors and sliding doors for pedestrian traffic exclusively are not affected by the new rules. They must still be approved and marked in accordance with the Danish Standard, BD30 and BS60.
There's quite a lot to keep track of. Door System has invested a lot of resources in developing and testing according to the new European standard and has an in-depth knowledge of the new fire requirements. We can advise you to get the right fire solution.
From fire testing to CE marking in cooperation with DBI - The Danish Institute of Fire and Security Technology
All of Door System’s solutions are fire tested at DBI – the Danish Institute of Fire and Security Technology.
If you need to add a window or a pedestrian door, a new fire test is required.
All of Door System's solutions are fire tested at DBI – the Danish Institute of Fire and Security Technology, and all the important processes from fire testing to CE marking are completed in co-operation with DBI and DBI Certification.
What is the door approved for?
In principle, an approved fire test only allows the sale of a door similar to the specific door that has been tested and approved, with very limited possibility of adjusting its size.
An Extended Application Report (EXAP) will be prepared in cooperation between DBI and Door System so as to be able to offer as many options as possible.
The EXAP will allow us to meet more of our customers’ demands with respect to height, width, installation of alarms, magnets, automatics, braking system, etc. Based on the EXAP, DBI prepares a Classification Report to document which applications the door has been approved for.
If you need to change the type of wall or add a window, sealings or a pedestrian door in the sliding door, a new fire test is required.
Review of our production processes
The next step is a review of our production processes and subsequent approval by DBI Certification, a so-called FPC approval (Factory Production Control). This will be carried out once a year starting this year, to ensure a uniform production of our products. This control will ensure that the requirements for traceability, control and documentation in accordance with EN 16034 are met during the manufacture of the fire doors. This is our way of guaranteeing our customers the same high quality product over and over again.
After having obtained the FPC approval, a CPR certificate is issued by DBI Certification.
CE-marking
When the Classification report and the CPR certificate are available, we can supply the fire sliding door with the CE-mark. The CE-mark, together with the Declaration of Performance, is documentation that the door has been approved in accordance with EN 16034.
