BSI日前修改了BS8214防火门组件行业规则。修订后的标准为木制防火门的规格、安装以及维护给出建议。
修订后的BS 8214包括与门组件和周围结构之间密封相关的最新指南。该标准所给予的建议适用于木制铰接门、行人旋转门组件以及贴合任何材质门框的门扇。与修订前的BS8214:2008相比,修订后的标准的其它变化包括建筑设计、建造和使用中增添新的防火措施,从而保证与最近修改的BS 9999 建筑设计、管理和使用规范达成一致。
BS 8214的修订还考虑到门装配组件的供应商。许多零件供应商都在想方法保证其提供的产品符合组装成的门的安全性要求。修改后的标准还反映了该行业为提高产品使用性而做出的改变,尤其在防火门的安装和维护方面,同时也和在防火和烟雾控制领域工作的相关人员息息相关。
BSI建筑环境部负责人安东尼.伯德(Anthony Burd)指出:“BS 8214提供了由来自防火门安装部门、认证机构以及整个行业专家的分步指导。如果无法明确规定或正确安装和维护防火门组件将可能产生灾难性的后果。幸运的是,BS 8214为本行业内木制防火门的安装和维护提供一个基准标准。
BS 8214对于以下群体将会带来诸多益处:细木制品分包商、门窗制造商、建筑师、工程承包商、维保公司、认证机构、当地政府、玻璃生产企业、建筑材料制造商以及门部件供应商
BSI在制定该项标准时召集多个领域的人员,其中包括门窗五金联合会和门制造商协会,有来自木制防火门技术规范、安装和维护领域的专家,门窗制造商和建筑师。除此以外,该标准的制定还向技术监察和认证部门咨询意见。
修订后的标准仅适用于经其他英国标准BS 476-22 或 EN 1634-1测试耐火等级达到或高于2个小时的门部件。BS 8214不再包括已涵盖在BS EN 16034门相关配套部件。
BS 8214的制定参考以下文件:2010建筑规定的第7条规定、2005年监管改革令(消防安全)、消2005防法(苏格兰)、2010消防安全(北爱尔兰)。标准中参考刚制门装配的部分已被移除。
Fire door code of practice revised
BSI, the business standards company, has revised BS 8214 Code of practice for fire door assemblies. The updated standard gives recommendations for the specification, installation and maintenance of timber-based fire doors.
BS 8214 now includes updated guidance associated with the sealing between the door assembly and the surrounding structure. The recommendations are applicable to timber-based hinged or pivoted pedestrian door assemblies or door leaves, fitted into frames of any material.
Other changes to the revised standard from its predecessor, BS 8214:2008, include new fire precautions in the design, construction and use of building to ensure the standard is harmonized with recently revised BS 9999 Code of practice for fire safety in the design, management and use of buildings.
BS 8214 was revised with suppliers of door assembly components in mind, many of whom are looking for ways to align their offering with the reliability of assembly offered by doorsets. The revised standard reflects changes in the industry to meet its usability, particularly in relation to the installation and maintenance of fire doors, and is particularly relevant to those who work in the fire performance and smoke control sectors.
Anthony Burd, Head of Built Environment at BSI, said: “BS 8214 offers step-by-step guidance by experts from the fire door installation sector, certification bodies, and from across the industry. Failure to properly specify, install or maintain a fire door assembly could have devastating consequences. Fortunately for the industry, BS 8214 is the benchmark standard for the correct installation and maintenance of timber-based fire doors.”
BS 8214 will be of benefit to joinery sub-contractors; door and window manufacturers; architects; building contractors; maintenance companies; certification bodies; local authorities; glass manufacturing companies; construction materials and building manufacturers; and suppliers of door assembly components.
BSI convened a wide range of people when designing this standard including the Door and Hardware Federation and the Door Manufacturers Association; experts in specification, installation and maintenance of timber-based fire doors; door and window manufacturers; architects; and tech, inspection and certification houses were also consulted.
The revised standard is applicable only to door assembles that are designed to provide fire resistance ratings of up to and including a two hour time period when tested in accordance with other British standards BS 476-22 or EN 1634-1. BS 8214 no longer covers door sets, which are covered in BS EN 16034.
BS 8214 now references the following: regulation 7 of the Building Regulations 2010 and Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 [4]; the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 [5]; the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010 [6]. The reference to steel door assemblies in the standard has been removed.
