Legal regulations are imposed on certain buildings, in particular PAB (public-access buildings) and high-rise buildings, which must be equipped with passive and active means to protect users in the event of fire. Fire doors play a role in the passive protection against fires by contributing to the compartmentalisation of the premises, a method aiming to limit the spread of fire between the different parts of the building. This compartmentalisation has a number of aims, in particular to give the fire services time to arrive on site and control the fire.
Current standards
To conform to the decree of 22 March 2004, from 1 April 2004 fire doors have been tested according to the European standards EN 1634-1 and NF EN 13501-2. The decree outlines the methods of proof required, namely, an official report from an authorised French laboratory, and valid on the date when building permission or works authorisation were granted. Classification according to the NF EN 13501 standards is marked by the letter E for fire-resistant doors (the equivalent of PF for French standards) and EI for fire-cutting doors (equivalent of CF according to French standards). The duration of the fire-resistance rating is given in minutes.
