Legislative Changes to Essential Safety Measures
A Fire Door is one of the primary component measures of structural fire protection implemented to contain a fire in the fire compartment, thus limiting the spread of fire and smoke for a period of 1, 2 and 4 hour rating as determined by the BCA. This is achieved by using the appropriate fire structures and components appropriate to each situation using materials that meet Australian Standards for fire resistance.
