Benin Fire Door Certification Requirements – Compliance Guide
1. Core Certification Standards
Fire doors in Benin must comply with:
West African Standards (WAEC/Normes UEMOA) – Regional fire safety regulations, often aligned with EN (European norms) or NF (French standards).
ISO 3008 – Fire resistance testing standard (commonly referenced in Benin).
Local Building Codes – Benin’s Ministry of Urban Planning and Housing may require additional approvals for large projects.
2. Fire Resistance Ratings
Benin typically follows European classifications (EN 13501-2):
E-Class (Integrity only): 30-120 minutes
EI-Class (Integrity + Insulation): EI 30/60/90/120
3. Mandatory Testing & Certification
Testing: Must be conducted at accredited labs (e.g., EU-notified bodies or West African test centers).
Local Approval: Submit test reports to Benin’s Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport for compliance verification.
Import Requirements: Non-WAEC-certified products may require additional validation.
4. Special Requirements
Smoke Seals: Mandatory for public buildings (similar to EN 1634-3).
Automatic Closers: Required for commercial and high-rise buildings.
Labeling: Fire doors must have permanent certification marks (French/English acceptable).
5. Market Considerations
Cost Efficiency: EN-certified steel doors are preferred for high-end projects.
Local Partnerships: Working with Beninese contractors can streamline approvals.
Fire-Rated Door & Window Project at Starland Residential Complex, Cotonou – A YK Doors Case Study
1. Project Overview: Elevating Residential Fire Safety in West Africa
Located in the heart of Cotonou, the economic capital of Benin, the Starland Residential Complex is one of the most ambitious upscale housing projects in the country, led by the West African Urban Development Group (WAUDG). This multi-phase development will feature multiple high-rise towers, landscaped community spaces, and integrated retail facilities. With safety as a core pillar of the design, YK Doors, a leading Chinese fire-rated door manufacturer, was selected to supply and install certified fire-rated doors and windows across all towers and common areas.
This strategic partnership marks another milestone in YK’s expansion into West Africa’s urban development sector, demonstrating its ability to deliver high-quality, cost-effective fire protection solutions tailored to regional standards and climatic challenges.
🏗️ Developer: West African Urban Development Group (WAUDG)
📦 Scope: Supply and install EI 60 steel fire doors, fire-resistant aluminum windows, and EI 90 emergency exit systems
🗓️ Timeline: Phase 1 by 2025 | Final delivery by 2026
2. Technical Specifications: Products Designed for Performance & Compliance
YK Doors provided a complete portfolio of tested and certified fire-rated systems to meet both international and regional fire codes, while adapting products to Cotonou’s coastal climate.

All fire doors feature French-language rating labels, permanent certification marks, and meet the Ministry of Urban Planning’s material inspection protocols. For window assemblies, anti-oxidation surface treatment was applied to mitigate humidity and salt damage, crucial in Cotonou’s marine climate.
3. Full Regulatory Compliance: Tested, Certified & Regionally Validated
YK’s products underwent third-party fire testing at the Lomé Fire Safety Laboratory in Togo, an institution recognized across the West African Economic and Monetary Union (UEMOA) region. This allowed WAUDG to bypass lengthy re-certification processes and benefit from cross-border mutual recognition.
✅ Key Compliance Highlights:
EN 13501-2 European fire door standard
ISO 3008 fire test for door and window assemblies
WAEC/UEMOA regional equivalence for cross-border project approvals
Permanent French labeling per Benin’s legal requirement (Article 47, Code de la Construction et de l’Habitat)
4. Why YK Doors Was Chosen Over European Competitors
Several factors contributed to YK’s selection over traditional European fire door suppliers:
20% Cost Advantage: By leveraging the WAEC mutual recognition framework, YK avoided redundant testing costs and offered significantly lower unit prices than European vendors without compromising on performance.
Local Collaboration: YK partnered with Securité Bénin, a certified fire protection installer based in Cotonou, to conduct on-site technical training, ensuring proper handling, installation, and post-installation inspection.
Proven West Africa Experience: Prior success with the Porto-Novo Government Housing Project in 2023 established trust and demonstrated YK’s capability in handling public infrastructure projects within Benin.
5. Looking Ahead: A Strategic Foothold in Francophone West Africa
This project not only strengthens YK’s position in Benin but also creates a model for future fire door implementation in Francophone West Africa. As more nations adopt harmonized building codes through WAEC/UEMOA, YK aims to continue expanding across the region with:
Localized service teams
Region-specific product lines
Partnerships with government-backed developers
With Phase 2 of the Starland project already under planning for 2026, YK’s fire-rated solutions will remain an integral part of Cotonou’s modern urban landscape.
