Fire Shutter Technical Standards and Requirements

As a leading fire shutter manufacturer in China, Guangdun Door Industry Co., Ltd. is committed to providing high-quality fire shutters that meet the highest safety standards. Below is an overview of the key technical requirements and installation guidelines for fire shutters, with a focus on compliance with industry regulations and safety standards.

1. Fire Shutter Construction Requirements

• Fire shutters should adhere to the technical specifications outlined in the Fire Shutter Technical Standards (GB14102-2008) and must be equipped with both fire and smoke protection.
• Fire shutters must integrate with temperature-sensitive and smoke-detection alarm systems for enhanced safety.
• They should automatically descend in case of fire, with a delay mechanism (1-10 minutes) to allow for emergency evacuation.
• The shutters should also have emergency manual override features and can be operated both automatically and manually as required.

2. Fire Shutter Appearance and Material Requirements

• All metal parts should be free from defects such as cracks, dents, or visible rough edges and must be treated with anti-corrosion coatings for durability.
• The inorganic fiber composite curtain (used in the shutter) must be defect-free, ensuring a uniform weave and smooth surface.
• Fire shutters made of inorganic fiber composite materials must demonstrate high fire resistance with B1-level textile burning performance, ensuring they meet national fire safety standards.
• All components, including guide rails and slats, must be precisely manufactured to avoid misalignment and to ensure smooth operation.

3. Materials for Fire Shutter Construction

• All raw materials used in the manufacturing of fire shutters, including steel and inorganic composite fiber, must comply with the relevant national standards or industry norms.
• The material strength of the inorganic fiber curtain should be robust, ensuring it meets the specified tensile strength requirements for both warp and weft directions.
• The shutter curtain’s decorative fabric or base cloth must maintain elasticity at temperatures up to 50°C and should not become brittle or adhesive at low temperatures.

4. Fire Shutter Key Dimensions and Tolerances

• The guide rails should have specific tolerances, with the slot depth and width each requiring a precision of ±2mm.
• All roller and curtain assembly parts should be correctly aligned, with a gap tolerance of no more than 3mm between sections.

5. Installation and Performance Requirements

• For large openings (widths between 3000mm and 5000mm), the guide rails must be securely embedded with a depth of at least 50mm to ensure the stability of the fire shutter.
• The curtain should be supported by high-temperature resistant stainless steel wires at regular intervals to maintain structural integrity.
• Fire shutters must operate smoothly within their guide rails without any jamming or impact, providing seamless function in both residential and industrial environments.

6. Control and Safety Features

• The fire shutter control system must be compatible with national fire detection equipment and undergo rigorous testing and certification.
• Smoke-proof and fire-proof mechanisms should be incorporated into the guide rails and door frame to prevent the spread of smoke and fire.
