Fire Safety Doors – Australian Standards (AS 1905.1 and AS1530.4)

Torvac Solutions will evaluate the positioning, composition and accessibility of Fire Safety Doors in your premises. As one of the most important components of passive fire protection, Fire Safety Doors can help prevent, slow or compartmentalise the spread of fire.

The process of installing fire doors in compliance with the current national standards and requirements set out by the Building Code of Australia and the relevant Australian Standards (AS 1905.1 and AS1530.4).

Torvac Solutions staff have Fire Safety Doors installation licences and accreditation. Our expertise will guarantee that the fire doors installed in fire walls will preserve the fire rating of that same wall. All doors, door frames and hardware are tested and installed in accordance with the construction requirements.

We will choose which rated fire door best meets your needs and works most effectively with the layout of your building, considering door placement, connection to fire detection systems and installation along with fire-resistant walls and ceilings. Torvac will ensure your fire door installations comply with Australian Standard 1905.1.

Fire Safety Doors Ratings

The rating numbers refer to the following:

• Structural adequacy – How long the structure will support the load and remain vertical
• Integrity – How long the structure will withstand flames
• Insulation – how long the structure will not increase in temperature

With that in mind, a rating of -/60/30 indicates the door will withstand flames for 60 minutes and remain cool for 30 before heating up. The dash (-) indicating structural adequacy means that the door is non load bearing, however the fire door provides integrity and insulation protection.

As a requirement of The Building Code of Australia and local council legislation. Fire Safety Doors are inspected and tested at the following intervals:

• 6 Monthly – Common Property Fire Doors
• Annual – Common Property Fire doors and Sole Occupancy Unit Fire Doors
