EI₂60-C fire doors

Approved and CE marked fire doors

According to new rules per 1 November 2019, the sale of external fire doors which have not been approved and CE marked in accordance with the new European standard EN 16034 is not allowed. The old fire classes BD30 and BS60 have been replaced by the new fire classes EI₂30 and EI₂60, respectively.

Door System has long been selling hinged fire doors that have been tested and approved in accordance with the new standard. Our production system is continuously checked so we can CE mark our hinged fire doors.

Specially developed door frame

Although the fire door is mounted in a fire-approved panel wall, the solution is not necessarily approved, because the door needs to be tested mounted in the panel wall. Our solution has been tested and approved, but it required a specially developed door frame to make the door work with the panel wall, as a panel wall moves a lot under fire.

Comprehensive fire test

The stricter requirements also mean, for instance, that you need to physically test 2-leafed doors. The assembly between the door leaves is extremely exposed in case of fire, and it requires very special adjustments to the 2-leafed door to withstand for 60 minutes. If there is a window in the door, the door also needs to be tested with the window before it can be approved.

We can advise you

We can advise you when investing in fire doors. If we get into the process early, we can ensure that the project material is correctly prepared, so that there will be no unexpected costs when the project is to be realized. We can also help with the necessary approvals from the fire authorities.

Important characteristics of Door System's EI₂60-C fire doors

Door case with silicone seals

The EI₂60-C fire door is supplied with the silicone seals and fire door foam it has been tested and approved with, for instance as a façade door. It has a welded door case and an optimum design in terms of hygiene.

Fire window

The EI₂60-C fire door can be supplied tested and approved with a fire window up to the standard size of 2 x 800mm. The fire window has chamfered edges and is available also with countersunk screws for use e.g. in pharmaceutical companies.

Fire door frame

By default the EI₂60 fire door frame is made in stainless steel. This makes the door very cleaning-friendly and suitable for instance for food processing environments. The frame is punched out and welded, ensuring a stylish solution

Our fire doors passed the test with additional hardware and extra height

Our hinged fire doors – one double-leaf and two single-leaf fire doors – have been tested with a wide range of new options and additional hardware, including automatics, new lock cases, radar, and new glass types. Test of EL574 motor lock case with a security strike plate was a specific wish by one of our major pharmaceutical customers.

The double-leaf fire door was also tested with extra height and is now approved up to 2,540 mm.

See the list of approved new options and additional hardware below.

The fire doors passed the test with the following hardware and new options:

Motor lock case EL574
Strike EA342
Salto lock SX4
New type of door closer
Window glass CF60-3. Both general fire glass and thermo fire glass. The glasses are hardened and can be laminated (the fire glass itself functions as laminated due to gel and therefore does not need lamination)
4 new types of sealant. Both food-approved and FDA-approved sealant available.
Cable loop with tube from door leaf to frame, as well as electrical box mounted on the frame
Rat door gasket at the bottom of the door leaf
Dog bolts on the rear edge of the door leaf
Espagnolette (can be used both with and without an approved automatic espagnolette)
Panic bar and associated lock case according to EN 1125
Automatic
Sensor for automation on both sides of the door leaf
Flatscan radar on both sides of the door leaf
The height of double-leaf fire doors is approved up to 2,540 mm
Doorstep of 25 mm

As always, the test was carried out by the Danish Fire and Security Institute (DBI).

The fire door must be tested and approved for mounting in a panel wall

Please note that although a fire door has been mounted in a fire-approved panel wall, this is not necessarily an approved solution. The fire door must be tested and approved for mounting in a panel wall. Door System’s solution has been tested and approved, but it required a specially developed door frame to make the door work with the panel wall, as a panel wall moves a lot under fire.
