Ferroflex Obtains New Fire-Resistance and Smoke- Control Certifications

Ferroflex, a leading company in the manufacture of industrial doors, in their constant adaptation to the evolving market and the needs of their customers, has obtained new fire-resistance and smoke-control certifications in their EI 60, EI90 and EI120 fire doors.

After undergoing different fire-resistance and smoke-control tests in space enclosure elements and opening windows, Ferroflex doors have successfully passed these tests.

EI 60, EI 90 and EI120 doors have been certified in their entirety, and have followed the trials in accordance with the UNE EN 1634-1:2016+A1 2018 standard, and with the classification of the UNE EN 13501-2:2009 standard.

The EI (integrity and insulation) classification defines the resistance that the materials have for a fixed period until flames or gases appear, or when a significant heat transfer is not produced on the surface of the door that is not exposed to fire. For Ferroflex doors, this classification corresponds to doors that insulate for 60 minutes (EI60), 90 minutes (EI90) and 120 minutes (EI120).

These types of fire doors are comprised of assembled panels, surrounded with 3- millimetre corrugated U piece. Each panel is constructed from 0.7-millimetre-thick lacquered steel sheet with a 150 kg/m3 rock wool core, making a self-supporting unit.
