79 HI Bill, I am forwarding to you an updated PPT that we would present at the NFPA convention. I would ask you to insert page 74 as the new PPT page 1. Please review and offer any comments on the new presentation.
80 OWNERS & MANAGERS RESONSIBILITY It is critical that building owners and managers understand the importance of providing and maintaining the protective barriers in their facilities. The building owners and managers must also be educated as to what components make up the barriers, such as the Fire Doors and Other Protective Openings, and how to maintain the barriers over the life of the building.
81 NFPA 80 Standard for Fire Rated Doors and Other Openings Protectives Doors and hardware play a significant role in life safety. The fire door assemblies, which are part of the building barriers, are essential elements in containing fire and smoke and play a major role in both providing safe areas of refuge within the building, and in allowing the building occupants and rescue personnel time to safely enter and egress the buildings in times of emergency based on the time limits designs.
82
83 NFPA 80 is the recognized standard! NFPA 80, Standard for Fire Doors and Other Opening Protectives, requires the annual inspection of fire doors as well as documentation of inspection, testing and maintenance procedures. Upon adoption of the newer model codes*and the NFPA 80 standard, healthcare and other types of facility maintenance personnel will require the awareness and expertise to support their inspection, remediation, and ongoing maintenance needs to ensure their facility s compliance with NFPA 80
84 NFPA 80 HISTORY 1999 edition (and earlier editions) of NFPA 80 Chapter 15, Care and Maintenance o Paragraph Hardware shall be examined frequently and any parts found to be inoperative shall be replaced immediately. In the previous editions of NFPA 80 prior to 2007, the duration of time between inspections is ambiguous. Additionally, it is not clear as to what components of the fire door assembly should be inspected.
85 New NFPA 80 Requirements In the 2007, 2010 and 2013 edition of NFPA 80, Chapter 5.2.1, Care and Maintenance, requires annual inspection, of every fire door in new and existing buildings along with a written record of every assembly inspected. The revised NFPA 80 standards also provides specific instructions, as described in Chapter 6, as to which components of the fire door assemblies must inspected.
86 Healthcare Facility Managers Update. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has adopted the 2012 edition of NFPA This rule adopts updated provisions of the National Fire Protection Association s (NFPA) 2012 edition of the Life Safety Code (LSC) as well as provisions of the NFPA s 2012 edition of the Health Care Facilities Code. 101: Life Safety Code.
87 Keep These Points in Mind Fire doors are mechanical equipment that is subject to wear and tear Failure to properly maintain fire door assemblies in good operating condition is the action that violates code
88 NFPA 80 Chapter 5 Inspection, Testing and Maintenance Chapter 5 o Applies to new and existing installations o Covers Fire Doors, Fire Shutters, and fire windows and opening protectives, other than fire dampers and fabric fire safety curtains.
89 When shall a Fire Door Assembly Inspection take place? New Construction-Prior to issuance of Certificate of Occupancy. Upon completion of installation, doors, shutters and window assemblies shall be inspected and tested in accordance with (NFPA ). Existing Buildings-upon completion of maintenance work or repair work, the fire door assemblies should be inspected and tested to ensure the are in compliance to this standard , A (NFPA ).
90 NFPA Edition minimum 13 inspection steps Labels are clearly visible and legible No open holes or breaks exist in surfaces of either the door or frame Glazing, vision light frames, and glazing beads are intact and securely fastened in place, if so equipped The door, frame, hinges, hardware, and noncombustible threshold are secured, aligned, and in working order with no visible signs of damage No parts are missing or broken
91 NFPA Edition minimum 13 inspection steps Door clearances do not exceed clearances listed in or The self-closing device is operational; that is, the active door completely closes when operated from the full open position If a coordinator is installed, the inactive leaf closes before the active leaf Latching hardware operates and secures the door when it is in the closed position
92 NFPA Edition minimum 13 inspection steps Auxiliary hardware items that interfere or prohibit operation are not installed on the door or frame No field modifications to the door assembly have been made that void the label Meeting edge protection, gasketing, and edge seals, where required, are inspected to verify their presence and integrity Signage affixed to the door meets the requirements listed in 4.1.4
93 Inspections and Testing How 2 Parts of the Annual Inspection Functional Test o Verify proper operation, full closure, closing the door by all means of activation. Visual Inspection o Minimum items to verify during inspection.
94 Documentation Record of all inspections and testing, signed by inspector and kept for AHJ. How long? o Acceptance tests life of the assembly o Other inspection and tests at least 3 years What type? o No mandatory format - paper or electronic are OK.
95 Who is responsible? Owners/Facility Managers Inspectors AHJs
96 Authority Having Jurisdiction s (AHJ) Role and Responsibilities Enforce NFPA 80 s requirements for fire door assemblies o Installation and maintenance o Annual inspections (including performance based option) Approve the Fire Door Inspector of record who performs the inspection. (Fire Door Inspector Criteria )
97 Fire Door Inspector Criteria Acceptance testing of fire door and window assemblies shall be performed by a qualified person with knowledge and understanding of the operating components of the type of assembly being subject to testing. Qualified Person. A person who, by possession of a recognized degree, certificate, professional standing, or skill, and who, by knowledge, training, and experience, has demonstrated the ability to deal with the subject matter, the work, or the project.
98 Building Owner s Role and Responsibilities Maintaining fire door assemblies in working condition in accordance with NFPA 80 o NFPA 80 limits the type of work that can be performed on fire door assemblies o Owner s personnel need to be aware of limitations Performing and documenting NFPA 80 s safety inspections of fire door assemblies o Annually
