Re: Fire Curtains
Hi Terry,
How do they operate? Are they automatic or manual?
You should either have a test key and a switch or they will be activated via alarm / their own detector.

Re: Fire Curtains
BS 8524-2:2013 refers, but I assume the curtains will be installed as part of a fire engineered solution. If this is the case, there should be some package that was supplied when it was installed.
Alternatively, why not get in touch with a maintenance company like Coopers of Hampshire and ask them how much they charge and what would they do to comply with BS 8524-2:2013

Re: Fire Curtains
They are automatic if the alarm goes off, we can also test that they come down electronically by the push of a button. We haven't received the manuals yet as the builders haven't done the offical hand over.Macca86 wrote:Hi Terry,

Do you think a monthly test is too much?
