Ensuring fire doors comply with updated safety standards is crucial for maximizing protection in buildings during a fire, as improvements in materials, construction methods, and safety knowledge have enhanced their performance. To address this, the Bureau of Standards, Metrology, and Inspection (BSMI) is proposing amendments to the current fire door requirements. These include adopting the 2016 version of the inspection standard CNS 11227-1 and introducing factory inspections as part of the conformity assessment process. Measures will also be taken to allow the acceptance of test reports based on the previous 2002 version for certain conditions.
