Fire resistance classes EI30 and EI60 mean that the doors prevent the passage of flames and limit the flow of heat energy for (respectively) 30 and 60 minutes. If the door is fitted with a sill or a drop-down rail, it is possible to obtain the smoke resistance classes Sa, Sm (according to PN-EN 13501-2:2016-07).
El30, El60 complement the range of fire proof doors and technical windows equipped with a frame instead of a doorstep and without an external handle and insert.

Fire door suppliers must provide certification to prove the products are genuine and have been tested according to EU regulations. What are these certifications? Fire resistance classes EI30 and EI60 are designations for fire-rated doors, and they indicate their ability to resist fire and provide insulation for a specified duration.
These classifications ensure that the doors allow time for escape during a fire. Public and large buildings should have a designated ‘Responsible Person’ to oversee and check local regulations to ensure compliance with the appropriate fire safety requirements.
Fire-rated, also called fireproof doors must be fitted by certified professionals trained in fire door installation to ensure compliance with safety regulations. In Ireland and the UK, installers must meet the standards outlined in BS 476-22 or BS EN 1634-1 for fire performance testing.
Improperly installed fire doors may fail during a fire, endangering lives and violating legal requirements. Certified professionals ensure compliance with building codes and safety standards, which are critical for insurance and liability purposes.
Choose from the optional features that are only offered by leading fire door manufacturers in Ireland and the UK. These features increase fire resistance and ensure smoke and fumes do not quickly fill areas.
Drop-down fire door seals are fitted along the bottom edge. These seals are an essential option that resist the spread of smoke should a fire occur. The seal drops down every time the door fully closes, but lifts on opening for ease of operation.
Door closers are large hinge mechanisms fitted usually at the top of the door. The closure mechanism slowly shuts the door when released. This feature ensures that the door always returns to the closed position for fire safety.
Emergency push bars are easy to open during a fire. The horizontal bar is simply pushed, and the door is released quickly for a fast escape.

Internal fire doors are designed as an essential safety measure, and their purpose is to slow down the spread of fire and smoke in a building. Fire door manufacturers must thoroughly test and certify their doors, proving that they can resist fire for at least 30 minutes. The rigorous testing not only covers the door itself, but also the frame, hinges, glazing and seals.
A fire door holds back flames and fumes in the event of a fire to allow sufficient time for occupants to evacuate the building. The doors are a legal requirement for public buildings and large dwellings in the EU. They are installed along fire exit routes, stairwells and areas with a higher fire risk, such as kitchens.
For domestic homes, building regulations require new builds and renovated properties to install fire doors where there are three or more floors including loft conversions. Building regulation officers can help determine if and when a domestic home needs a fire door.
Most fire door manufacturers for the UK make timber doors, but DAKO creates superior products. DAKO fire doors are constructed using aluminium, a material that has the strength to withstand high temperatures. It is a deliberate choice for the following qualities:
