The market of fire doors is confusing and companies are calling for new standards to be introduced

“Although fire doors are not a significant part of building fire protection, overall, the market is very confusing and poor quality products are flooding the market, causing significant hidden dangers for building fire protection.” One does not want to be named The deputy general manager of the fire door manufacturing company said.

Taking price as an example, he pointed out that the price of fire doors on the market is not the same, and some even differ by a factor of two. "One can imagine that there must be counterfeit and inferior products."

Market Confusion According to reports, in a random inspection of fire protection products in Jiangsu Province, it was found that the pass rate of fire doors was only 45.5%, and the pass rate of fire protection coating application was zero. The relevant statistical data shows that the ratio of construction fire facilities due to product quality that cannot be normally operated or put into use is as high as 30% or more. If the fire damage is significant, most of the firefighting facilities in the building do not play a role in the fire.

The quality of fire doors is particularly worrying. In the inspection of Changzhou City, Jiangsu Province, it was found that the thickness of the fire door steel plates produced by many manufacturers was only half of the standard. The fire resistance of the filling materials was poor, the thickness was not enough, and the fire board was of inferior quality; the guarded goods team appeared in the products that were inspected, and some companies acquired them. The market access certification of the relevant product proves that the sample is sent for inspection at a high price. After the certificate is handed, the quality of its own product is still unqualified.

What's more, knowing that fire doors are used to block fire, fireproof materials must be used, but flammable honeycomb paper is used as a filler material for fire doors. Therefore, fire doors used to protect residents' safety have been created. Set fire to the door."

The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Public Security Fire Department once told the media that the demand for public fire protection facilities and fire safety products in China has increased rapidly. The fire protection industry has shown unprecedented momentum of development. At present, the entire industry already has more than 10,000 production and service-oriented enterprises. Thousands of varieties of fire products.

“However, the market order of fire products in China is still relatively confusing, and a large number of inferior fire protection products have flowed into construction projects and fire fighting systems, resulting in the virtual use of fire control facilities, resulting in a large number of fire hazards and severely endangering public safety,” the official pointed out.

New standards will be firefighters suggest that the purchase of fire doors must look for companies with fire doors production qualification.

Fire door manufacturers must obtain the type approval certificate for fire products issued by the Fire Products Conformity Assessment Center of the Ministry of Public Security before they can produce, sell, and install fire doors. Companies that have obtained a recognized certificate may not sell, install, or use fire door products before the certificate is restored once the certificate is suspended or expired without replacement.

The above-mentioned deputy general manager of the fire door manufacturing company stated that the new version of the fire door standards will be released, but now the standard for new products is still in the trial production stage, and companies are waiting.
