Title: Steel fire shutters
Post by: boroboy on January 29, 2010, 10:02:52 AM

Hi everyone out there.  Does anyone know if there is a British Standard on metal fire shutters and if there is a recommendation on the period of routine testing assuming it hasn't been used in anger?  I am concerned that a client has a shutter that hasn't been lowered for a few years and whether there is test procedure for the fusible link other than an inspection.   Any thoughts would be apprciated.
