Hinges For Fire Doors
« on: June 02, 2006, 10:43:15 AM »
Can anybody advise re the differences between BS7352 and EN 1935?
BSI website doesn't list either document, nor does TI.
We have a new building where the fire doors are fitted with ASSA type stainless steel hinges to BS7352, but the last minute changes to layout in one area, the new doors have been fitted with japanned type hinges to EN 1935. They do not look as robust.

BS 8214:1990 Code of practice for fire door assemblies with non-metallic leaves states, in paragraph 16.2.1, ‘Hinges fitted to fire doors should …be selected to perform in accordance with BS 7352.’  

However, BS 7352 has been withdrawn and is replaced by BS EN 1935:2002.

BS EN 1935:2002 Building Hardware- single axis hinges- Requirements and test methods, classifies door hinges in terms of their duty.

BS EN 1935 is on TI.  Infact, if you search for BS 7352 you get BS EN 1935!
