T30 external door
Fire resistance to T30 standard
T30 external door - what does T30 actually stand for?
Like all fire doors, the T30 external door is also subjected to a fire test and must withstand an oven temperature of approx. 1,000 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes. During this time, a certain limit temperature must not be exceeded on the side facing away from the fire, and no flames may penetrate through the door leaf or the frame of the T30 external door. Only if the T30 external door can withstand the flames for 30 minutes is it classified as T30 (fire-resistant).
T30 external door - effective fire protection and attractive design
If you want your T30 external door to remain open under normal circumstances, the door closer can be coupled with a hold-open system to ensure that the door closes automatically in the event of a fire. The T30 door from Brandschutztischlerei Beelitz is used in many places in industry, trade and commerce, as well as in private, public and industrial areas. Single-family homes and large apartment blocks enjoy the protection of our T30 doors, as do clinics, cinemas, shops, offices, multi-storey car parks and schools. Incidentally: In addition to the purely functional requirements, a T30 external door also matches the look you want. Our T30 doors combine pioneering details such as reduced wear and efficient installation with an attractive design.
T30 external doors - how they are tested
Fire doors must be approved by the German Institute for Building Technology. In most cases, you will receive approval for 5 years. You must submit an application, including for an extension if necessary. Without the approval, the door may not be used as a fire door. This is also the case when the approval expires. The doors must be permanently labelled with the approval number. Anyone who is familiar with this can recognise the type of door T30 (single or multi-leaf), how long it is fire-resistant, who monitors it and the approval and corresponding number from the plate. The number must not be removed. The regular inspections of fire protection doors such as the T30 exterior door may only be carried out by a specialist. The result and the time of the test are recorded in a test report and must be kept by the operator of the door. The test report serves as proof for the authorities and insurance companies.
