Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard applies to indicating and control units for fire resistant doorsets (fire door monitors) installed in general industrial and civil buildings. It covers the terminology, requirements, testing, and marking for these control devices. It is mandatory for manufacturers producing fire door monitoring systems for the Chinese market. Other environments may refer to this standard as well.
Technical requirements
The standard specifies mandatory requirements for Chapters 4, 6, and 7, covering general performance, inspection rules, and marking. It defines the requirements for main components such as indicators, fuses, terminal blocks, and backup power supplies. For overall performance, the standard mandates basic functions including displaying and controlling the open/close status of fire doors, receiving fire alarm signals from automatic fire alarm systems, and issuing start signals within specific timeframes. Manufacturers must ensure the monitor can record at least 10,000 status events and upload this information. It also sets forth requirements for insulation resistance, dielectric strength, and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) to ensure the device operates reliably under various electrical disturbances, referencing standards like GB/T 17626.2 through GB/T 17626.11. Furthermore, the standard outlines environmental and mechanical durability requirements, including resistance to temperature variations, humidity, vibrations, and collisions, ensuring the monitor maintains a normal monitoring state during and after these tests.
Testing methods
The standard details comprehensive testing procedures to verify compliance. Key tests include the basic function test, which checks the monitor's response to fire alarm signals and its control over electric closers and electromagnetic release devices. EMC tests are conducted according to relevant GB/T standards to assess immunity against electrostatic discharge, radiated electromagnetic fields, and electrical fast transients. Environmental tests evaluate performance under low temperature and constant damp heat conditions, while mechanical tests assess durability against vibrations and impacts. Manufacturers must pass both factory and type inspections to certify their products.
