A fire damper is a device installed in the ducts on a ventilation of any air distribution system, designed to automatically close upon detection of heat. The primary function of a fire damper is to prevent the passage of fire from one side of a separation to another.
At HS Hygiene Services, we will carry out testing to determine whether the fire dampers will function, when needed, in order to stop the spreading of fire. Speak with our staff
and get the fire dampers in your premises tested and maintained to BS 9999 Legislation . The BS 9999 legislation on fire damper maintenance states that all fire dampers must be tested by a competed person after they have been installed and at regular intervals every 3 months to 12 Months for safety and approved for Insurances Purposes.
