Fire Damper Compliance: Safety and Reliability in Action 

Fire safety is a critical aspect of building management, and one often-overlooked component is the fire damper.  

At Cleartech Group Ltd, we’ve been providing comprehensive fire damper drop testing, compliance checks, testing, and surveying since 2020/2021. Our expertise spans across the UK, with dedicated teams based in Scotland and England, serving a variety of industries including healthcare, councils, leisure, and facilities management for clients such as Mitie and Emtec FS. 

 

What Are Fire Dampers? 

Fire dampers are essential components of a building’s fire safety system. Installed within the ductwork of HVAC systems, these devices are designed to prevent the spread of fire and smoke through ventilation pathways. In the event of a fire, the damper automatically closes when triggered by heat, effectively compartmentalising the fire and protecting occupants and property. 

  

The Importance of Regular Testing and Compliance 

Under fire safety regulations, including BS 9999 and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, fire dampers must undergo regular testing and maintenance to ensure their functionality. Neglecting this responsibility could lead to catastrophic failures during an emergency. Compliance checks not only meet legal requirements but also provide peace of mind to building owners and occupants alike.
