NFPA 80, Standard for Fire Doors and Other Opening Protectives.
In a fire event, compliance with NFPA 80, Standard for Fire Doors and Other Opening Protectives, can make all the difference when it comes to occupant life safety and property protection. That is why this standard is referenced in NFPA 101®, Life Safety Code®, building codes, and fire codes nationwide and around the globe.
Proper installation of openings in fire-rated assemblies is critical — and fire doors, fire windows, dampers, and other opening protectives must be inspected and tested periodically to ensure they remain in proper working condition and can help confine a fire should one occur.
