FLAME ARMOUR+ (SERVICE HATCH) PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS:

Flame Armour+ (Service Hatch Fire Shutter)

This product is designed and tested for installations into Servery Hatch (Countertop) applications.

Certification Bodies have recently highlighted an omission within the roller shutter extended application standard BS EN 15269-10: 2011, specifically relating to fire-resistant roller shutters installed into servery hatch applications. This standard defines the permitted variations and applicable rules that can be applied by a manufacturer based upon their supporting test evidence, any installation which is elevated above Finished Floor Level (FFL) would be considered outside the scope of this standard. Due to there being no applicable rule, or calculation methodology within Annex B of EN 15269-10, particularly for extrapolating from the typically tested Finished Floor Level (FFL) to a higher elevation, manufacturers are required to obtained direct test evidence for servery hatch applications for their products.

To address this oversight and ensure the products supplied are fully compliant with the latest industry guidance and requirements, SSS Industrial Doors Ltd were the first manufacturer to undertake dedicated fire testing to EN 1643-1: 2014 + A1: 2018 for this application. This resulted in a new product being brought to the market, the Flame Armour+ fire-resistant roller shutter has been purposely designed and tested exclusively for servery hatch and countertop applications, providing confidence with validated direct test evidence for this type of application.

Covered by the following UKAS Accredited Testing Laboratory and/or Certification Body:

Fire Protection Association (UKAS Accredited Body No. 10536) - Technical Assessment Report No. FPA107941
Efectis UK/Ireland Limited (UKAS Accredited Body No. 10169) – Extended Application Report No. EUI-25-00055

Flame Armour+ (Servery Hatch Applications) Fire Shutters Scope:

✓ Integrity performance for up to 2 hours (E120 ratings)
✓ Integrity & Radiation performance of 20 minutes (EW20 rating) – Subject to Conditions
✓ Furnace Tested to EN 1634-1:2014 + A1: 2018 (superseding BS 476: Part 22: 1987)
✓ Manufactured in accordance with Efectis UK/Ireland Extended Application Report No. EUI-25-000555
✓ Gravity fail-safe motor option: Closes automatically in case of fire or power failure
✓ Offering both tubular and inline (chain-driven) industrial motor applications.
✓ Suitable for ‘Rigid’ & ‘Flexible’ supporting constructions (as defined within EN 1363-1), primarily servery hatch apertures/configurations.

Technical Assessment of Fire Resistance Performance Report No. FPA107941

Due to the inherent complexity and variation in substrate designs used for servery hatch applications, a dedicated Technical Assessment of Fire Resistance Performance has been obtained, confirming 60 minutes Integrity in accordance with BS EN 1634-1:2014 + A1:2018. This assessment provides ‘Principal Designers’ (e.g., architects) with greater flexibility when specifying the Flame Armour+ fire-resistant roller shutter, while ensuring that its certified Integrity performance is not compromised.

The report covers the following substrate variations within the approved 60-minute Integrity scope:

✓ Alternative Countertop Configurations of Increased/Decreased height
✓ Alternative Countertop materials/type of a ‘Class A1’ performance in accordance with EN 13501-1
✓ Option for installation into ‘masonry’ and ‘standard timber stud’ supporting constructions
✓ Option for ‘Softwood’, ‘Hardwood’ or ‘Cross-laminated timber (CLT)’ studs or battens
✓ Option for the inclusion of insulated and/or uninsulated cavities within the flexible structure
✓ Option for installation to alternative fire-rated boards, of equal or greater integrity performance
✓ Alternative floor material using other materials classified as ‘A2’ in accordance with EN 13501-1

It is strongly advised that any Principal Designer intending to reference this Technical Assessment adopts a cautious and informed approach to ensure continued compliance with UK Building Regulations. This report was commonised by the manufacturer to address installation-related variations commonly encountered onsite by trade partners. Anyone proposing to rely on this documentation should consult directly with the manufacturer before proceeding. The manufacturer cannot be held liable or accountable for any design decisions, interpretations, or applications made on the basis of this Technical Assessment. Responsibility for ensuring compliance with all relevant statutory requirements, regulatory obligations, and project-specific design criteria rests solely with the Principal Designer and associated duty-holders.

Latest Industry Guidance On Fire Resistant - Approved Document B

The UK Government statutory guidance stated within ‘Approved Document B’ Volume 1, the 2029 amendments, regarding the fire safety provisions incorporates the removal of the national classes for fire resistance (i.e. the previously acceptance of fire resistance doorsets tested to BS 476: Part 22: 1987 and classified as ‘FD60’ for a 60 minutes fire performance is no longer permitted).

In anticipation of this nationwide industry change, which replaces the BS 476 series of testing methodology with the European testing and classification system, all fire resistance doorsets will be required to be classified in accordance with EN 13501-2 to be supplied to the UK marketplace. Our products have already been classified for up to a period of 240 minutes integrity performance (i.e. E240 performance).

At SSS Industrial Doors Ltd, we believe in a pro-active, transparent approach with all our customers (trade and end-users). As a result, we have made our Classification Reports, publicly available on our website. This allows end-users, Building Control Authorities, Fire Officers, or Principal Designers to download our certification documentation and check the scope of the product for both verification purposes, and compliance with the latest building regulations and guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Any thing you have in mind, we got the answer

We have compiled a list of some questions that are worthwhile asking when researching and requesting quotes.

Do you supply nationwide?

Yes. We are based in Bolton, but supply all over the UK!

How often should industrial door products be maintained?

To align with the government’s workplace health and safety regulations, regular maintenance of workplace equipment and machinery should be carried out to ensure they are in efficient working order. For fire safety installation products, you should check them when you carry out fire risk assessments: every six months is recommended. You need to make sure professionals are checking them to spot any operation faults or things you may miss, that’s why a maintenance contract is highly recommended to ensure you’re always compliant with health and safety regulations.

What if a product needs urgent repair?

Although rare, we can assure you that if there is any fault detected, our maintenance and repair team offer a 24-hour call-out service who aim to repair a product within 24 hours of being contacted.

What is the turnaround from ordering to installation?

We aim to complete all products within approximately one week from the date of official order, with an open option to deliver products direct to yourselves or direct to site.

What kinds of businesses do you manufacture fire safety and security installation products for?

Whatever the industry or size of premises, we can tailor fire protection and security products to suit individual operations, factoring in the aesthetic and functionality. Whether you run an office, factory, industrial unit, school, or retail business, we manufacture and supply compliant fire protection and security products for a range of applications.

Are your products tested and certified?

Yes. For our fire products, there are different fire ratings – depending on the product – that show the number of minutes the product can provide fire protection for. We test our products at recognised and certified independent fire safety testing sites. All of our security and fire safety products always meet up-to-date certification and marking requirements.
