MAINTENANCE AND INSPEC TIoNS
Fire dampers and control mechanisms do not require rou-
tine maintenance.
Extraordinary maintenance (repairs) and periodic inspec-
tion operations are the responsibility of the ventilation sys-
tem operator.
The implementation of a periodic inspection plan allows to
guarantee the efficiency and functionality of the fire damp-
ers for the fire safety of the building.
Periodic inspection and cleaning
„
Periodic inspection shall be performed in accordance with
the requirements of the law or by the building regulations
or other local regulations.
In the absence of specific regulations (or to their comple-
ment), in accordance with point 8.3 of the EN 1560 stand-
ard, it is recommended to carry out the following control
activities at intervals of no more than 6 months:
• If the damper is connected to a remote control or com-
mand system (eg BMS or alarm or fire detection), that
responds correctly to commands by performing at least
one opening and closing test and verifying the correct
movement of the blade and the correct functioning of
the microswitches (limit switches).
• If the damper is not connected to a remote control or
command system, manually execute an opening and
closing test and check the correct movement of the
blade and the correct functioning of the microswitches
(limit switches) if present.
Together with the control activities, it is recommended to
visually verify the absence of corrosion, the integrity of the
electrical wiring and the sealing of the construction sup-
port.
Damper cleaning is included in the ordinary maintenance
activities of the ventilation ducts.
Fire dampers can be cleaned with a dry or wet cloth.
In the case of resistant dirt, it is possible to use normal
household detergents.
If prescribed for the type of building, it is possible to use
disinfectant detergents.
The use of detergents or mechanical abrasive cleaning sys-
tems is not permitted.
These indications comply with the standards EN 15650 an-
nex D and EN 15423 annex C.
Repair
„
For safety reasons, repair activities involving fire-fighting
components must be carried out only by qualified person-
nel.
only original spare parts supplied by the fire damper man-
ufacturer must be used.
A functional test must be performed after each repair.
.
At the end of the inspection, cleaning or repair operations,
check that the fire damper is in the normal operating po-
sition.
Keep records of all inspections, repair activities, any prob-
lems encountered and their resolution.
This practice, even when not mandatory, is very useful in
practice.
