Fire tags

All installed fire rated doorsets must have certified fire tags attached to the doorset to provide evidence of NZS4520 and NZBC compliance. Every fire-rated doorset supplied by NZ Fire Doors comes with an installer declaration that must be completed by the installer and returned promptly to NZ Fire Doors for the issue of fire tags. The declaration needs to detail the approved hardware that has been installed with the doorset.  We will provide fire tags when we receive the declaration and it meets our requirements.

Tip

Intumescent strips do not need to be masked for painting; intumescent performance is rated for up to 5 coats of paint.

Do not paint over brush or rubber smoke seals.
