| Date: | 5/3/20, 8:01 pm |
We contacted Fire NSW and got the information first hand.
a) The floor snake can be put on the inside of the property but must not be on the external side of the door (on common property). Lot 158 is already compliant in that regard.
What is the relevance of door snake in regards to BCA Spec C3.4 & AS 1905.1:
4. Fire Shutters
A required fire shutter must—
(a) be a shutter that -
(i) is identical with a tested prototype that has
achieved the required FRL; and
(ii) is installed in the same manner and in an
opening that is not larger than the tested prototype; and
(ii) did not have a rise in average temperature on
the side remote from the furnace of more than 140 K during the
first 30 minutes of the test; or
(b) be a steel shutter complying with AS 1905.2 if
metallic fire shutter is not prohibited by C3.5.
b) Lot 158 has Lockwood 160° Chrome Door Viewer (Bunnings). It has been tested up to 4 hours on fire door assemblies in accordance with Australian Standard AS 1905.1: Fire Resistant Doorsets.
Further to my email this morning, please find attached a reference from Eagle Fire in relation to your Unit 158 and in relation to the issues recently discussed.
