The scope extends to the necessary protection of door or wall openings, including the adjoining floors and ceilings, to ensure effective fire and smoke compartmentation within a structure and prevent the spread of smoke.
This draft standard does not cover doors that are vertical sliding, or swinging doors used in hoist-way doors for lifts and dumbwaiters. Fire safety curtains and vault doors are also not covered in this standard.
