10.1 Acceptance testing
After a hold-open system has been installed ready for operation at the place of use, its proper func-
tion and installation according to instructions – including closing range monitoring safety devices,
if any are provided – must be verified in an acceptance test. The applicant for the general building
type approval must point out that this test must be performed. The test must be initiated by the
owner/operator. The acceptance test of hold-open systems at fire barriers may only be carried out
by qualified personnel of the applicant for the general building type approval or by qualified per-
sonnel authorised by said applicant or by qualified personnel of a testing centre accredited by the
DIBt in the course of the approval procedure.
The acceptance test must at least include the following items:
1. It must be verified that the built-in devices of the hold-open system correspond to the devices
specified in the general building type approval.
2. It must be verified that the labelling of the built-in devices corresponds to the labelling specified
in the general building type approval.
3. The cooperation of all devices must be verified according to the general building type approval,
wherein the devices must be triggered both by simulating the characteristic fire value under-
lying the functional principle of the detectors and by hand.
4. It must be verified that the closure is enabled for self-closing as soon as the hold-open system is
no longer functional (e.g. due to removal of a detector or failure of the energy supply).
The smoke switches must be tested by simulating the relevant physical characteristic fire value. If
the characteristic fire value is smoke, test aerosol 918/5 can be used. External systems may only be
activated together with the specialist companies involved and with the client‘s approval.
After completed commissioning, the results thereof must be seamlessly documented in a positive
list and made available for acceptance of the system. For documenting the commissioning process,
we offer a commissioning and maintenance set (IW Set RS, part no. 7001949) which meets the
requirements of DIBt and DIN 14677.
