Operation and maintenance manual
NCA Series 700 motorised leakage rated fire damper
Regular inspection and maintenance of fire dampers is essential to
ensure they remain in good working condition. It is the system owner’s
responsibility to ensure this is carried out.
In accordance with EN 15650:2010 fire damper maintenance routines,
such as that given below, must be carried out at intervals not exceeding 6
months.
Some automatic systems may allow more frequent testing (48 hours or
less) and this may be required by national regulation.
