7.5. Fire Labeled Doors

This standard relates to all doors with a fire-resistant rating, which is part of a passive fire protection system. The existence, or lack thereof, of a fire label on a fire-rated door, does not affect these standards. If the label on the fire-rated door is missing, obscured, hidden, or painted over, the fire-rated door should still be inspected using this standard.
The standards on these doors relate to the following:

• Damaged surface and seals.
• Self-closing hardware on fire-labeled doors.
• Obstructions that prevent a fire-rated door from self-closing to the latched position.
• Fire-rated doors that do not open or have any other form of damage.
• Under this standard, all fire-labeled doors with self-closing devices must function as intended (though there is no design requirement for self-closing hardware)
  Objects that may prevent a fire-labeled door from closing and latching or self-closing and latching may include, but are not limited to:
  1. Wood wedge
  2. Kick-down door stop
  3. Trash can
  4. Furniture
  5. Tape/ Rubber band
