AS 1851 Section 12 & ESM Compliance

Victorian AS 1851 passive fire containment requirements

Fire doors and emergency exit corridors form the critical passive containment system of your building. Under AS 1851 Section 12 and the Victorian Building Regulations 2018, fire doors must undergo routine 6-monthly operational checks to contain smoke and flame, guaranteeing clear escape paths during emergency evacuations.

Mandatory 6-monthly operational checks

Every fire door assembly is tested against strict tolerance metrics by accredited technicians.

Self-closing mechanisms

Testing hydraulic speed and power to ensure doors latch fully from any open angle without human intervention.

Latch operation & engagement

Verifying mechanical latch bolts engage positively with strike plates to resist room pressurisation.

Perimeter & threshold gaps

Measuring clearances against AS 1905.1 standards to prevent hot toxic gas leakage around door edges.

Intumescent & smoke seals

Inspecting heat-expanding seals and smoke brush strips for physical damage, wear, or paint contamination.

All inspections are logged in accordance with Victorian Building Authority (VBA) guidelines to support your Annual Essential Safety Measures Report (AESMR).
