Fire door market warranty is a long-term solution

The importance of security is self-evident, but the entire industry is mixed. The market demand for fire doors this year is huge. There are many companies that produce fire doors that do not meet the standards. For companies with fire protection qualifications, a standardized market is needed to reflect the value of their companies. It is understood that currently there are 19 fire door manufacturers in Wuyi County, and 90% of the remaining 30 companies are in Yongkang. A large-scale renovation of fire doors is about to kick off.

Wide range of applications, fire doors to prevent fire spread Fire doors are made of fire-retardant materials with fire-resistant stability, integrity and thermal insulation, are mainly used for firewall openings in building fire partitions, stairway entrances, evacuation walkways, Pipe wellheads, etc., are generally used for personnel traffic, in the event of a fire, they can prevent the spread of flame and prevent the flow of combustion smoke, and act as a seal when the air supply system is working. Today, with the increasing maturity of fire protection technology, buildings with fire protection requirements have their own fire doors. Most domestic fire protection design codes now require the use of fire doors.

Why do fire doors occupy such an important position in firefighting design? The main reason is that when the building does not have a reasonable fire door configuration, it may cause a small fire to spread and cause a major accident. There are cases for evidence. The MGM Hotel in the United States is a large 26-storey hotel with luxurious interior decoration. However, the amount of combustibles used in the renovation is large, the fire partitioning is not reasonable, and there are even some large holes in the firewall. On November 21, 1980, when a fire broke out in the restaurant on the first floor, the flame quickly spread around and expanded the fire to adjacent casinos through holes that were not equipped with fire doors, resulting in the tragedy of 84 dead and 679 injured.

Fire doors play an extremely important role in preventing the spread of fire. Therefore, fire doors must have a complete set of management methods in production, engineering application and supervision. In this way, the fire door can be used to play its due role in the project.

Fake and shoddy products are flooded, and the fire door market is uneven. At present, there are more than 1,000 companies in the country producing and selling fire doors. There are a wide variety of fire doors sold on the market, but only a handful of products are available. The prices of various fire door products are uneven, and some even differ by several times. Substandard and shoddy shoddy products are still on the market.

The thickness of the fire door steel plate produced by many manufacturers is only half of the standard, and the filler material has poor fire resistance, insufficient thickness, and poor quality fireproof board. In order to obtain market access certifications for related products, some companies even paid a high price to purchase samples for inspection. After the certificate was handed, the quality of their own products was still unqualified.

The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Public Security Fire Department once told the media that the demand for public firefighting facilities and fire safety products in China has increased rapidly in recent years, and the fire protection industry has shown unprecedented momentum of development. At present, the entire industry already has more than 10,000 production and service-oriented enterprises. Nearly a thousand varieties of fire-fighting products are produced. However, the market order of fire products in China is still relatively confusing, and a large number of low-quality firefighting products have flowed into construction projects and firefighting systems, resulting in the virtual use of firefighting facilities, resulting in a large number of fire hazards and seriously endangering public safety.

Experts say that fire doors are a fire isolation device that plays a key role in various buildings. It is closely related to the size of the fire damage caused by the fire door in the fire. According to authoritative statistics and statistics, 82% of the deaths from fires in densely populated places were due to the asphyxiation of poisonous smoke poisoned by the inhalation of interior decorative materials. The fatal culprit in a fire accident is often not fire but smoke. Because many people were already in a coma after inhaling excessive amounts of toxic fumes and buried in the fire.

No rules become a rule, and the industry standard guarantees quality without any rules. Establishing trade associations can establish uniform standards and regulate the actual behavior of various companies. At the same time, they can also accept the overall supervision of the relevant departments more directly so that enterprises can be in the “sunshine”. Under production, enterprises no longer compete for costs, but break through high technology and high technology. All this can be done through industry associations.

At the end of 2009, China had customized new standards for fire doors. The new standard introduces the concepts and requirements of some insulated fire doors and non-insulated fire doors from international and foreign standards. The classification of fire doors is based on the classification of insulation fire doors and they are replaced by insulated fire doors (A Classes), Partially Insulated Fire Doors (Class B) and Non-Insulated Fire Doors (Class C) are classified; at the same time, the fire resistance limits of Class A, Class B and Class C fire doors are adjusted to 1.5h, 1.0h and 0.5. h. This enriches the types of fire door products in China and increases the scope for practical application. For those applications where fire doors require only partial heat insulation or fire-resistance integrity, some fire-retardant or non-insulated fire doors can be used. .

The new standard also stipulates that if the door leaf is filled with material, it should use non-toxic and harmless fireproof and heat insulation materials to reduce the impact on human health. These regulations not only make the installation of fire doors more reasonable, but also reduce the production costs and raw material consumption of fire doors, meet the requirements of environmental protection and the construction of a conservation-oriented society. At the same time, the new version of the standard also increases the content and requirements of steel wood fire doors and other materials fire doors, provides technical basis for the production and inspection of new materials, new technology applications and new fire doors, and expands the development space for fire door manufacturers. .

The quality and quantity are the long-term solution At present, the main problems in the fire door industry are: “Three Nothing” fire doors impersonate the fire doors of the regular enterprises to make up false; the various accessories of the fire doors do not meet the requirements, and even reduce the process Production, resulting in products that do not meet the standards. Previous inspections have also found fire doors with external wood and paper cores. Such fire doors not only do not have fire separation, but also use direct combustible materials to provide fuel for fires. Instead, it plays a direct role in supporting combustion and endangers personal safety.

Fire doors that were supposed to protect lives during times of crisis, if counterfeit fire-fighting products were used, fire doors could become “fire doors”, causing greater harm to fire safety. In the society, it is not uncommon for counterfeits and fire doors to be found. The technical department of the Fire Prevention Department of the Shanghai Municipal Fire Protection Bureau reminded enterprises and public organizations to beware of inferior fire doors and to increase fire hazards.

The formation of the fire door market has been in China for more than 10 years and it has been hot for a while. However, the country’s original standards for fire doors have not been clearly stipulated. Enterprises can only negotiate a standard by themselves, that is, they must be filled with fireproof rock wool in the middle, and honeycomb paper should not be used because honeycomb paper cannot prevent fire. Quality assurance is a long-term plan for the development of the fire door market.

Conclusion: Looking Forward to China's Fire Door Market "Blue Ocean"

China's fire door market is still a “Blue Ocean” market, mainly as follows: The fire door industry is still a new industry, with huge market capacity and market potential; due to the high threshold of qualification of fire doors, the manufacturers that can really enter the fire door industry are still not many. According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 1,000 fire door companies in the country. This does not include those home-based processing units. The quality of the products produced by these processing units varies, and the price of the products ranges from a few hundred to several thousand dollars; the market pattern in the industry has not yet been formed, and there are fewer large companies and big brands, and there are no national leading brands. The development of the market is still at the Blue Ocean. Fire doors are based on the assurance of quality. The prospects for future market development will be even broader.
