Chart of Door Fire Ratings and Labels
As previously indicated, doors are branded according to how long (in hours or minutes) they are anticipated to offer protection. A letter-rating that correlates to the time-based ratings may be seen on certain extremely ancient doors. We have included the letters in our chart below for reference, but current projects should utilize time-based ratings.
HOUR RATING | MINUTE RATING | LETTER RATING | MAX. GLASS AREA |
---|
4 HR | 240 MIN | — | — |
3 HR | 180 MIN | A | 100 square inches per leaf |
1 1/2 HR | 90 MIN | B | 100 square inches per leaf |
1 HR | 60 MIN | — | 1296 square inches per lite |
3/4 HR | 45 MIN | C | 1296 square inches per lite |
1/3 HR | 20 MIN | — | 1296 square inches per lite |
“Limited to the maximum area tested.”
Additionally, doors may have a temperature rise rating in degrees. This displays the anticipated surface temperature on the door’s inside after 30 minutes of exposure to fire. This will be labelled as being 250°, 450°, or 650°. Any glass that is a part of the door must also meet the standards for temperature increase.
S-Label or “Smoke Rating”
S-Labels are required by several regulations for specific doors in particular occupancies. For instance, smoke protection is frequently needed for corridor doors to stop smoke from entering or escaping from an occupied location.
A “smoke rating” is not exactly what an S-label is. The S-label instead certifies that the door passes the air leakage testing required by UL 1784: Standard for Air Leakage Tests of Door Assemblies and Other Opening Protectives. But if air cannot seep through the door assembly, smoke cannot travel through. Installing UL-certified gasketing is typically how an S-label is obtained.
Required Door Ratings Based on Partition Rating
Based on the rating of the barrier or partition that the door is in, the required door rating is determined. The building code should be consulted owing to the difficulty in calculating the rating of the partition and the permitted kind of opening; however, the table below offers an overview.
The International Building Code has a comprehensive list of standards in Table 716.5. Local laws may differ.
TYPE OF WALL ASSEMBLY | WALL RATING | MINIMUM DOOR RATING |
---|
Fire Wall or Fire Barrier | 4 HR | 180 MIN |
Fire Wall or Fire Barrier | 3 HR | 180 MIN |
Fire Wall or Fire Barrier | 2 HR | 90 MIN |
Fire Wall or Fire Barrier | 1 1/2 HR | 90 MIN |
Fire Barrier Having a 1 HR FRR* | 1 HR | 60 MIN |
Other Fire Barriers | 1 HR | 45 MIN |
Fire Partitions (Corridor Walls) | 1 HR | 20 MIN |
Fire Partitions (Corridor Walls) | 30 MIN | 20 MIN |
Other Fire Partitions (Non-Corridor Walls) | 1 HR | 45 MIN |
Other Fire Partitions (Non-Corridor Walls) | 30 MIN | 20 MIN |
Exterior Walls | 3 HR | 90 MIN |
Exterior Walls | 2 HR | 90 MIN |
Exterior Walls | 1 HR | 45 MIN |
Smoke Barriers | 1 HR | 20 MIN |
