Because these systems remain open during normal operation, routine inspection and testing is essential to confirm they will operate correctly when required.
Operational dampers help maintain fire compartmentation and reduce the movement of smoke and fire through ventilation systems.
Routine inspection and maintenance support compliance with recognised fire safety guidance and building maintenance responsibilities.
