20、ISSION FROM UL INTRODUCTION 1 Scope 1.1 These requirements cover the test procedure applicable to the re-resistance classication of doors intended for the protection of openings of vaults and le rooms. 1.2 Recommendations for record protection equipment and techniques, including the use and installa
21、tion of vault or le room door assemblies, are contained in the Standard for Protection of Records, NFPA 232. 1.3 The terms vault doors and le room doors refer to assemblies consisting of doors, single or in pairs, the frame into which doors are hung, and the necessary hardware. These assemblies are
22、intended to provide re resistance and protection to contents from heat for periods designated by the classications to an extent described in these requirements. 1.4 Vault doors are recommended for use on enclosures of limited volume not exceeding 5000 cubic feet (142 m 3 ), constructed so that no po
23、int on the interior surface will reach a temperature exceeding 350F (177C) when separate vault members or the vault as a whole are exposed to a re regulated according to the standard time-temperature curve. See Figure 8.2. 1.5 File room doors are recommended for enclosures of large volume not exceed
24、ing 50,000 cubic feet (1420 m 3 ) for the storage of records which are not of sufficient importance to economically justify the provision of vaults. It is anticipated that combustibles will not be stored nearer than 3 feet (0.91 m) from the unexposed face of the door nor 6 inches (152 mm) to the sid
25、e from the door joints. 1.6 It is intended that classication shall register performance during the period of exposure and shall not be construed as having determined suitability for use after re exposure. 1.7 A product that contains features, characteristics, components, materials, or systems new or
26、 different from those covered by the requirements in this standard, and that involves a risk of re or of electric shock or injury to persons shall be evaluated using appropriate additional component and end-product requirements to maintain the level of safety as originally anticipated by the intent
27、of this standard. A product whose features, characteristics, components, materials, or systems conict with specic requirements or provisions of this standard does not comply with this standard. Revision of requirements shall be proposed and adopted in conformance with the methods employed for develo
28、pment, revision, and implementation of this standard.

29、thout parentheses are the requirement. Values in parentheses are explanatory or approximate information. 2.2 Undated references 2.2.1 Any undated reference to a code or standard appearing in the requirements of this standard shall be interpreted as referring to the latest edition of that code or sta
30、ndard. 3 Practicability 3.1 Vault and le room doors shall be constructed so that, when installed: a) The door, locking mechanism, and other movable parts are capable of repeated operation prior to tests and b) Repairs of moving parts can be made without damage to the insulating and re-resistive qual
31、ities. Testing for such capability, however, is not within the scope of these requirements. 3.2 Heat-insulating materials used in vault and le room doors shall be free from sweating or swelling and shall be capable of retaining their heat-insulating properties under the intended conditions of use. 4
32、 Instructions 4.1 Each door shall be accompanied by instructions for installation into walls of the types recommended for each classication. 5 Classications and Ratings 5.1 Vault doors classied as to 2-, 4-, and 6-hour re resistance are effective in withstanding: a) Standardized re exposures for the
33、 periods indicated without exceeding a temperature of 350F (177C) during or after the re exposure, 2 inches (51 mm) from the unexposed face, when installed in accordance with instructions accompanying the door; and b) Application of a standard hose stream and reheating for one-half of the classicati
34、on period without destroying the usability of papers or record form papers stored in the vault. See 6.2 and 6.3 for specications. 5.2 Unexposed face refers to the side which is on the inside of the vault or le room. Exposed face refers to the side which is on the outside of the vault or le room. JAN

36、exposures for the periods indicated without exceeding a temperature of 350F (177C) during or after the re exposure, 36 inches (0.91 m) from the unexposed face of the door or 6 inches (152 mm) to the side from the door joints, when installed in accordance with instructions accompanying the door; and
37、b) Application of a standard hose stream and reheating for one-half of the classication period without destroying the usability of papers or record form papers stored in the le room.

39、ERMISSION FROM UL TESTS 6 General 6.1 The vault or le room door assembly shall be constructed so that it will withstand the stresses occasioned by the Fire Endurance Test, Section 8, and the Fire-Hose Stream Reheat Test, Section 9, without bending, distortion, displacement, rupture, or other develop
40、ments which will affect the security of the locks and fastenings between the parts, or the strength of the parts or the assembly. 6.2 In reference to usability of contents of record protection equipment after tests, the paper contents used in tests are to be those considered common newsprint or coat
41、ed and uncoated magazine, letter, le, and record form paper printed, typed, lead-penciled, or penned. Nonpaper records are not used for contents for the tests described in these requirements since testing to determine the ability of various nonpaper records to withstand these conditions is not withi
42、n the scope of this standard. 6.3 Contents to be used in the tests are considered to be usable after tests if capable of ordinary handling, without breaking, and if decipherable by ordinary means. Such contents requiring special preparation to permit handling, or decipherable only by resort to speci
43、al photography or chemical processes, are not considered usable. 7 Size of Test Samples 7.1 The sample assembly for both the Fire Endurance Test, Section 8, and the Fire-Hose Stream Reheat Test, Section 9, shall be of the largest size for which classication is desired. 7.2 When a type or pattern of
44、an assembly has successfully withstood the tests, classication is warranted of subsequent factory output of assemblies of similar construction, design, and sizes varying in height and width within the lineal dimensions of the test sample. 8 Fire Endurance Test 8.1 General 8.1.1 The vault and le room
45、 door assemblies shall withstand the re endurance test: a) For the periods for which classication is desired; b) Preventing the interior temperature from exceeding 350F (177C) during the re exposure or after the furnace res have been extinguished; c) Without destroying the usability of the records s
46、tored in the vault chamber; and d) Without developing conditions indicating disintegration of the parts or materials which will affect the tightness of closure or the heat insulation. 8.1.2 Door assemblies of all classes shall withstand the Fire Endurance Test, Section 8, and the Fire-Hose Stream Re
47、heat Test, Section 9: a) Without destroying the usability of the records stored inside the vault chamber and APRIL 5, 2000 TESTS FOR FIRE RESISTANCE OF VAULT AND FILE ROOM DOORS - UL 155 7UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHORIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL b) Wi
48、thout developing temperatures, separations, distortions, displacements, or ruptures that would indicate reductions in the tightness of the closure or the heat-insulating properties of the door assembly. See 6.2 and 6.3. 8.2 Test structure 8.2.1 The door under test is to be mounted into a wall of the
49、 kind and thickness recommended for the classication for which the test is to be conducted, in accordance with the installation instructions furnished by the manufacturer. This wall is to be placed in front of a furnace in such a manner that the exposed face of the door will be subject to the furnace re. 8.2.2 The unexposed side of the wall and the unexposed face of the door assembly are to be enclosed by an insulated chamber consist
