Fire Dampers
The service and installation of fire dampers are crucial components of fire safety systems in buildings, ensuring the containment of fire and smoke to prevent their spread through ductwork. Both Irish and European standards provide guidelines for the proper servicing, installation, and maintenance of fire dampers to ensure their effectiveness in the event of a fire.
In Ireland, fire damper installation and servicing must adhere to regulations such as the Building Regulations and the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act. European standards, such as EN 15650, provide further specifications for the testing and classification of fire dampers.

Service and Maintenance of Fire Dampers
Regular servicing and maintenance of fire dampers are essential to ensure they remain in optimal working condition. This involves inspections by trained technicians to check for any signs of damage, corrosion, or obstructions that may affect the damper’s operation. Dampers should be tested periodically to verify that they close properly in response to fire alarms or triggers.
Installation of Fire Dampers
Fire damper installation must comply with building regulations and manufacturer specifications. Proper installation ensures that dampers are positioned correctly within the ductwork to effectively compartmentalise fire and smoke.
