Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Class E fire door?

A Class E fire door provides 30 minutes of fire resistance. In South Africa, Class E fire doors are classified to SANS 1253 and tested to SANS 10177-2. This assembly achieved R30/E30/I30 — 30 minutes of structural stability, flame integrity, and thermal insulation.

What does R30/E30/I30 mean?

These are the three fire resistance criteria: Stability (R) – the door remains structurally intact for 30 minutes; Integrity (E) – no flames or hot gases pass through for 30 minutes; Insulation (I) – the unexposed face temperature remains within limits for 30 minutes.

Where are Class E fire doors required?

Class E fire doors are typically required for garage-to-house separations, stairwell enclosures, and internal fire-compartment boundaries in residential and light commercial buildings. Requirements are governed by SANS 10400-T and your project’s fire strategy.
