Why fire damper testing matters

When it comes to fire safety, it’s easy to overlook what’s hidden behind the walls — but fire dampers are a critical line of defence.

Regular testing isn’t just a box-ticking exercise — it’s a legal requirement that could save lives and protect your building from devastating damage.

Here’s why it matters.

What are fire dampers?

Fire dampers are installed in ventilation systems to stop the spread of fire and smoke.

If they fail, flames and toxic smoke can move rapidly through ductwork.

Is testing required?

Yes — under BS 9999 and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, regular testing is a legal requirement for all commercial buildings.

How often should fire dampers be tested?

According to BS 9999:

• Every 12 months (minimum)
• After installation or modifications
• More frequently in high-risk areas

Healthcare sites must comply with HTM 03-01 and test annually as standard.
