Actuation of door release mechanisms - BS 7273-4

Learners will develop knowledge from the FD&FA foundation courses and/or industry experience and apply this to the interfacing with door actuation mechanisms and ancillary systems and equipment. The course provides an understanding of the design, installation, commissioning, and maintenance of door and ancillary system interfacing to the requirements of BS 5839-1, BS 7273-4, BS7273-6 and other relevant Codes of Practice.

Anyone involved in the procurement, delivery, and checking, of FD&FA systems and those who have any responsibility for fire safety within a building e.g., architects, service managers, building/property managers, consultants, fire risk assessors, electrical contractors, fire alarm contractors, interested parties (F&RS, building control, insurers). The course should be of particular interest to those designing, installing, commissioning, and maintaining FD&FA systems.
