Tests are made on complete fire door sets: ie. the fire door and door frame with all the requisite hardware (e.g. locks, latches, hinges, etc). Actual firing test is conducted to determine the period of fire resistance and test report will be issued by SIRIM upon successful completion of test of which will be followed by Product Certification from both SIRIM and Bomba.
