Black Book
4.1.2 Active fire curtain barriers
An active fire curtain barrier is one which meets the performance standard of BS 8524 and may have smoke resisting properties including a method for calculating the smoke leakage of the curtain fabric and edges. Consequently, with smoke resisting properties this enables a Fire Curtain to be used on a protected escape route where fire door flexible edge ‘seals’ are normally recommended.
