A Study on Related Materials Analysis and Validation Tests for the Selection of Check Points at the Quality Management in Construction Sites - Focused on Fire Doors and Fire Shutters

Based on the building regulations, buildings are required to have fire doors or fire shutters that prevent the spread of fire. These fire safety elements are required to get accreditation before they are used for buildings. In construction sites, contractors and inspectors are supposed to assure the quality of the installation of these elements. However, it has been observed in construction sites that such fire safety components are installed without following the installation guidelines and specifications, and the quality of the installed fire safety elements are often different from the quality of those that were tested for accreditation. Thus, to select check points for fire doors and fire shutters at the quality management in construction sites, related materials were analysed and validation tests were carried out for incorrect cases based on the findings from the analysis.
