FAQ
What Australian standard covers fire doors?
Fire-resistant doorsets are governed by AS 1905.1 , which the National Construction Code calls up as the standard fire doors must meet. It covers how the doorset is built, installed and identified.
What does a fire-door sign have to say?
The identifying legend is FIRE SAFETY DOOR and DO NOT OBSTRUCT, with DO NOT KEEP OPEN added on self-closing doors that must not be propped. Confirm the exact wording and letter height for your door type against AS 1905.1.
Can I block a fire door if it is only temporary?
No. SafeWork SA requires exit routes to stay clear and unobstructed at all times, so even a temporary blockage in front of a fire door is a problem.
Is a green EXIT sign the same as a fire-door sign?
No. The illuminated EXIT or running-man sign is a separate NCC requirement for visibility in an emergency . A fire door often needs both its fire-safety legend and a nearby exit sign.
