SANS 1253:2016 Safety Standards
Allandel doors comply fully with SANS 1253:2016, and meet or exceed the test criteria. We remain committed to strictly adhere to the provisions of SANS 1253:2016 so as to provide our clients and the occupants of buildings with peace of mind. Their lives are protected when Allandel doors are in service.
We have obtained a test report confirming that the prototype tested complies fully with the following criteria set out in SANS 1253:2016:
1. Glazing:
NOTE: Allandel only use approved glazing that can withstand the criteria permitted for each Class and that conforms to the criteria set out under the relevant SANS codes.
2. Fastenings:
3. Closing device:
4. Fit:
NOTE: Allandel door leaves are sized to suit the frame and when the frames are built in true / plumb, these tolerances will be achieved.
5. Marking:
Each door assembly shall have metal identification plates fixed to each leaf and frame in a visible position, clearly displaying the following information:
6. Tested prototype and variations from the prototype:
Shall either be tested or approved / certified in writing by the testing authority to be acceptable. There should be no likelihood of it to jeopardise its fire resistance when placed in service.
7. Size:
Doors may be made smaller than the tested prototype, however the thickness and clearances may not be altered.
The door width may be increased by 15% and the height by 10%, on condition that all other aspects of the door remain identical to that tested.
