Fire and Smoke Damper Requirements
Fire dampers, smoke dampers, and combination fire smoke dampers may be hidden from view but they play an integral role in passive fire protection. Together, fire and smoke dampers prevent fire and smoke from spreading through a facility’s ductwork. In most cases, fire damper inspection and testing requirements are every four years and every six years for healthcare facilities.
