  1. Per IBC Table 716.1(2), what fire protection rating is required for a door installed in a 2-hour fire barrier?

    Answer: 1½ hours (90 minutes)

    IBC Table 716.1(2) requires a 1½-hour (90-minute) rated door assembly for openings in 2-hour fire barriers.

  2. Which NFPA standard governs the installation and maintenance requirements for fire doors and other opening protectives?

    Answer: NFPA 80

    NFPA 80 (Standard for Fire Doors and Other Opening Protectives) specifies installation, inspection, testing, and maintenance requirements for all types of fire-rated opening protectives.

  3. Which standard governs the installation of fire and smoke dampers in air-distribution systems penetrating fire-rated assemblies?

    Answer: NFPA 90A

    NFPA 90A (Standard for the Installation of Air-Conditioning and Ventilating Systems) contains the installation requirements for fire dampers and smoke dampers in HVAC ductwork.

  4. Under UL 10C (Positive Pressure Fire Tests of Door Assemblies), doors are tested under what pressure condition?

    Answer: Positive pressure on the fire side to simulate realistic fire-driven pressure differentials

    UL 10C subjects doors to positive pressure on the fire side, reflecting the pressure-driven conditions actual fires create, which is more demanding than the neutral-pressure tests in earlier standards.

  5. A 'temperature-rise' fire door per NFPA 80 is rated based on the maximum allowable temperature rise on the unexposed face measured at:

    Answer: 30 minutes

    NFPA 80 defines temperature-rise door ratings (150°F, 250°F, or 450°F) based on the temperature increase on the unexposed face at the 30-minute point during fire testing.

  6. A combination fire/smoke damper is required to close upon:

    Answer: Either actuation of a fusible link at its rated temperature or receipt of an electrical signal from a smoke detector

    Combination fire/smoke dampers incorporate both a thermal (fusible link) actuator for fire conditions and an electrical actuator for smoke control, responding to either trigger.

  7. Which statement correctly describes the requirement for fire-rated glazing installed in fire-rated assemblies?

    Answer: Fire-rated glazing must bear a label showing its listing and must be installed per the listing to count as part of the rated assembly

    Per IBC Section 716 and NFPA 80, fire-rated glazing must be listed and labeled for its specific application, and must be installed in accordance with the listing to maintain the assembly's rating.
