What is the annual requirement for testing electromagnetic dampers?
2011 TJC accreditation manual for hospitals. Standard EC.02.03.05 The hospital maintains fire safety equipment and fire safety building features. Elements of Performance for EC.02.03.05 EP 18. The hospital operates fire and smoke dampers 1 year after installation and then at least every 6 years to verify that they fully close. The completion date of the tests is documented. Note 1: The initial test that must occur 1 year after installation applies only to dampers installed on and after January 1, 2008. Note 2: For additional guidance, see NFPA 80 Standard for Fire Doors and Other Opening Protectives, 2007 edition (Section 19.4.1.1) and NFPA 105, 2007 edition (Section 6.5.2).
