Purpose
This document specifies the method of test for determining the fire resistance of lift landing doors which may be exposed to a fire from the landing side. The procedure applies to all types of lift landing doors used as a means of access to lifts in buildings and which are intended to provide a fire barrier to the spread of fire via the lift well.
The procedure allows for the measurement of integrity and if required the measurement of radiation and thermal insulation.
No requirements other than the verification that the specimen is operational are included for mechanical conditioning before the test as these are included in the relevant product standard.

PALEA strongly believe that the new Malaysian standard for fire testing of landing doors should be aligned with best practice and years of learning and incident experiences that went into the EN ISO 3008īŧEN81-58īŧ standard and was ratified by global fire experts, multiple testing laboratories and the wider industry on a scale never seen. Malaysia is a valued member of WTO and ISO bodies, we propose that the new Malaysia standards should not be mixed with outdated requirements but algin to the latest ISO standards on the subject.

Propose to align DMS 1600-29:202X with EN81-58 requirements for benefits of consumers and lift industry

(1) DMS 1600-29 needs more clarification especially in Appendix F. (Label / F.1.3 Information requirements - very confusing) (2). To get other interested parties & agencies (BOMBA/JKR/KPKT/REDHA) to facilitate a grace period of 5 years to the industry for compliance upon publish of MS Standards.

The draft DMS 1600-29 needs more clarification especially in Appendix F. Also, is this standard harmonised with common international standards like ISO and EN

Comments as below:
1. Clause 15 â Hybrid adoption of EN81-58 and BS 476. It is recommended to consider EN81-58 OR BS 476 instead of âANDâ for sake of better alignment work with global suppliers
2. Identification of landing door shall base on Lift serial number or Manufacturing No., or Batch No., instead of each landing door unit.
3. Recognised certified body (not restricted to âSIRIMâ only). Refer to comment as stated in item 1) above, if allow EN81-58 OR BS 476, more testing laboratories and certified bodies are available for the industry stakeholders to consider
4. Adopting ISO 3008-2 standards is strongly recommended as this will be the standard recognised globally in future code development.
5. Annex A - Description of the canopy and measuring system. The methodology and practicality in performing the test is questionable and not practical (inside the âcanopyâ).
Hence, having hybrid standard in the MS 1600 is not feasible.
6. Grace period of 5 years, should be given to the industry for compliance upon publish of MS. Standards.
