SS13.3
Smoke Curtains – Testing, Maintenance & Certification
Smoke curtains (SS13.3) are a critical part of a building’s smoke control system. They are designed to contain and direct smoke during a fire, helping to keep escape routes clear and giving occupants more time to evacuate safely.
Our Approach
Under the New Zealand Building Act, SS13.3 smoke curtains must be inspected, maintained, and certified by an Independent Qualified Person (IQP) as part of your Building Warrant of Fitness (BWOF). At Proactive Fire, we provide full smoke curtain inspection, testing, maintenance, and IQP certification services in Auckland, ensuring your systems perform when it matters most.
- Annual IQP inspections and Form 12A certification for BWOF compliance
- Operational testing to ensure curtains deploy correctly during alarm activation
- Maintenance and repairs to motors, control panels, and curtain fabrics
- Integration testing with fire detection and smoke control systems
- QR-code inspection records for transparent council audits
Standards & Compliance
- The New Zealand Building Act 2004 and BWOF requirements
