NFPA 80 Fire Door
Inspection & Annual Testing
Compliant fire door inspections, drop tests, and documentation for commercial and industrial facilities across Southern California.
Schedule Inspection →What NFPA 80 Requires
NFPA 80 — Standard for Fire Doors and Other Opening Protectives — requires that all fire-rated door assemblies be inspected and tested annually by a qualified person. The inspection must cover the door, frame, hardware, and closing mechanisms, and the results must be documented and retained for the life of the door.
For commercial and industrial facilities in California, NFPA 80 compliance is enforced through the California Fire Code and is commonly required during insurance audits, facility inspections, and tenant improvement sign-offs.
An NFPA Member on Our Team
A member of the InSev Tech team holds an individual NFPA membership.
That membership gives our technicians direct access to current NFPA standards — including NFPA 80 — and to NFPA's technical updates, so the requirements we inspect against stay current.
