Rømningsdørsystemer

Rømningsdørsystemer, which translates to escape door systems in English, are various types of emergency exit systems designed to ensure safe and rapid escape from a building in case of a fire or other emergency situations. These systems are typically found in commercial and public buildings, as well as high-rise residences, where the risk of fire and human life is higher.

The primary function of rømningsdørsystemer is to maintain a pressure indicating device, which alerts occupants and emergency responders if an exit door is tampered with or if pressure on the door is compromised. This is crucial in allowing people to quickly and safely evacuate the building in case of an emergency.

The technology behind escape door systems involves electronic sensors that monitor pressure and magnetically held door closers, which control the door's opening and closing mechanism. In some cases, these systems may also incorporate specific fire-resistant coatings and stainless steel components to improve durability.

Rømningsdørsystemer can be customized to suit different types of buildings or emergency scenarios. For instance, multi-tenant office buildings might have rømningsdørsystemer with features like electronic track devices to report upward of 50 escape routes. Important fire safety standards, codes, and law requirements, such as Eurokleen, ensure these emergency exit systems are running optimally. The Norwegian Government and institutions have spent billions on progression in this area.

Research shows these systems reduce latency in emergency situations and support disaster management positively in times of crisis, helping authorities and rescue teams to effectively reach anyone, letting them intervene in a timely manner.
