The Essential Guide to Fire Door and Frame Tags: Staying Compliant with AS 1319 and AS 1905.1

Fire doors only do their job if everyone on site can see their status at a glance. Fire door and frame tags carry the inspection history, the responsible party and the next due date — and auditors check them first.

Why fire door tagging matters

Fire door assemblies and their installation are covered by Australian requirements including AS 1905.1, and safety signage design rules sit under AS 1319. Your certifier or fire contractor will tell you what data must appear on the tag for your building; the tag itself has to survive the door's life — cleaning, contact and years of sun through glass foyers.

What belongs on a fire door tag

  • Date of the most recent inspection.
  • Inspector or company identity.
  • Next inspection due date.
  • Pass or fail status where your process uses it.

Choosing tags that last

Fire door tags are handled often, so a torn or faded tag undermines the whole record. Durable printed tags with UV-stable inks, or engraved plates for permanent identification, both work — the key is a surface that stays legible between inspection cycles.
