with 8.6 requirements where no data plate is provided in accordance with 2.13.4.2.4 (b) The data provided in the table are based on a survey of several Canadian manufacturers based on information data in the early 1990s and are intended to be used as a guideline only (c) The table covers sheet steel doors with painted surfaces without cladding (d) Door closing time, t, expressed in the table as either normal speed or reduced speed is the time to travel from a point 50 mm (2 in.) away from jamb to a point 50 mm (2 in.) away from the opposite jamb for side-opening doors In the case of center opening doors, time to travel is from a point 25 mm (1 in.) away from jamb to a point 25 mm (1 in.) from the center This distance is referred to as the Code zone distance in A17/B44 Requirement 2.13.4.2.2 (e) In the absence of actual minimum door close time from the manufacturer, use the upper time limit of the range for adjustment and inspection purposes 389 INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK 390
