Hardware performance sheet (HPS) - Identification and summary of test evidence to facilitate the inter-changeability of building hardware for application to fire resisting and/or smoke control doorsets and/or openable windows

This document summarizes relevant results and classifications from tests of the fire and smoke resistance performance of building hardware in the format of a hardware performance sheet (HPS). This document provides guidance and requirements on the minimum data required as a basis for the preparation of EXAP reports for the interchangeability of building hardware on fire-retardant and/or smoke-tight doors and openable windows. This document identifies the performance characteristics and the requirements for building hardware which can be found in the appropriate product standards.
