We have a door in the field where during an annual fired door inspection it was noticed that a supplemental label indicating that the fie door is to be equipped with fire exit hardware. The door carries a 60 minute label and was machined at the factory, under licensed service, for a rim exit device. My question is: since the missing label is a non-controlled label with additional information, is it required that this supplemental label be installed by a certified third party agent?
Not sure why the question got cut off. According to NFPA 80 the supplemental label is required, my question is, does it have to be field applied by a certified 3rd party agent or since it is supplemental can a factory person apply the supplemental label in the field?

Hi Dick:
I do not see any prohibiting aspect to field labeling fire doors in accordance to the labeling requirements of the NFPA 80 standard. The fire door must be certified to meet the listing requirements of the testing agency in order to field labeled.
This labeling service has been acceptable to our jurisdiction as missing or damage labels are common during the life of the doors.
Maybe some are implying too much into the standard.
Respectfully,
Milt Werner
I am thinking the label is not required.
Are these doors in a stairwell??

Send your question to the person in the link above.
Back to my thinking, I would say either one.
Do you have a section reference for the requirement???
