Question 1

Does Frameshft's hermetic door comply with MOH operating theatre requirements in Singapore?

Accepted Answer

Frameshft's hermetic automatic doors are certified to BS EN1026:2000 and BS EN12207:2016, the international standards governing air permeability that underpin sterile environment compliance in healthcare settings. All systems are also certified to DIN18650-1:2010, EN16005, and carry TÜV, COC, and CE certification under the LVD Directive. This documentation package supports the audit trail required for MOH facility submissions and JCI accreditation reviews. We recommend engaging Frameshft early in the project design phase to align door specifications with your infection control consultant's requirements.

Question 2

What air pressure differential can Frameshft's hermetic doors maintain across a threshold?

Accepted Answer

Frameshft's hermetic doors achieve the air permeability ratings specified under BS EN1026:2000 and BS EN12207:2016, which define the measurable standard for airtight performance at the door threshold. The perimeter seal system is engineered to maintain the pressure differential between adjacent clinical zones — such as a positive-pressure operating theatre and its scrub corridor — preventing uncontrolled air exchange each time the door cycles. For project-specific pressure differential targets, our engineering team can advise during the consultation phase.

Question 3

What happens to the hermetic door seal if there is a power failure?

Accepted Answer

Frameshft's hermetic automatic doors are fitted with a failsafe motor lock mechanism. In the event of a power loss, the motor lock engages to hold the door in its last position, preventing uncontrolled movement or unplanned air exchange between pressure zones. This failsafe behaviour is critical in operating theatre and ICU environments where an uncontrolled door opening during a procedure would compromise the sterile field. The system uses a 40V 100W German Dunkenmotoren drive unit with integrated motor lock as standard.

Question 4

Can Frameshft retrofit an existing automatic door in our operating theatre to meet pressure differential standards?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Frameshft's retrofit and modernisation service upgrades existing non-hermetic door openings to full pressure differential specification — meeting BS EN1026:2000 and BS EN12207:2016 — without requiring full structural reconstruction of the door frame or wall opening. This is particularly relevant for Singapore hospitals undertaking addition and alteration projects where operational continuity is a priority and full reconstruction is not feasible. Our engineering team conducts a site assessment to determine the most practical upgrade path for each opening.

Question 5

Does Frameshft provide ongoing maintenance for hermetic pressure differential doors after installation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Frameshft offers structured preventive maintenance contracts specifically covering hermetic door systems. Scheduled inspections include seal integrity checks, perimeter gasket condition assessment, and motor lock verification — the three components most critical to sustained pressure differential performance. OEM spare parts are stocked in Singapore, which means any identified component replacement can be carried out without waiting on international supply lead times. Frameshft's maintenance coverage also extends to multi-brand door estates, allowing healthcare facility managers with mixed installed bases to consolidate under a single maintenance contract.
