December 31, 2025 – SURAPID Elevator, a leading Chinese elevator manufacturer and reliable elevator supplier, has proudly achieved the prestigious EI120 fire resistance certification in Malaysia. This milestone certification, issued by the Malaysian Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM), confirms that SURAPID's elevator landing doors and shaft doors meet the highest international fire safety standards for passenger elevators, residential elevators, commercial elevators and high-rise building elevator systems.
An EI120 fire door (also known as EI120 fire rated elevator door or 120-minute fire resistant elevator landing door) is a specialized fireproof elevator door engineered to withstand intense fire conditions for a full 120 minutes. The "EI" designation refers to:
E – Integrity：The door prevents flames, smoke, and hot gases from penetrating the elevator shaft or cabin.
I – Insulation：It limits heat transfer to the protected side, maintaining average temperatures below 140°C and peak temperatures below 180°C.
This certification aligns with global standards such as EN 81-58 (European standard for fire-resistant elevator doors) and is increasingly required in modern high-rise elevator installations, fire-resistant elevator shafts, and elevators in fire compartments.
In high-rise buildings, elevators often serve as vertical pathways that can accelerate fire and smoke spread if unprotected. SURAPID's EI120 certified elevator doors deliver multiple layers of safety assurance for passenger safety in elevators:
Fire containment in elevator shafts：Prevents fire from traveling vertically through elevator hoistways, buying precious time for safe evacuation and firefighter access.
Smoke and toxic gas isolation：Reduces smoke ingress into elevator cabins, protecting passengers during emergency rescue operations.
Thermal insulation for trapped passengers：Maintains survivable temperatures inside the elevator car during prolonged fire exposure.
Structural integrity under extreme heat：SURAPID's fire-rated doors showed no deformation, warping or failure during the rigorous 120-minute test.
Compliance for elevator fire safety regulations：Meets stringent requirements for fire-rated elevators in Malaysia, high-rise elevator fire protection, and international building codes.
This certification is particularly valuable for residential high-rise elevators, commercial office building elevators, hotel passenger elevators, hospital bed elevators, and public transport terminal elevators, where fire safety is non-negotiable.
Passing the Malaysia EI120 fire resistance test reinforces SURAPID Elevator's position as a trusted Chinese elevator exporter, OEM elevator manufacturer and full elevator system supplier. With in-house production of key components and a focus on fire-resistant elevator technology, SURAPID continues to deliver safe, durable and high-performance solutions for international elevator projects.
For elevator companies, building contractors, regional elevator distributors and project developers seeking EI120 certified elevators, fire-rated passenger elevators or compliant high-rise elevator systems, this certification provides extra confidence in product quality and regulatory compliance.
