The DAI600 curriculum is focused on understanding the role and responsibilities of the fire and egress door inspectors as
well as interacting with the building owner and the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). It is paramount to ensure that
the respective parties clearly understand the inspection process and documentation and how to follow through with the
necessary corrections to improve safety in their facilities.
This class will teach you how to perform and record these inspections, as well as provide tips for interacting with building
owners and AHJs. It requires an intermediate level of understanding of door, frame, and hardware products and applications,
and applicable code familiarity to conduct inspections.
Students of this course are recommended to complete the specific DHI courses mentioned above, or have comparable
knowledge or experience. The first critical course, COR117- Door, Frame, and Architectural Hardware Applications, is focused
on products and their applications. If you have not taken this course but have significant experience in non-residential
doors, frames, and hardware, a complimentary knowledge assessment exam is available to evaluate your readiness for
the DAI 600 class. Because the DAI600 course is based heavily on understanding codes, which are updated every three
years, we strongly suggest that the second course, COR140 – Using Codes and Standards, be taken prior to DAI600, and
if not taken within the past three years, the DHI CEP code update classes may also be taken.
You will review material from the follow intermediate level courses:
- Perform visual inspections and conduct operational testing of swinging fire doors
- Authorize inspection reports for building owners and AHJ requirements
- Recommend corrective actions necessary in compliance with inspection requirements
- Interface with building owners and AHJs on inspection requirements and issues
- Understand NFPA 101 inspections, occupancy types, means of egress, special locking arrangements, capacity calculations,
hazard contents, and perform egress inspections - Provide Performance-Based option explanation and guidance
- Research manufacturers’ labels and listings
- Provide instruction for the care and maintenance of components along with approved field modifications when necessary
